A minor update to my previous review. A few small nuisances, all of them software.
*) Font Size. There is a commendable lot of them, but IMO too few small settings. You get S, M, L, and a bunch of X...L. I have yet to use anything beyong M and S, and today again S was almost too small but M definitely too large.
*) Hardware Buttons in landscape mode. Maybe it's me, but I think they're switched wrong. I've turned the book 90° left (both directions are possible, very nice), and I have to push the left button to get to the next page (on the right side).
*) Night reading mode.
A very nice idea, it inverses the usual black/white scheme. So you're reading white letters on a dark background - ideal when reading in a dark room.
Not so ideal, however, is that the reader often behaves like a badly wrought dynamic HTML site - i.e. constantly refreshing for a second or two, and completely ignoring the dark scheme.
I know I'm rather thin-skinned when it comes to flashing lights (fortunately it's just a pet peeve, nothing serious like epilepsy), so I found it to be QUITE annoying when I read in a dark room and suddenly the screen started flashing white.
Also, there is one hardware nuisance which I'd love to have an explanation for. The rest button.
I know it's a common theme, but why does a reset button have to be so small and inset that it is almost impossible to reach it without specialized equipment? I understand you don't want to push it accidently, but if it's within a groove of say 2 mm across, with a deep sitting button (but a rubber cover above, so you can still reach it with any suitable implement) that should be fine?
Matter of fact, I recently had the enjoyment of spending over half an hour musing about such things because I accidently pressed a button during bootup and had nothing on my with which I could press that damned button.
(Fortunately I still have Cribbage on my cell phone, so I had something to waste my time on during the train ride.)
