Questions about Mentor lite firmware
There is so little information out there about the Mentor lite -- I wondered if someone who is familiar with it could answer some questions about the firmware:
Thanks! Last edited by maxbookworm; 06-15-2010 at 01:25 PM. |

Mentor Lite info
Quote:
The best place for Mentor Lite info is on my blog: www.robertbEZ.blogspot.com It has three font style choices and more can be downloaded on. Yes, you can easily jump pages by using "Go To Page" or by holding the page turn button down for three seconds to jump ten pages. You cannot customize the six buttons but they do almost everything you would want already in one-touch buttons. The Mentor Lite screen is E-Ink and very white. What is a D-Ring? It has 20 formats including FB2. My blog is a valuable resource that people just do not use. I have 39 members and that is all. I hope you will sign up as a follower. |

Thanks Robert. I did check out your blog, and saw this post: http://robertbez.blogspot.com/2009/0...version-2.html , but it didn't answer all my specific questions about the firmware.
Good to hear that we can install our own fonts. That is a major plus! Also good to know there's a 'go to page' function. I understand the background of the screen is quite light, but what I'd read is that, in rendering epubs, the text is a lighter shade of gray than it could be. Do you know if that's true? By "D ring", I meant the navigation ring. I think I found the answer to my question on another forum. Sounds like in landscape mode, that ring is in the bottom left corner, right? What might be great on your blog is more screen shots of the various navigation menus, etc., for the Mentor Lite. That's the kind of detail I'd love to see before purchasing. Thanks! |

I only know that what we showed on display at CES was EPUB files and the screen was very light while the text was very dark. The contrast was excellent to all who saw it. You certainly will have no problem in reading on it. |

I tried and could not find a way to add more fonts, the user manual does not say you can add new fonts. The screen looks great but the built-in Chinese font is ugly - if only I can combine the power of PP and the screen of Mentor!
