I am not weighing in on the truth of that--I have no idea. I do know that the page turns on my Aura are much faster and it took less than a minute to process/add the 60+ books on my SD card into the Aura Db when I moved the card from the Glo to the Aura. That is a huge improvement in speed.

I have't noticed what I call ghosting, but I have noticed that the grey bands that can appear behind a line of text seem more noticeable under some conditions. Using the light and adjusting for ambient light conditions along with font tuning seems to take care of that. I do 90% of my reading at home in my bedroom under fairly consistent conditions. Once I tuned in for this, I was good to go. I am sure I will learn what works for me outdoors, in my office, etc. as i use the Aura some more.

A folder is a dumbed down name for what a directory is. Directories don't actually contain the files within them; they are merely lists useful for organizing files. The same file can be named in multiple lists. Directories can be named in multiple other directories. There is no "physical" limitation in the way you have with actual paper files in actual paper folders. For most people, the limited interpretation is all they need, but that view of things is not the same as the full one. So, is a "folder" the same as a "directory"? It depends on whether you view the names in terms of filesystems or whether you include the physical caricatures of them. It's all about the semantics!

I don't believe I was referring to you but if you have taken offense I apologize. That said, people who want physical page buttons are pretty much out of luck this generation. Blame Steve Jobs for making buttons unfashionable.

I'm in the physical page-turn crowd. How am I supposed to remove dust from my screen while reading? Guess I'll have to turn the reader off, remove the dust, and turn it back on. Not nearly as convenient as my Kindle 4 NT. |

It can be confusing to someone who hasn't experienced it personally. Whereas it takes less pressure to use a touchscreen you need dexterity to use them and when you hands/fingers cease up you don't have that. So it's easier, and less painful, to simply exert pressure with the side of your hand or the side of the frozen fingers. Most of the time it's less strength needed to use a touchscreen but sometimes my hands are useless for that and so I keep my Kindle 3 on standby for those days when I literally can't bend my fingers enough to use my touchscreen readers. Hopefully I haven't confused you, I'm trying to explain it and probably mucked it totally up. Everyone's arthritis affects them differently but I know that's how it goes for mine making buttons easier than touchscreens on occassions. Last edited by lioslaith; 04-25-2013 at 06:13 AM. |
