ebook for rss, manga, and battery life ?
Hello,
I'm the current owner of a bebook under openinkpot which work quite well. What I really appreciate in OI is the ability to leave it on and go back several hours later with no impact on the battery. Now I can't imagine having to put it to sleep each time I have to interupt my reading ! Is this feature common now on other device ? I could'nt find much information on it ? Why would I want to change me ereader ? Well ....When I read about the new kindle 3g+wifi, I was thinking that it would be great to be able to get rss feed on the go - from anywhere. Currently I'm not reading RSS feeds on my ereader, because I think it is too a hassle to fetch them, create, remove the SD card, copy, put back ...everytime I want to read news. Reading them on the pc is faster. But ....if used over 3g, that would be much confortable. (http://fr.feedbooks.com/news) Wifi could be a solution too ...but only when at home ... Unfortunaly Im in France .....so ....no whispernet ! So I guess I'll go wi-fi ! The last main use (apart from classic reading - mainly old essay) would be manga reading, but I guess that it should be better than my 4greyscale bebook ! But a very interresting feature is the display of % of reading for each book when browsing among the books. It allows to know at which book you have stopped ! Does that exist on other OS ? So the main point im looking are : Battery life (including stop and go without manuel sleep buton) wifi (3g?) Epub would have been a "plus" The device I was interrested in was the kindle 3 as you would have guessed, but there are a lot of ereader with wi-fi now .....and I could have any information on the power management policies ! I'm open to any comment regarding that use (or even suggestion for a "better use" ) Last edited by allw; 09-01-2010 at 02:22 AM. |
