Did you have to get used to an LCD?

jhempel24 · 10-30-2010, 07:02 AM

I just bought the Cruz, and so far, after loading the custom firmware, it's actually really really good, even access to the full android market etc.

The problem I'm having, is that I am finding I am tiring really easily when reading. So my question is will this go away? Will I get used to it? This is a pretty neat device, and I would love to use it, but I don't want to carry around two devices, and if it's something that will go away, then I may keep it.

I have never had any problems reading off of lcd screens, I think with a little time, you will probably adjust just fine.

I would appreciate an in depth review of your Cruz reader when you have a chance.

I ended up returning it. The Wi-Fi on it was terrible, book reading was horrible (because I don't like LCD, it really really hurt my eyes after about 15 minutes.)

Well done.
