The real crazy ones are when you get books like when they issued the old Start Wars books again and not only included a multi meg cover image, but 5 or six more multi meg covers at the end of the book to preface each of the excerpts there. Last edited by AnemicOak; 04-15-2013 at 10:50 PM. |

Those oddities and the lack of diacritical support were the reason I created my font tester epub file. See the 2.4.0 bugs thread for a download link for the file: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=205931&page=6 Regards, David |

Well I would certainly buy the Aura for myself if I didn't already have a Glo. But my Mum might be tempted to replace her T1 if the lighting is as good as the Glo's.

The specs on the Aura is mouth-watering, but I will hold off buying one for now due to a few factors:
1) I recently bought a Kobo Glo about a month ago 2) Aura Software stability is unknown 3) Aura Hardware durability is unknown |

Aura software is around 95% exactly the same as touch/glo/mini. Still running nickel... sigh

Woohoo, my wish came true! The over-6" market (such as it is?) has gone unfulfilled for years.

From the pictures it looks like the shape of the Aura's back is asymetrical, so a different grip depending on whether you hold it left or right handed?

Interesting. Looking at the photos of the ends, the bottom looks symmetrical, but the top isn't. That sort of makes sense for holding it. Most people would hold it one handed near the bottom, so holding it in the left or right hand wouldn't to much different.
As to the shape of the back, my first thought was "weird". But, when I look at the photos of people holding it, I think that wide channel will make for a comfortable and safe grip. |
