As a matter of curiosity, I assume left and right presses of the little box at the bottom of the device change pages. How does that 'feel' compare to the two sets of controls on the Sony reader?

What's up with that tinny vertical blank line in the middle of the screen?

It's a hardware fault on Derek's reader. (Probably) one of the perils of getting an early engineering prototype.

Actually, the navigation control uses the Left/Top edges to move back and the Right/Bottom edges to move forward. The center button acts as the Enter button and, while in the ebook, also brings up the contextual menu. Of course, one could always use the 'Contextual Menu' button along the left edge of the Cybook. (I've got them posted in one of the threads here.) Derek |

Derek be careful, remember it takes 2.5mm headphones not 3.5 mm. Look in the cellphone isle.

I've seen the newest version of the firmware and it offers the menu options to:
Fit Page Fit Width Fit Height Portrait Landscape Flipped (Yes, it flips the page top for bottom.) Go To... (uses the same Go To as regular ebooks on the Cybook) Show Status Bar (Shows the PDF title, page of and page count and how much the 'Fit' options have 'zoomed' the page - no way to zoom.) Advanced... (standard 'Advanced' menu - no zoom/pan controls) Back to Library And if the document is a standard letter/A4 page using typical printed font sizes, it looks crappy in Portrait and barely readable in Landscape.

Thanks, Derek. Pretty soon we won't need your review because you have already told us everything about the Cybook...

Thanks Derek!
Does that mean that you can go into landscape mode and "fit width" to make an A4/Letter sized PDF more readable? |
