The latest firmware has made the page turns on my EzReader (6") seem to be even faster and the one thing that was irriating about the older firmware is gone and that is the having to hit the 0 for the page forward serveral times for it to works is now a thing of the past.

Still have work to do but
Quote:
The factory is listening and I get a feeling from most com ments in many threads that the Firmware Upgrade helped a lot in many ways. It seems to be going over well on the whole. We still have work to do. I keep hearing that once you take a hyperlink that returning may not be smooth. I will bring that up. I also hear that the present font percentage sizes helped (100%. 200%, 250%, 300%, 350%) but it might have been nicer to have a 150%. |

Frankly, I would be amazed if there was anybody who didn't think the first zoom level was way too small to be of any use. What might be ideal is if we could set the base font size in settings, and then move through something like 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300% within the reader. I really like the less intrusive page numbers, and I can see the search being very handy. ETA: I love that you guys are so responsive. That makes me feel that much better about my purchase. |

A very unscientific estimate (done with a stopwatch in one hand and my reader in the other) puts it at about 1.1 seconds (when turning pages normally instead of doing it as fast as you can). Most of that (~.9 seconds) is the screen flashing to black and back and is the normal speed of the Epson controller, so it can't be "fixed". The other part is the very slight wait between pressing the button and the start of the screen refresh. It takes at least .75 seconds for my eyes to refocus back at the top right of the screen, so it's perfectly acceptable to me.

I just check the page turn speed for one of my pbooks. It was a little over 1 second.
Kennyc, make sure you're looking at www.theezreader.com and not www.theezreader.com/html. The look a lot alike but the www.theezreader.com/html does only have data for the 6". Robert, y'all need to clean up your site to avoid confusion. |

They definitely need to clean up a few things (like that) on the site. |

That said, I highly recommend 7-Zip. It is free, open source software that supports ZIP, RAR, ISO and their on 7z format. http://www.7-zip.org/ The only downside is it is Windows only... wish they would port it to Mac too. BOb Last edited by pilotbob; 09-11-2009 at 10:45 AM. |

I now swear by 7-zip. Great thing about it is that it integrates with your system menu and it a very small plugin. right-click the file, choose Extract To Here, and it extracts the file in it's current directory, no needing to actually open up the program. |
