Yes, I am worried about about really small speech bubbles, but I've found that translated manga uses a very suitable text size. I think attempting to read an American based comic might be a lot...

I actually had the exact same problem and I wish I knew what fixed it, but I'm not sure. I use gentoo and typically make my own ebuild for calibre since the repository is sometimes slow at updating...

I've had a similar problem with one of my computers. It essentially happens to every device that also tries to charge off the computer. I suspect that it has to do with the power those ports are...

That's very interesting. I haven't seen it on my PRS-600, but I have always been at least slightly in the shade while reading. Out of curiosity, does the same thing happen if you were to hold a...

If you are happy with the reader and just upset about the battery being defective, you could always try purchasing just the battery. It's really much easier to change than you might think. When I...
