It is most definitely, completely and irrevocably dead.

This is symptomatic of a cracked screen substrate. The only fix is to replace the screen.

I'm intrigued to know why you think that Amazon is bad for readers. My view would be completely the opposite.

I recieved a reply from Goodreads stating that they recognised this as a bug.

I still can't authorise (not even in the ways described above) but it looks like Goodreads are on to it.

I'm having the same problem with authorisation. Goodreads does not respond as it should to the oauth request. I've contacted support at Goodreads. I'll let you know what they say.

I think that's a safe and sensible assumption to make.

These hacks are a pain in there backside but at least it's making people think about security.

I'm looking forward to having a play with it. I like the X-Ray function but I often find that the information on Shelfari is lacking. I wish it would work with Goodreads.

Hmmm. Harry suggests that up to a quarter of the lines on a page would be like that but mine keeps an even edge up to the largest font size - then I get the weird spacing. Again, it might not be...

Dunno. There aren't any raggedy lines on mine. I do have some hacks installed though so it probably isn't a typical example. Anyway - yes, I am quite sensitive to ragged right.

Do you mean books from the kindle store? I don't buy them. I convert my books in Calibre.

Completely agree with the post above. I can't read a book without full justification. I don't notice the problems with hyphenation and spacing that others do.

I would definitely buy a Lenovo Chromebook. I rarely use any programs that won't work in a browser and so long as I can open an SSH session, i'm happy.

I think it's great - even just as a reference point for what a cover shouldn't be. I don't really care if he uses it to advertise his own services. It's his site - and clearly his services are needed!

I completely agree with the above. I reluctantly stopped buying Sony devices because of this. And their telephone tech support (the ereader division anyway) is abysmal.
