The Kogan is a good little unit. (Available in Australia only afaik). There's a few little annoyances, but the important things (good screen, many formats) are all good. But the Sony is much better; Touch screen is wonderful - it responds to the lightest of touches; build quality is exceptional, and page turns are really fast.
Only thing is I found myself going from a Sans font on the Kogan which I have got used to, to a Serif on the Sony. I'm surprised how annoying I found this... So now I've just given myself a crash course in epub editing and setting up custom fonts, entirely thanks to these forums! And now it's all good - I can make these books look however I want! Very pleased with myself!
So.. Thanks! and Hi. I'll probably hang around here a bit - you seem a nice bunch of folks. |
Hi, and welcome to MobileRead..
I also have a Kogan, but I have no end of trouble with ADE... I were going to buy a Sony 650, but since ADE is giving me so much grief, I might just stay away from it.
