How does this function as a reader? cause I can put up with a lot for under $100  |
The Shelves application (for non-DRM'd epub books) has a page animation when you flip, but other than that, it's pretty bare-bones. Not bad, for what it is, though. I like the Kindle app, but prefer my actual Kindle (except at night, of course
).
The one I've had the worst experience with is the Nook software. It's about as stable as a house of cards in a wind tunnel (for me, at least).
Physically, I think the device is a good size to read. Roughly the same size as my Kindle, and only a smidge heavier.
I haven't tried it outside yet, so I can't tell you how well it does in direct sunlight, but the brightness is adjustable, so if you need to, you can crank it up.
For the price, you could certainly do worse for a reader -- especially since you can do so many other things with this one.
