I. personally, do not like the margins at the lowest setting which are too WIDE! Also, my Sharp Zaurus C3200 with FBReader has very adjustable margins, a screen which is easy on the eyes for reading with nice dark fonts, a screen that can be adjusted to low light and no glare....totally a superior screen and a superior reading experience in bed at night or in daylight in a car and weighs..I dunno 7 oz. or something, it's less than the size of a cigarette case and does everything the Kindle Fire does with FREE apps.
The batteries for the Z are expensive and don't last but 4 hours or so when new though...so it does have its faults which is why I got a Kindle Fire.
So it is NOT TRUE that a backlit screen cannot be a great reading experience both in low light and medium light conditions.
My Zaurus is around 7 years old!!! So what's up with this failure in technology...c'mon, Amazon, you can do better than this!
