I think PF4Mobile is just trolling...

PF4Mobile:
You've had SOME valid arguments, but most of your conversation seems to be based on always wanting to be right in every detail, often with details that are off topic!

Though many of your arguments are not thoroughly based on facts, or valid evidence, but based on reviews; which is ok, but you're basically telling the guys who DO own a device like this, that they are wrong in their reviews in some of your points.


So far I've heard nothing but praise for the JBC from those who own it, and the only real issues are that the background isn't as white as hoped for (which does not make it unusable or in most cases might still be very readable).
In fact, those who own it, merely mention it, they don't seem to make it a big of an issue as some who don't have it.
In fact, I've seen a reviewer compare the background to 'news paper-grey'; so if you can read newspapers, you can read JBC (even in low light); but more on that once I receive mine.

The other is that some people complain about the slowness of turning pages. It seems a common denominator for all e-ink devices that page flips go slower than LCD, especially on larger (+9")screens. But in my experience, any page flip shorter than 2 seconds is not slow at all! You can easily click next page, while you're finishing the last 3 to 5 words of a sentence, and before your eyes are focused at the top of the page again, the page would have flipped. Something you learn getting used to over time.
What would be slightly annoying is if one page takes a second to load, while another takes 4 seconds to load! Then you'd think the device hasn't registered your page flip,and click again, only to see the device doing 2 pageflips. This in combination with the next issue: unresponsiveness of the stylus could be a slightly annoying issue!

The unresponsiveness of the stylus is a negative, together with having only 1 stylus, and not being able to use your finger.

Anyone knows if there exist aftermarket styluses out there to replace this one with (in case you lose yours)?

So the stylus, and missing CBR/CBZ support, as well as a missing browser/wifi connection are cons.
Perhaps the first can be improved upon by newer firmware, the second would be great to have in an additional firmware (Comic Book Reader soft),the last is almost guaranteed to have a FW update on it!
