Experienced with e-reader, need a new one.
Hello
Since more then 3 years, I use an ebook-reader, and I love it. But it is slow, compared to modern readers. And recently, I found more and more problems, like: when I press a button, it doesn't react like it it in the past. Sometimes, I have to press the button twice. (and this is not only with one button, but with a few of them, even the one I never use often). By the way, my old e-reader was the Bebook One
Well, here is what I need.
First of all: I don't need a touchscreen, but I guess nowadays, most e-readers have one.
The most important file format for me is epub, but the more it supports, the better. (but as you may have already realized: no Kindle)
I can connect my current e-reader to a computer and use it like another drive. I can create or delete the folders and move the files in and out. I don't like it when I need to use a software like itunes or something like that. So I want exactly the same. And I want to use folders - lots of them. Right now I have folders like: youth books --> classics --> Jules Verne ....
Another thing that really concerns me: I once downloaded an epub reader to my smartphone and uploaded an epub that I created. All the formatting was gone. All the justified style, center style, all that stuff was gone (even though my epub file was valid). You should expect that a full e-reader does it better, but you never know nowadays ...
What is also very important: I want a reader with card-reader. So if for some reasons, the e-reader breaks, I still have access to the ebooks. And it wouldn't be bad if the battery can be changed, in case it breaks.
Of course, I already looked at some of the current e-readers. A german computer magazine recently tested 8 e-readers, and the winner of the test was the Pocketbook Touch. The runner-up was the Sony PRS-T1, the 3rd place was the Kobo ereader touch edition.
Do you think one of this (especially the Pocketbook) would be a good device for me?
Thanks in advance.
