Hi, I would love to ask some opinion about choosing one between 2 ebook reader. I know it’s been asked a lot.
I’m a newbie in this thing. And I live in Asia by the way.
I'm gonna use the reader to read Fiction Books (Novels).
So the choice would be either Cybook Gen3 or Hanlin V3
1. The thing that I like about Cybook is the Dictionary Lookup feature.
Which makes me wonder is it gonna be provided in Hanlin soon? I mean, is “Dictionary Lookup” something that can be solved with just the firmware upgrade? Or is it from the hardware inside the ebook reader itself??
2. I own a Mac. Cybook Gen3 is fine with Mac I hear. What about Hanlin V3?? I can’t find the mac-compatible statement in the website. At least the USB must be ok to connected to Mac for charging the device. Anyone?
3. I hear that Cybook Gen3 using a Mobipocket format. Which means if I buy an ebook from any website it’ll be the mobipocket (PRC) one right? What about Hanlin V3?? Which format should I buy if I own Hanlin?? Hanlin’s not supporting mobipocket (PRC) right? But will it?
4. If I own either Cybook or Hanlin, can I buy an ebook from a website (preferably only using Mac, but if still can’t then okay I’ll use the windows) and I want that ebook I buy can be read either in my reader, or in computer, or in PDA. I don’t want an ebook which is only stuck in a reader. Can I do that ?? (I don’t know whether it means the DRM thing they talk about so much here, don’t really get it yet, sorry).
And is there any specific ebook store that is easiest for Mac User?
5. I will use the ebook reader to read and buy fiction books (novels). And right now I own Lit, Html, Txt, Rtf, and some Prc (Lit and Html the most). So, which one?
6. I’m so confused between this both. Cybook Gen3 is looking “more expensive” and better thing on the eye, and I love the Dictionary Lookup support.
But Hanlin I hear support more formats (is it true Hanlin will support Lit too?). So, please, help me…
Sorry for the too-many-questions
Thanks
