My T68 (ordered from Arta-Tech in Poland last weekend) arrived today. I wanted it mainly to read Oyster Books and Kindle books on the same e-ink reader. Here are a few initial observations:
- Oyster reader: Works pretty well and the rendered page looks great. There is a slight flash during page turns where the new page appears briefly, shows a blank page, then displays the new page (again). It's pretty quick and I can live with it.
- Kindle app: I first installed the Kindle app from Google play store. I don't know if it's my huge library (I pick up alot of free books) or the size of my audible library, but the newest kindle app wasn't very well-behaved (for me). I did a google search and found (then installed) Kindle app 4.2.0.101 and it's working great.
- Case: The port cutouts don't match the T68, but I have an old Kindle Fire (edited to correct: I believe it's actually Kindle HD 7") case that fits the T68 well. I wouldn't mind getting a case specifically made for the T68 but this will protect it in my handbag until then.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the T68. The hardware is good quality and I was happy to learn the o-ring around the button on the front works as a page forward/back controller for the kindle app. (It doesn't work quite as well with the Oyster app, but the touch screen turns work fine.)
