So, I really do not want to digress

, but basically I like the T68. A lot.

I have been using the Calibre Companion for some months now and it works really well on the T68 in combination with the various apps.

Now, the T68 is not your basic Kindle, and you cannot expect to have it doing everything you want immediately out of the box. But if you are, like me an some of us here, happy to invest some time (let's not go into the definition of time-money-value-chocolate again please) and have some knowledge of Android, then the T68 is a nifty reader. Don't get me wrong, its reader functions are good, and you can use it as is without having to do anything, but with the added apps here and there it is almost brilliant.

Almost because I believe there is room for improvement in terms of FW (the screen sensitivity still could be improved a bit, and the basic library function could be so much better if it showed shelves) and the design, although much better then the Aura HD, is a tad "Duh". I would love to see another version using a stylus, but I am a stylus freak anyway.

I am now considering to M96 or not to M96 (that would be used professionnally though) in addition to the T68, which is definitely a keeper.
