Why can't all new e-readers just mysteriously appear on my doorstep. |
I find it extremely hard to resist this time although I have a perfect PW1 (not PW2) The screen of H2O from what I saw, even unlit, was much whiter, letters more black and very sharp. I also have K3 in excellent condition and Cybook Opus. That would be 3 unused ereaders in my cupboard if I buy H2O. But I have come to realise I'm tired with such limited choice of fonts Amazon offers (and what with this "personal" on my covers anyway). I keep old firmware and backdoor lock on my PW1 so I still have use alt fonts and Charis on it. But why do I have to go through hoops - if I order Voyage it will be the same. I never had an ereader with Carta screen yet either and I was impressed with clarity. I didn't see much though because the H2O was not set up in the shop. But it was lovely.
The first ereader I really LOVED was Opus but now page turns are really slow in comparison and screen is murky (although it too is in excellent condition). I have a big sentiment for it while K3 I never really liked. PW is all right but it never was my prrreciousss
I have a feeling H2O will be the ereader to love. Come next Tuesday night (I'm home every Wednesday so I can receive parcels) I'll have to be tough...
