Hi!
I was recommended this forum yesterday and decided to take a look around. I'm in Sweden and I'm fairly new to e-books... the whole ''I want the smell of paper'' deal, you probably know. I can barely stand reading on a screen, although I've been forced to do that with some schoolwork..
But I'm curious, and heard about e-readers and how e-ink was different.. and it IS very practical to be able to recieve a book instantly after purchase..and they're usually cheaper too.. Not to mention all free first books in a series which allows me a nice sample read before actually buying the rest of the books..
so about 1,5-2 months ago I ordered a Letto Frontlight, which as far as I understand is the same thing as the cybook muse frontlight but sold under a swedish book shop. I'm on my 20th book on it now and yes.. it's not like reading on the computer at all.
I'm very happy. I've changed the font size and settings so it feels more like a pocket book, and what little shadowing that comes just adds to that feel of thin papers
(the refreshing black screens every 6th turn bothered me so I turned that off completely.)
I havn't had any issue with it at all untill yesterday when an ePub file I had bought lacked paragraphing, the whole book was a wall of text.. the pdf file looked ok, but I couldn't find any reflow function so it wasn't readable on the small screen. Anyway, I complained, got my money back and bought it from another place, so now it works. But this was the reason I was recommended this forum, so I figured you'd like to know
