I may have said something like that, see
EZ Reader: Initial Impression. Since then I have discovered how easy it is to make scans of the device using my HP all in one printer. So see
BeBook font sizes and types for scans of MOBI and FB2 ebooks on the EZ Reader, and
post #1252 for scans of a PDF (formatted for the screen). These are all examples of the Hanlin at its best. Let me know if you have a particular format or particular ebook you would like to see Hanlin screen scans for.
One of the advantages of the Hanlin V3 is that you can use OpenInkPot's entirely independent firmware on it. This is the only firmware that does not support MOBI DRM, but it does support a wide range of DRM-free formats with a relatively consistent level of quality (via FBReader). The latest OI snapshot even includes Cool Reader 3, which is used by the standard Hanlin firmware for some DRM-free formats, so you can choose FBReader or CR3 on a book by book basis, see
