With Play Books, I tried two books with 30-40 page chapters. I haven't been able to produce the margin problem you speak of. I'll let you know if it happens.

Although both these apps are usable on the T63, I still prefer Moon Reader or KOReader. They load in half the time, the physical page turn buttons work, and there is almost no hesitation on page turns. But, if you don't mind the wait on startup, and a shorter wait when you select a book, both Kindle and Play Books work pretty well on the T63. It depends on how patient you want to be. If the wait is a problem for you, then you might as well not go there! (Life brings plenty of anxieties as it is.)

As for Onyx, I don't blame you for not wanting to go there. I had a bad experience with my T68 as well. However, the C67 I got some time after that was much better. Still, it's like rolling dice.
Thanks. I forgot to ask if there were page refreshes for Kindle and Play Books. Since you said that Moon+ had them, I'm assuming these did too.

You're making things difficult for me here. I just bought one of the new HD 8 tablets, and I also bought a Huawei MediaPad M3 that I haven't opened yet. The LTE version has been rooted, but I don't know about the WiFi only version. It also only has 2.4 ghz wifi only. That's possibly only because it didn't go through the FCC and it will be modded to have it.

So should I just keep up the gadget buying spree?
