But what are the problems? Do you know of any video or pictures of the Play book or Kindle app running on these ereader?
I'm totally new to it. I only saw the Kindle personally, no other. I always read on the phone, so I have some books I bought and PDF in the Play Book, now I wanted something better to see if I start reading more and so many doubts on which device to buy. |
My experience of the apps on my Pro HD has been:
Kindle App - unstable, slow to load, no mapping to page turn buttons, no screen refresh, fonts look quite pale and page tune ghosting gradually makes this worse (I found I had to force manual refresh every couple of pages). As JSWolf has pointed out in other postings, the latest versions of the Kindle App require Android 5+ whereas you be using Android 4.2 and, therefore, an older version of the app (this may be important to you).
Play Books App - slow in navigating around, page turn buttons only worked if I had 3d page turning on, but that makes page turning quite slow, no screen refresh (I forced manual refresh every 6 pages), as each page is turned the left hand margin moved further and further left, text is less "greyed" than on Kindle but not as strong as eink optimised reading apps.
I cannot comment on PDFs because I now avoid reading PDFs on an eink reader.
