Thanks Slayda
I didn't realize that the OI firmware can be loaded directly from the SD card without having to flash the device. That is a HUGE advantage ! This tilts the scale quite a bit towards the Hanlin devices.
Your explanation of the difficulty with how the PDF was created makes perfect sense. Most of the PDF books I have seen so far allows me to copy-paste texts from them, so I am assuming they are basically formatted texts and not images (of text). But I will play with Mobicreator some to see how it works.
By the way, I have been reading some issues with the Mobi font support on the Hanlin devices. Even with the latest firmware, the smallest font size for Mobi books is still too big. Do you have any experience with this ?
You also gave me a great idea about possibly buying a K1 for cheap just so I can buy the books from Kindle store, and then buy a Hanlin device to read them on
I just might do that if I can pick up a K1 for cheap (hopefully more people will migrate to the K2 and at least some will dump the K1 at a reasonable price).
Does Amazon's terms of service prevent reading a Kindle content on another device ? It will be really sad if they did, but this is one of those cases where I don't mind converting the content I bought anyway even if Amazon doesn't want me to, since this is a perfect example of "fair use".
