I love the large screen. Contrast is nice and the light is very even. I also appreciate the warm light at night.
As I've mentioned upthread, the built-in reading app is frustrating in the way it handles punctuation - breaking apart contractions with a space or a line break, for example.
I switched to using Alreader as the reading app for a while, but gave it up when I found that some of the sub menus (like when I hightlighted a word in order to copy it) were completely dark and unreadable.
Then I switched back to the Boyue reading app, and I like how straight-forward and stable it is... but the punctuation thing really bothers me.
Now I'm thinking of trying FBReader, which is what the Boyue reading app on the T62+ was based on - and it was flawless and handled punctuation perfectly.
Reading Positives:
- Large screen - lots of text
- Good contrast and great lighting
- Warm light option
- Buttons! Home, Back, and page turn buttons!
- Snappy performance
- Nice battery life, considering the large screen.
Reading Negatives:
- Boyue reading app's poor handling of punctuation.
- Weight - it's a little heavier than I'm used to due to size
- Dictionary - works okay, but I would like to change the font size in pop-up definition window - or at least make the font bold. I would also like to have it show results from more than one dictionary and I would like to be able to make the pop up window larger so I don't have to scroll as much.
