Dear all,
I am interested in buying an Onyx Nova Pro and wanted to ask for help in answering some questions about it. I have been using Kindles so far and recently bought a Kobo Forma. But I will sell the Forma because of the PWM dimming and now look for a good 8” alternative. A real must for me is the ability to lend from the local libraries (that use overdrive).
The Onyx Nova Pro seemingly ticks all boxes and is available here for a decent enough price. But return policies are awful so I want to make sure on some key items before taking the plunge (being burned by the Forma that I now have to sell at a loss).
- Since I return the Forma due to the PWM dimming: did anyone confirm that the Onyx Nova Pro does not use PWM to dim the light?
- How is the manufacturer’s track record in terms of quality consistency? Do I have a decent chance of getting a good screen at the first shot?
- How is the Overdrive app when reading books in terms of UI, general look & feel, fonts options, dictionary integration...? I know that it should work, but is it actually a good & full solution?
- A review on blog.the-ebook-reader.com mentioned that the Nova Pro would not support Adobe DRM anymore? I hoped that I could use my desktop PC with Adobe Digital Editions to transfer library books to the reader and then read them with e.g. neoreader or koreader (hopefully giving me the best reading experience vs. non-optimised apps like overdrive).
Please excuse the many question. After some research I couldn’t really find answers.
Thanks & cheers
