CBZ. I’ll be testing kepub manga next. I have some PDF comics, too that I could try. The manga looked gorgeous, btw. I was just surprised how sluggish the page turning was.
I’ve been reading and utilizing the notes feature. I already posted in another thread that the annotations don’t sync, not even highlighted text. That may have been broken in the last firmware update, not this one. Current page location isn’t synced anymore either. I’m sure they’ll fix it in an update.
I’ve created three notebooks to test. One is a smart notebook with handwriting recognition. The other is a simple notebook with no character recognition. The third is also simple, but I’ve made the background blank—no grid or lines. I plan on making it a sketch journal. Then I’ll try to share them.
I love how I can just annotate with the stylus on any book I’m reading. I wish the notes could sync, but Kobo has always struggled with annotation syncing. The past year’s success was an aberration. LOL.
It really is a gorgeous device. Re: the weight. It’s about as heavy as an iPad. It’s a solid piece of kit. It is NOT designed for leisurely reading. It’s a workhorse. Sturdy construction, high caliber book cover. Everything has heft. Where this is a plus is when I’m working on it. All that weight makes it feel like a professional editing tool. Yes, you can read leisurely on it, but that’s not what it’s designed for.
As much fun as a color eReader would have been, I tip my hat to Kobo for leveraging their IP to create a new product category, especially at the end of a Pandemic.
