After a long journey (multiple Sony and Amazon devices, android tablets), I’ve come to the realization that one of the best ereaders was there all along – Microsoft Word. One of the best features is macros / VBA, so you can have a complex set of adjustments to any document to fine tweak them to look just how you want them (font, line spacing, indent, spacing between characters, etc). I’m not saying that other programs don’t have similar functionality, but with Word I can get it just right, everytime. It has a “Read Mode” that changes the functionality from a Word Processor to ereading software. I have a 13.3 inch Lenovo with an anti-glare IPS screen where the text is very sharp and it makes ereading very easy on the eyes (not to mention Windows 10 has great amber light control built in with Night Mode). Anyone else using Word for ereading?
