What a nice device the Era is. Good build quality, very nice buttons, the device feels good in the hand. But ... Must there always be a but? *sigh*
My Era has a noticable horizontal gradient. I still try to figure out if it bothers me enough to return the device. I know one can adapt to this, but honestly I don't want to. You can't really see it in the photo, but it's there.
The next thing I dislike are the artifacts of the previous pages. They are already visible, if only slightly, after one page turn.
The G-Sensor is a nightmare. One time it works, the next time it freezes in one position. I disabled it, because it was so annoying.
On the good side, page turns with the buttons are very fast. Night mode is possible if you use KoReader. The contrast is also good, but you have to put two devices next to each other to see the benefits of Carta1200.
Overall this could be my favourite device, if only the lighting was better.
I will spend the rest of the evening with Mr. Steve Hackett on his Seconds Out Tour, I'm sure that will lift my mood.
