I've been looking at the new e-ink ebook readers for a while as well as the jetbook reader. I want something I can read in sunlight. Portability would be nice--small in size and weight.
I have tons of books in lit and html format. The html are non-drm. The lit files are mixed--although I just realized it might be possible to remove the drm. So if the new machine could read either lit or html without conversion in a decent format, that would be great. I organize these file and all the imp files from my legacy devices in the Calibre software on the mac.
(I work on a mac machine, although I also have access to a pc.)
The feature that is MOST important to me and hardest to figure out from photos is that it must be usable with just the left hand--either by rotating the screen or having the page turn buttons on the left. (I have a really hard time using my right hand at all.)
I like the ease of use Kindle offers--but I have all these wonderful files already and don't want to email them all to convert.
The cool-er ebook readers look pretty and light but offer no html support.
The jetbook is about the right size and has good file structure support, but the side bar buttons look complicated and again, no html support. Plus I'm not sure about paying that much for a tft screen.
Please help me sort this out. Today I'm thinking Astak EZ reader or Bebook because they support both html and lit. But how good is that support? Can the Astak EZ reader be held and page flipped left-handed? Would it be better to just convert my files and get something else?
So confused...The more readers I look at the more confused I am. I guess I just want them all!
Thanks for any advice on this.
