I thought it was very nice, very small and a nice shape. I was afraid the screen would be too small but it's actually only slightly less wide than the cybook's (and somewhat less high), so the length of a reading line is still good. It also supports automatic switching from portrait to landscape mode.
It does not support mobi, but epub (and html and txt and pdf? not sure about that). |
I agree: special kudos to
- choice of orientation (accelerometer, there we are!) : you can hold it in portrait or landscape mode as Chlorine mentions, and also right-handed or left-handed (thanks for them),
- two well thought-out buttons on the side of the screen to flip pages,
- a menu button & a back button on either side of the familiar, central four ways selector we all know and love
- 1 Go memory!
Minor gripe : they had to switch to micro-SD.
