conversion

Barnes and Noble actually bought Fictionwise which is Ebookwises parent company, I believe Ebookwise was included in the deal?

I think most of us that use a EB1150 simply convert our books. I normally buy .lit format, .mobi or .pdf if I can't possibly get it in .lit.

The screen quality is low I agree, but do you really need a fabulous one for simple text? Though I do admit that the e-ink screens are much clearer.

I have to say I think its ergonomics are superior to anything else I have seen. Perhaps the Pocketbook 360 will come close? I have not used an Opus I am not sure how well it compares but the buttons on the side look small.


It seems that as long as a person did their research ahead of time on the limitations of the EB1150 that they are happy with their purchase of one.
