hello everybody and happy holidays,
this being my first post i'd like to first say that this forum is very helpful to guys like me..i usually can't contribute much but the wealth of info on these forums let's me find out a lot about my devices.
I am from europe and bought it via
www.astak.com
with costums included i paid around 200 euros, so to me it's the same price as the bebook mini but with cover included.
I own a pocketpro since the beginning of december and so far came to this conclusions:
I like the size, weight, color and the fact that is has a cover included.
i like using calibre and download some newspapers when i have the time and there's internet in the hotel (suprised at how long it takes to get a 2mb newspaper onto my device though)
considering the layout of the pocketpro i'm not that happy..i usually hold it with my right hand at the right side to read and i wish there was a bottom to flip pages rightabout where my thumb is...so these middle buttons on the left could have rather be on the right for me.
All in all i'm very happy but wondering how i would have felt with a pocketbook 360...
i still haven't found the "perfect" font and the converting of txt to epub doesn't go that well..a lot of line breaks and single words on one line and then on to the next (if you know what i mean).
maybe this is all a matter of setup in which i have no experience whatsoever..i read about recipes and other jargon which leaves me clueless.
my girlfriend wants an ebook now of course and i'm tending to recommend the sony 600 to her.. she needs it to study at the university of vienna and the will need the dictionary a lot. with the 600 she can select the word and the dictionary entry is displayed at the bottom.
can you give me tips about what font to use, how i can better convert txt to a more readable format and maybe even a different option that would be better for my girl.
As i said before, we live in Austria so a device with wireless (except wifi) is not nessesary.
Thanks,
sambucca
