So due to my long nail, I cannot press the centre button on my Opus. Furthermore, all the buttons require a fair bit of pressure to press; this does not make reading effortless on the Opus.
 And because the buttons are such b**ch to press, reading PDF is impossible. Even PDF books loaned from my city elibrary. Zoom in too much, I have to scroll around, and the buttons just ain't helping. I think I will stick to ePub format (but a lot of my library's ebooks are in PDF!)
 I am happy with the screen; compared to Sony PRS600, it is a lot less reflective and works very well with my Ikea bedside lamp; tilt it to the right angle and it is paper-like.
 I like the cover it came with; it is commendable that hard boards are in place in the cover so it protects the screen from pin pressure. I also like how lightweight this device is! Easy to hold and carry around. |
Seems to me that you may benefit from using a sewing thimble .....
