I've been without an ebook reader since I sold my PRS-505. One of the main reasons I got rid of it was ergonomics. I hated the right side page turn buttons.
So, between my choices, cost is not a big issue. Battery life is not an issue. DRM choice is not an issue.
What I do care about is screen quality, page turning ergonomics, HTML support, and general reliability.
JBL: I've looked at pictures and can't tell if I will like the screen more or less than eInk. I've read some complaints about it requiring careful positioning to avoid uneven lighting/contrast. However, some people say it looks better than eInk which I find enticing and faster page turns wouldn't hurt.
PB 360: This one is pretty appealing. A big concern is the clicking noise from the buttons some people find annoying. Does the d-pad make as much noise as the big buttons? I know about the G-sensor page turning firmware, so this might be moot.
But the big issue is HTML support. A primary function of my new device will be to (hopefully) provide me with a portable copy of
Access to Insight. There is a
downloadable copy of the site.
Would any kind JBL/Jetbook/Libre and PB360 users be willing to try loading it and poking around? It's about 52MB unzipped so it's not too huge. Also, is there any difference in HTML support between the JBL/Jetbook/Libre devices?
Thank you very much for any help you can provide in my struggle to make a decision!
