The first thing I did was put a few PDF's in well.... the pdf's I converted to apparently pdf's were already PDF's and it made the files look crappy!
I was seriously getting cold sweats  at that point regretting my purchase of my $139.99 calculator
I then updated my Libre firmware and it made a huge difference!  everything is extremely fast compared to the official firmware it comes with!.
I opened it up and started to charge it, I loaded a couple self converted epubs from one of sam kieths novels! Scratch - Im not really a comic reader like at all but I was pleasantly surprised once I turned off that reflow feature and turned it widescreen! I could read it perfectly fine 100% awesome!
threw some music and animation model sheets on it - both work great!
then the ultimate test! threw on a 35mb walter stanchfield animation pdf on it! and what can I say.......... What a Brilliant machine! - worked flawlessly!
Im 100% positive that this machinene was well worth the money!
the screen is a calculator tone but alittle bit lighter and definately more advanced! the sony ereader is alot whiter of a screen!
if your looking for an E-reader that actually has a reasonable price tag, go with this Aluratek Libre!
Does any one know when we will be getting font support or how we can change the font to something alittle more interesting?
"just becuase its an old B&W tv doesnt mean it cant play dvds "
thanks guys and Im also new here
Hello everyone  |
If you are interested, in my local Costco at Port Coquitlam, Libre 's price was reduced from $159 to $139 last week
I think this is the second reduction for the last month.
I like JBL better and I got it from NCIX for $119 last Wednesday.
