Hello everyone
After reading your reactions to the Boox 60, I decided to purchase one - my first ereader. It arrived a couple of days ago, and I've been learning how to make it work, and getting the feel of it. I have a couple of issues with it, but I don't know whether they are general or specific to the Boox.
The first one is page turning. The way it is handled is very disturbing to my aging eyes : the screen inverses and I feel like I'm going cross-eyed. Is this general to all e-readers? Is there any way to induce a smoother ride?
The second arises when I try to read books downloaded from the university of Adelaide site at
http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/ . The books open in Stanza on my iMac, but if I try to read them on the Boox, all I get is a blank page. Other epub books open correctly.
The last issue is that I had envisaged using this when hiking. We'll be walking for a fortnight this summer, and I'd like to take a few books with me: an ereader seemed a good solution. Also I had intended to scan the relevant pages from the guide we're using, and put those on the machine too. But I'm now wondering whether the glass-screen will be sufficiently robust to carry in the side-pocket of a back-pack, consulting whenever necessary. Has anyone tried using one of these in such circumstances?
Thank you for your comments
