i prefer pdf to text.it's simple,universal and light on pointless processing.
i cannot see the point of endless different formats.
last week
another company was going to bring out a ereader with a
proprietary format..talk about retarded executives and their retarded sycophants.
i guarantee this ereader and format will fail...what a waste of money
on mind boggling stupidity.
part 2 of review continued...
regarding the endless debate about collections i will not use collections for my 3500 books until amazon bring native folder support via software.
i will simply put my 3500 books in alphabetical order author-title order using free lupus rename software to ensure consistent naming on my pc first then dump the whole lot via usb to the kindle.
the 119 books i put in a single go failed to freeze/reboot/slow my kindle in any way.this was what i was terrified off....a lump of inert freezing plastic in my impatient hand. the battery seemed ok as well.i have not charged it out of the box so far.
today i discovered on the 119 test books that the contents pages total 12 pages.
all i had to do was
hold the < or > buttons down to get from page 1 to page 12 or vice versa.
it took only 5 seconds.
5 seconds.
for 3500 books it will be 350 content pages and take a
maximum 350/12 times 5 seconds =180 seconds or 3 minutes to get from AAA TO ZZZ.
it would be great if a hack was discovered to put 20 or 30 per content page page as a lot of space is wasted with just 10 books displayed on a content page.
anyone know of such a hack or trick/tip?
or i can use search by author to be be even quicker.
