Long time lurker

jcw1407 · 08-25-2012, 07:09 PM

I've been browsing MobileRead for some time but have never joined till now.

I've had many e-readers and been frustrated in different ways by each of them.

My first reader was a Cybook Gen 3 which I used for over a year till I dropped it and cracked the screen :-)

Then I had a Kindle, which was a frustrating experience, especially the Kindle bookshop - this lasted till the screen gave up and died just outside the warranty period.

I had a Sony reader for a while, but donated that to my mum.

I bought the Apple Kool-Aid and tried an IPad for a while, but even with the vaunted retina display, I found it tiring and almost unusable outside, but I had got used to the extra size, so my current e-reader is the Onyx Boox M92 - so I'm developing strong forearm muscles, it weighs a ton :-)

My wife also uses ereaders and owns a Nook wifi.

I'm a software developer and am going to get involved in developing for the Onyx - maybe not on the firmware side, but it definitely needs some help in managing book collections.

Looking forward to delurking....

James

Hello James. Welcome to the forum. You said you are a software developer. I'm wondering if you can help me with a streaming issue I'm facing now?
