Newbie from Sweden

Hi!
I´m from Sweden and I just found this site today. I have just bought myself a new Cybook, but of cause it will take a while for it to arrive. While waiting for it I will continue reading my e-books on my Tungsten E2 (it does work well for me but since i mainly use it for reading books, I decided to buy myself a dedicated e-reader with e-ink. I read a lot of books

and I resent it when the battery givs out on me

. Hopefully the Cybook will take care of that problem.

Hi Clara and welcome to the Forum. Beware, once you try eInk, you WILL become addicted

Welcome! I'd love to travel to your country one of these days. Spent a lot of time in Eastern Europe, but would like to go north for some xcountry skiing.

Hi again everybody!

Today I have had my Cybook for a week, and I´m very pleased with it, the only "negative" with it is that you (or I at least would not dare) read it while bathing. But i can live with that, I have plenty of regular books too, and since I´m a librarian, have access to countless more books should I so desire. Of course, not the same books I read om my Cybook, but still...

To Petter: How do you like your Iliad, and do you use it for other than reading books? I think I have heard you can subscribe to newspaper with it...? Or something. It´s a littele more advanced than the Cybook, right?

(Kul med en till svensk förresten, ibland är det ju bra att kunna fråga på svenska, att läsa på engelska är ju lätt men ibland är det svårt att hitta rätt ord på engelska när man ska skriva något)

Hej Klara

Another swede here, with a BeBook (Hanlin V3 rebrand).

As for reading in the bath. Well, you could always buy some ziplock bags at the supermarket large enough to hold the cybook

I think one of the other members here on MR did that and it worked just fine. You probably shouldn't drop the reader into the bathtub even if it's in a ziplock bag, but to keep it from getting wet while holding it it should work just fine.

Ha en bra dag,
Stefan

tompe · 10-31-2008, 09:22 AM

Ah, minst fyra svenskar

Petter · 10-31-2008, 10:57 AM

Har vi fyra olika läsare?
Själv har jag en Iliad, Jovvi har en Cybook och Slite en Bebook.
Hade någon bara en Sony 505 skulle vi kunna ha en liten träff och jämföra leksakerna.

Hej,

Jag använder bara iLiaden till skönlitteratur. Jag valde den för storlekens skull, tycker att den var bra att läsa med.Det blir som en riktig boksida och det tycker jag fortfarande om.
Den har ju en pekskärm man kan göra anteckningar i dokument med, på men det använder jag aldrig.
Nu funderar jag faktiskt på att byta till en Cybook för smidighetens skull och för att stödet för mobipocket och egenvalda fonter är bättre.
Iliad är som bäst när man läser pdf-dokument som man själv skapat och formaterat själv. Klart sämre för mobipocketböcker.
Det viktigaste för en bra läsupplevelse och för att inte bli trött i ögonen är belysningen så nu ska jag köpa en liten clip-on lampa som säljs av Amazon till Kindlen.

Ha det bra, Petter

Slite · 12-05-2008, 09:16 AM

Hade jag fått välja e-läsare idag hade jag nog valt en Cybook istället för en BeBook.

Just på grund av Cybookens utmärkta Mobi support, men jag blev lite "lurad" av att BeBooken "stödjer" så många format, vilket den förvisso gör, men inget format speciellt bra. Mja, utom FB2 då, det är den riktigt bra på. RTF funkar också ok. Men Mobi och MS-Reader är den INTE bra på ännu, tyvärr.
