PRS-T1 Random nits... - Page 2

SCION · 10-16-2011, 09:13 PM

Here's the manual in PDF format. Links don't work though. I opened the ePub file and saved it as PDF.

hope it's ok to add random nits here.

thought it'd be easier than a new thread.

Seems ok so far.

Annotation selections are kind of a pain when you want to select the beginning or end of line. A margin would help. Maybe some zoom bubble like iBooks too since it's hard to know the exact placement.

Annotations would be nice if when you dragged it first selected the word. The boundaries end up being wherever my finger is and it's hard to get it exactly to the beginning or end of word. Who really wants to select a select a character?

Foreign language author and titles. Like 'À rebours' shows up as 'A€ rebours'. For that book the author shows up as 'HUYSMANS' though the PDF metadata is 'Joris-Karl Huysmans'. Forgot if I changed it and the deleted and reimported the PDF. Even if I did, should be ok.

No-justification would be nice

If you're at a book, press home, pressing return could go back to the book.

Reader desktop could be better. The Nook desktop is not too bad.

The bars at the end of highlight make it difficult to know where you are stopping compared to the old models. I have changed technique to press and hold the last word of the phrase and then highlight the words before it. In other words, backwards from the natural tendency.

Another thing that would be nice is to remember the used dictionary per ePub language.

The T1 also seems to not wrap well very long words, like those longer than 1 line of text. Makes some words in Finnegans Wake difficult to make out.

Then read that book in landscape mode.
