E-reader comparison table & tool

[Yapyap]

It’s an absolutely wonderful resource, so thank you so much for it! I recommend it / link to it any time I can, on reddit or various other social media if someone is looking for a new device, and I’ve noticed more people are doing the same these days.

I realise how much work this already takes, but I don’t suppose there’s any chance of adding a note about on-device Libby support to the PocketBooks as well, now that they explicitly have it for newer devices?

I've already seen several discussions on reddit that are using the new URLs. It's a great addition.

You're welcome!

I'll make sure to add the information on Libby support to the PocketBook e-readers soon. Should be able to squeeze that in somewhere later this week or next week.

And thank you so much for recommending it to others!

Nice! Glad to know it's already being used


Since my last post, I've been focusing on optimizing the performance of the site. Still not done, but everything should already be much snappier.

Pages themselves should already load a bit faster now, but the biggest improvements have been with the main comparison tables themselves. They should now load about 80% faster! And respond about 60% faster to filter selections and sorting actions. The lightboxes I mentioned last time now also open much faster (didn't measure), and things on the page should now not shift anymore when the main comparison table or the size comparison tool are loaded in. They're now loaded with correctly sized placeholders in place. The only exception here is loading a link with filters already applied, as the height of the table is different for every filter combination (and will also change over time).

So everything should feel a lot faster and smoother. Still doing more work on improving the initial page load times. After that I'm back to doing more data entry.

Oh, and I've also added the ability to click and drag anywhere on the table body (except for links and text) to scroll sideways.

I received my Musnap Air Pro today and I can confirm it has auto rotation. The selections are shown in the attached pic. I've got it set at 180 degree rotation that allows me to keep it in portrait mode with the buttons on the right or left for right-handed use or left-handed use.
