Amazon has always been a good spinner of words, but that doesn't always translate into tangible improvements in the devices.

Since I've had so many bad kindle experiences, I really want to see a Kobo H20 in person and see what I think. I've read quite a few posts on here from people who are very happy with them so fingers crossed. If it doesn't work out for me, I'll stick with my PW2 for another year and hope that next year brings something better. It seems almost humorous saying that. Oh yes ... maybe one fine year there will be some magical shift and there will actually be an e-reader release that isn't riddled with issues. Or at least maybe the odds with start to improve. Instead of going through 5 or 6, maybe only 2 or 3 returns will be necessary before hitting gold. Maybe. Let's just say I'm not holding my breath. ![]() |

What I think "optimized font technology" really means is Amazon's way of taking one font (in this case Caecilia) and using it to produce all the different versions and they diddle with the font to make it darker then it actually is. Amazon has been doing this for some time. It's nothing new. There is no such thing as Caecilia condensed. That's just Caecilia condensed by the software on the Kindle.

I had an idea this afternoon that might help out the Voyage. Maybe if Amazon used a neutrally tinted (smoked) front glass rather than a clear glass front, then turned up the light to compensate, it would act as a filter for those gosh awful colors. Time to put on sunglasses and see if that works! ![]() |
