I decided that the H2O is the best e-ink device for me, given my budget. I am mostly ok with the blinking in between pages when there are no images, and for most books, I will simply delete the images. Unfortunately for a textbook, images are important.
I can't wait until I get a TFT reader. And then a Samsung tablet when I can afford it ![]() |

If the flashing bothers you that much, maybe you can try to get into the habit of looking away or closing your eyes for a second or two when changing pages. It might be good to take that opportunity to reflect on what you just read in the last page; that would help with memory retention and take some of the focus off the page change.

If you do want to get a tablet for reading, I highly suggest and iPad Mini. It's a really good size. There is also a blue light filter built into iOS. The only thing I do not reccomend is using iBooks (rubbish).
As for eInk, if the H2O's flashing is a bother, I cannot see any other eInk based device being any better as that's how eInk is. One good thing I like with my H2O is that I can turn the light down low and still be able to read. Have you tried reading using ePub (not kepub) to see if the flashing is any better? There is a patch for the current versions of the firmware to allow you to set the full screen flash to 99. I do have a bedside led light that works very well for reading. It's from Ikea. It clips on the hearboard. http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/20315674/ Last edited by JSWolf; 04-28-2017 at 08:53 AM. |
