MY thoughts on my new K3

[MrPLD]

Thankfully for me she's rather engrossed right now with writing more books (I think the next one is an urban-fantasy - she starts too many for me to keep track of at times).

Back to the K3, are there any Aussies here who are using it with Linux and WiFi ?

I'm sorely tempted to get native ePub support on the K3 but I probably shouldn't go cracking into the new machine at first - probably should stick with using the Amazon supplied ePub -> mobi converter software... for now.

You must be busy and thrilled with your new toy..
Have you tested K3 with any pdf files ?
Would like to get your reviews on that..

[MrPLD]

Still waiting for mine to be dispatched.... lots of F5-refreshing going on at the Amazon page

Okay.......heres the thing. I only read novels, not pdfs that show tables, etc.

So, I took a pdf file (books) that didn't convert well into mobi and dragged it to my K3. In the regular mode, the book is practically unreadable, the type is so small.
Can't enlarge without huge issues.

HOWEVER, AFTER READING THE MANUAL if you put it in landscape mode, the boook reads beautifully!!! "fit to width" (default) type is way large enough to read. The cover pic is clear and sharp

I am very pleased.

[MrPLD]

Will be nice when they can do 'onboard' PDF -> ePub/Mobi conversion that looks good, but it's a good tip about the landscape mode.

(PS, I hope the graphics banner is acceptable - I've been reading all through the various debating threads on banners)

I believe she's asking you for a new K3 for Christmas.......

Better hurry and order before they run out, and don't forget the lighted cover!!

Nah, she really wants some kind of pad for her eye. Her eye looks fine to me, so I don't really understand the pad thing.

My eyes are better now, but it would not hurt to have something extra with that "pad".

Thanks, sis!

Just think of the Karma Duck would get if she did that!!

Hey......why don't we all go give her karma now, as an "incentive"?

That's what struck me the most about my new K3. I really think amazon hit the sweet spot. It's the perfect size and I can easily hold when while laying down.
