Did you see where I live? About 200 km north of you. I have no problems at all reading inside my house in the winter in the Netherlands. The contrast is the same as that of a newspaper. And that is with my ageing eyes

But in bad light you have to use a larger font. Actually I had to buy a better lamp to be able to read at my usual reading place. I agree that with good light the experience is very good.

Ortep, I'm glad for you, I'm just sharing my experience.

I know that on a dedicated forum we all prefer to hear good things about our chosen device, nevertheless I thought it would be useful to provide some frank feedback on my first impressions.

Still no joy mounting on XP, I'll take it to the troubleshooting forum.

Did you try the following setting when you are inside a book:

Layout->Emboldened Text?

It makes the text a bit 'fatter' and gives you more contrast

Yep, they did say it'd go right away... I had a look and it's off my credit card.

Would you mind posting when you get your mail saying it's coming? It'll let me know mine isn't too far away.
