Asus eee pc T91 - Page 3

Houndx · 11-18-2009, 01:42 PM

The biggest problem I have with Mobipocket on the T91 is that the forward and back buttons are about 1/4" wide on the edge of the screen. That makes for pretty wide margins but also makes them a pain to use in tablet mode. I like it's formatting, etc but it's inconvient to use on a touch device. If I had an easier target for page turning, it'd be at the front of the list. The only reason FBreader is above it is because FBreader let me add swipes for page turning and natively supports rotation

eReader just doesn't have enough formatting options. Specifically I like a decent indent at the beginning of my paragraphs but eReader has none at all. eReader's touch controls are very, very nice though - very nice.

I'd love to see Alreader2+ on Windows, it's page turning is easy and it has a ton of formatting options

I don't mind converting my books to another format. Calibre does all the work anyway.

Nice, if I could understand Russian...

With a bit of experimenting I'm sure you'll figure it out

Well, clicking randomly didn't get the two columns turned off.. gonna see if I can translate it.

And, here is a quickly translated version of the exe. You'll still need the other files from the main site and you should get the english hyphenation file as well. That download is probably only good for 10 or so dl's

If you haven't tried AlReader, I can't recommend it enough. Just about anything you want to customize is available in a menu somewhere - different fonts, sizes, styles, colors for everything, tap zones, keys, indents, spacing, letter width, letter thickness.. you get the picture.

I'll use AlReader for entertainment reading and eReader for anything requiring notes, bookmarks or highlighting. Also, I hope Amazon improves Kindle for PC to make it usable.
