Choosing a frontlit ereader - Page 5

I finally found the time to install Energy System firmware on my T62D. I charged it fully and, after 16 hours in standby (with wifi off) the battery is still at 100%. On the other side, with Boyue firmware, rooting and deep sleep, it fully discharged in a couple of days. So, this is a very satisfying starting point; now I plan to try a few reading apps, dictionaries, and calibre companion.

Many thanks to Dopedangel and kacir, you have been most helpful! Thank you!

P.S. Oh well, I could add karma for Dopedangel but not for kacir because I already gave him some... well, I will, as soon as I can!

Hello OneiroDancer,

You installed the 2.0.0B hfirmware? (as you are satisfied with the battery not draining)
Please keep us informed about your proceedings.
I'd like to learn what you think bout the quickdic experience.

Wooops, sorry, in the last month I had very little time to fiddle with the reader, and a few paper books to read, so I haven't gained more esperience...

...I will return here as soon as I have something more to report, sorry for having disappeared!

I have read three books on the reader in the last two weeks.

I enjoyed it, I really like the screen and after a while I forget that I am using a reader - the best that I can say about the reading experience :-)

I tried to use the dictionary just to test it; it works, I am not very satisfied with the contents, since it just gives a list of synonyms and no definitions, but as far as I can tell the software is ok.

I am using 2.0.0B, but I cannot really say much about battery duration, since the reader kept switching off between my reading sessions. I found the option in the settings and I just disabled it, so I will be able to say something more about battery duration in a few days. I found it irritating that there were no intermediate value for the switching off between 120 minutes and "never"; I would have set it to 24 or 48 hours, for example, just to stop an eventual draining when I don't use the reader for one or two days. Anyway, let's just check how long it lasts with normal use with switchoff disabled...
