OMGosh guys, thank you ALL so much for replying. That's why , you're all so helpful, so I'll try all the things suggested and hopefully get this figured out.
Ok, some good freebies/deals today! You rockstar people, Playing for Love at Deep Haven by Katy Regnery M/C girls? Behold the Stars by Susan Fanetti N/A, few but good ratings: Mangled Hearts by Felicia Tatum The Return by T.L. Parks, just a few ratings but sounds good. And if you've missed out when it's been on sale before, I give this a solid 4-4.5 even. Charade by Nyrae Dawn is $.99 ETA 2 more freebies: Rated very highly: Beyond Control - Karice Bolton A Taste of Pearl - Arianne Richmonde Last edited by Blue2u; 01-17-2014 at 11:37 AM. |

I am using Moon + and using a paperback background with Amasis for modern stories and Gentium XL that I modified for the PW last year for historical stories. The paperback background makes it feel like a real book and the fonts I use has that printed book look to them. It's bliss for me. No more washed out newspaper reading for me. It will take a huge improvement for eInk to get me back. |

I need a little help with library books. The book I was planning to buy unexpectedly showed up at library, which is great, except now I'm wondering if there is a way for me to get notification when a book from author I read is added to library, so I could grab it right away.

See my screenshot this is exactly what I look at when I am reading as you can see nothing to distract. I love immersion mode. |

Yes, the Nexus 7.2 is so nice for reading, I can still hardly believe it. I use a linen paper-like background, and Charis SIL Modified Larger. So good for my eyes. I just got a Moko Slim cover in brown, and now it is even more perfect. I would like it better if it was about an inch or two shorter. So I still use my e-inks every time I leave the house. |

Oh no I turn WiFi off myself from the notifications area. I use WiFi Switch app for this. Mantano is okay but it doesn't do immersion mode yet. I still have the black part where the soft keys are which takes up valuable screen space not to mention it doesn't have time left to read which is a must have for me. Using Mantano you get about 6" to read on but with Moon+ you get the full 7" and that makes a huge difference.

I see what you're saying about the soft keys. But since they dim out to black to match the edges of the device I don't notice them when I am reading. I like PT Sans. I've set a couple of themes with colored backgrounds (blue-grey, buff, pale green, and purple). I like them! I tend to change the brightness setting a lot depending on where I am in the house. I like that I just have to swipe the left side of the page up or down to change it. I still love my Sony, but the Nexus has become my primary reader. That's partly because I love Calibre Companion.
