I use google translate to read. If we have an 4pda account and login, we can download it. I have one, but I can no longer login because they don't allow login via email link any more.

Now I can do anything: Cannot connect T1 to PC, failed to do a factory reset or use the SD rescue / recovery set. I know It's more than 10 years old now and maybe needs a rest, but... how can I revive it?

If the graphics in this comic book are too large, it can cause the T1 to slow down, freeze, or crash. The T1 wasn't designed for hi-res graphics. That's the problem with most old 800x600 Readers.

Thank you. That's good to know.

I opened the T1 back cover today. I found that It cannot read the SD card (the led not blinking). That's why it cannot load SD rescue / SD recovery. Any suggestions please?

IMHO, if you really want to read comics, I suggest you get a new Reader with a larger hi-res screen. I would go with the Kobo Forma at 8" or one of the various 10.3" screen Readers.

Thank you for the suggestion. I just wanted to know how PRS T1 handles comics. I rarely read comics, and I have 1 kobo forma already.

If you had asked how the T1 handles comics, would would have been told it handles them poorly. And the T1 might still be working.
