e-writer wannabe now onboard
Hi, All,

I've been reading MobileRead for over a year now, praying to God that a company would finally introduce an out-of-the-box e-writer (as well as e-reader). Tonight, I found my prayers have been answered by Pocketbook, or, at least, according to certain threads here, are about to be. So, to celebrate, I am officially signing on as a forum member.

It has been my view for a few years now that until e-ink devices can complete the reading-writing circuit, their potential (including market potential) will not be approachable. The problem is that the same refreshing screens that quickly makes reading on them intolerable makes writing on them painful. Maybe I'm a canary in a coalmine, but I have long experienced these screens disrupting my train of thought and jarring my emotions as well as irritate eyes.

Considering that nearly everything in the world happens because someone first wrote about it, the advent of the e-ink writer bodes well for all of us. Until now, we have not had a proper replacement for the typewriter, in other words, a neutral device that does not move around while you're trying to generate a clear idea while also giving you word processing power. Again, thank god for the Pocketbook creators! (I know the Iliad has (had?) a writing program, too, but the company was just too sketchy and the product too expensive and the program too after-market to meet my minimal requirements for an e-writer.)

Anyway, thanks to the forum founders for carrying the torch for this extremely mportant invention and to other readers for helping ignite interest in e-readers.

Welcome to mobileread ....


You will enjoy your 302, the Gen3 is a quicker out of the box reader*, but the 302 has more capability ..... [*after charging battery, of course!]
