Do you think its contrast without light is worse than pearl screens ?

I don't have my old devices any more so I can't compare side by side. I think I've been quite spoiled by the amazing contrast on the Voyage, so switching over was a bit of a shock. But the more I use the Likebook Plus, the more I like it. The contrast isn't as good, but it's quite a versatile little device.

This ereader belongs to John Smith If found please call John @ 212-555-1212 I then replaced the image in the zip file. It was critical that the image in the zip file is simply stored in the file and not compressed. I could not find a way to simply replace the file without compression using Windows or 7 zip so I grabbed a trial version of Winrar from this page. Then I replaced the Open_screen_1.png image with my modified image. When adding this new image I made sure to change Compression Method from Normal to Store, see attached. Using Store does not alter the file at all, it simply places the file in the zip. I then copied the file to the SD Card. Before copying the file to /system/media/ directory I went to the directory and renamed the existing shutdownanimation.zip file to shutdownanimation.zip.bak. Now I copied the new shutdownanimation.zip file to the original /system/media/ directory. Next time I shut the ereader down, my new image displayed as I had hoped.

Any idea how to do a screen shot on these devices? Update: I was hoping for a button press screenshot ability, but I went ahead and installed Screenshot Easy app and used that app to take screenshots. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 01-31-2018 at 09:53 PM. |

You can also set button to do screen shots using GravityBox. Making main button to open recent apps and volume panel made device more useful to me.
Also does anyone knows of any alternative covers? It does not feel protective enough as I like to carry e-reader a lot. |

After installing Xposed and its framework you can install GravityBox. Link http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.gm2.gravitybox About cover- I just like alternative things like third-party covers. Something that would protect not only device back but front frame as well would be great. Thanks @HarryT for pointing it out, it would be better to put it into sleeve indeed. |

Physical button acts as "back" button and it seems that it doesn't recognise long press, only double press.
