Manga mini review - Page 2

Nathan, I don't exactly envision you as someone that always just goes along with the crowd to blend in, so I always expect a unique perspective from you! ;-)

I do miss the backlight. A lot. I also miss not having my ebooks with me all the time -- a dream scenario would be if the same books were on both my Treo and Sony Reader and there was an easy way to keep them in synch.

But I guess it's just that the Reader experience is so good for me, and so helpful for my eyes, that I'm willing to give up those characteristics in order to get the nice e-ink display. Eventually I may end up supplementing my Reader time with a little bit of Treo reading time in another book also. Maybe, for example, if there's something I want to read that's available at eReader, and not at Sony Connect.

Sorry, seems I've lost track of the topic and gone OT... back to manga!

Is reading in the dark a concern to you? If I could light up the room without my wife beating me to death I'd be less worried about the backlight...

Yeah, back to manga !

It would be nice when we (the not yet blesed by a reader) can see some pictures of manga on the reader (side/side, landscape, purchased vs jpeg/pdf etc.), hi-res if possible

Coming soon . . . What's the best way to do this. I have HI Res photos that I uploaded to my server. What is the best way for me to make them available? My free flickr account is nearly full

Here's a video of the time it takes for the manga to resolve from picture to picture.

Toward the end, there are three comparison pictures between the scanlation png and the sony reader resolution. I have some high res photos.

The index for those pics are here:
