Yes, the contrast is way better than the Inkpad3 Pros. I installed fonts a tad bolder to mine. Still not as good a contrast as with the Kobos I had, but I guess I'll get used to it. The light is also not as bright as the Kobos.

I used to have something like that. Very much like that. It was called "Newton MP2000". Operating system aside I much prefer my Forma. |

My comment was a joke but, it has clearly pointed out how bad people are at defining things that they are talking about. And how many assumptions people make that are different to what others make. Or redefine things afterwards for convenience.

By 0ish bezel, I meant both sides. And by side page turn buttons, I meant page turn buttons on the thickish sides, not on the front or back. And the intended hold would be between thumb and fingers across the palm. Ideally a page turn button would be a bi-directional toggle operated by slightly shifting the thumb toward the top or bottom. Most effortless page turns ever. |

For some value of "ideal" and "effortless". I have a Paperwhite 3. I can just barely hold it between the tip of my thumb and tip of my pinky the way you describe. Do not want.

I do not have a PW3 handy, but I think eliminating the bezels would make it at least 25 mm narrower.

Maybe you just have giant hands? I 'unnow. I do know that people with small to medium sized hands -- women, children, me -- would never be able to use a reader like you describe, not without cutting it down to smartphone scale.

All this talk of making bezels smaller is making my hands hurt just thinking about it.
I want MORE bezel, not less. These are handheld devices meant to be used for hours on end. Ergonomics matter |
