6" V5?

jwsheets · 02-25-2010, 07:50 PM

My wife has the V-5 and I have the V-3. Both are great products. I personally like the larger screen, but there is one aspect of the PP that I wish I had, the lever on the right side for page turns. The V-3 button placement is just awkward to me. If I am reading epubs I rotate the screen and it is better, but I have some mobi files and mobi doesn't offer the rotate screen option. Any chance of a 6" with the extra lever?

Dear JW:

No argument from me on that scroll wheel. I thought it was superflous until I found myself reading relentlessly during late evenings at Trade Shows. Once I tried that scroll wheel for page turning I was hooked. It JUST seems way faster to me.

There are no plans, I asked, at the factory to come out with a V3-B. They will be coming out with a new generation of 6 inch... but those will use keyboards and touch screen and such. Astak will carry those I believe... but no scroll wheel except on V5.

I love the scroll wheel on my PDA, but on the Mini it's on the wrong side (for me). So, I hardly use it...

But it is the best way to turn pages, I agree

Maybe Jinke might put a scroll wheel in the A6 in the future...would be nice.

Add in my vote for the 'page flipper', too. Despite holding the PEZ in my left hand, I like using the flipper on the right side. Go figure.
