Would not recommend this to anyone who's not already fluent in e-ink readers. Since I'm planning on making a case for it because there aren't any commercially available, the lack of flat back is a nuisance. They worked as expected (which is to say, they range from poor to useless), with bonus hassle that rotating the view shoves the PDF into fit-height on the small size it doesn't have a "fit width" setting for PDFs.īack of the case is not flat it's got a curve-ish feel that would be nice if I were planning on holding it loose. Have tried both scanned and converted PDFs. I have not dug into the epubs themselves to sort out the differences. Must have something to do with the author uploading from Word or via html-ized text. I know about locking those features in the epub this was weird, because some fanfic epubs from AO3 allow adjustable fonts, and some don't. Settings for choice of font face and leading only work on some epubs. All I remember is, I put the setting at the second box, and that was okay the third was uncomfortably large, and there were several more boxes to go.) They are: Small/starting default medium big bigger huge humongous and about eight larger sizes. Library navigation is a nuisance I don't see a way to sort by "new additions." I could be missing something I'm still a bit overwhelmed. Screentouch also works for forward/back center screen is "settings." The bottom one is "next page " top one is "prev page." This is nicely intuitive for me the bottom is the one I can reach easily. There are instructions ("Enter table of contents by pressing appropriate icon from pop-up menu") but I don't get a pop-up menu as shown in the tutorial. It doesn't seem to recognize chapters/bookmarks in ebooks. At the brighter levels, I could use this for a booklight for other books.) But "on" starts at 5%, and then there's 10% and every 10% up to 100%. Light looks like it has settings going from "soft glow" to "medium glow" to "retina burn," and about 6 more above that. Eventually, tinkering with the internet settings (not actually connecting, but finding out where they were) made a small "(i)" icon show up - that operates the light and the wifi connection. The manual shows where the icon is - except there's no icon in that spot on my screen. The light settings were very hard to find. I am not concerned about this I know that getting over 1gb of ebooks on a reader makes navigation nearly impossible - ereader software is not designed to let you choose between several hundred, much less several thousand, texts. If that's going to brick the device like it did last time, I want to find out how it works first. I have not attempted to connect to the internet nor download new firmware. Kernel version says something about November 16, 2016. (Standard Android instructions for "hard reboot" do not work.) Arta Tech did not respond to email, and has no US phone number. I sent back the first one I ordered - it froze while trying to install updated software, and neither I nor Amazon's tech support could figure out how to get it to reboot. I've acquired a new Inkbook Prime, and I thought I'd give some initial thoughts/review notes.
