Costumers Product Reviews



It's an expensive product compared to the Kindle Paper White. But it has more features,

1. Much bigger screen (approx. 2 times larger than Kindle). That was the main reason. It has 8-inch screen which is comfortable for reading. 6 inch from Kindle wasn't enough for me. Even Oasis offers 7-inch, found it overpriced for using Mobi format only. Think 8-inch is good enough.

2. Quality screen with the lighting automatic adjustment. The screen light quality is good and I don't care whether it's night or day - the light is adaptive. I just set the time when I go to bed and the light is warmer at that time.

3. Physical buttons + touch screen. Prefer when my screen is clean and I could follow the text without touching the screen.

4. Fast charging.

5. The main feature for me: I could use multiple formats for my Ebooks, not just Kindle edition. Now, I have access to my public library through the OverDrive, I could simply drop my books to DropBox as well. Even .pdf documents are comfortable to read because of the 8-inch screen size.


Cons


Disgusted at its ability to consistently present the view upside down or sideways even though I selected the "landscape locked" option. If anyone knows how to set it to always appear the correct way up...........? At present only hitting it works ! Also goes into "Lock" mode to frequently where it completely seizes up ! Definitely not worth wasting money on.

Stick to hard copy books or use a laptop.
