Hi! :)
I was recommended this forum yesterday and decided to take a look around. I'm in Sweden and I'm fairly new to e-books... the whole ''I want the smell of paper'' deal, you probably know. I can barely stand reading on a screen, although I've been forced to do that with some schoolwork..
But I'm curious, and heard about e-readers and how e-ink was different.. and it IS very practical to be able to recieve a book instantly after purchase..and they're usually cheaper too.. Not to mention all free first books in a series which allows me a nice sample read before actually buying the rest of the books..
so about 1,5-2 months ago I ordered a Letto Frontlight, which as far as I understand is the same thing as the cybook muse frontlight but sold under a swedish book shop. I'm on my 20th book on it now and yes.. it's not like reading on the computer at all. :) I'm very happy. I've changed the font size and settings so it feels more like a pocket book, and what little shadowing that comes just adds to that feel of thin papers ;) (the refreshing black screens every 6th turn bothered me so I turned that off completely.)
I havn't had any issue with it at all untill yesterday when an ePub file I had bought lacked paragraphing, the whole book was a wall of text.. the pdf file looked ok, but I couldn't find any reflow function so it wasn't readable on the small screen. Anyway, I complained, got my money back and bought it from another place, so now it works. But this was the reason I was recommended this forum, so I figured you'd like to know :)
