![]() On the other hand, with most software I have seldom had to hit the button twice to actually make the page flip. Just holding the device (one handed) even if my fingers are on the button very seldom does it flip the page. ![]() For me the force needed to press the button is fairly good. Instead the buttons travel from the front to the back. From the various pictures I had come to the conclusion that movement of the buttons went from the side toward the middle, in other words squeeze the device to turn the page. The side buttons were kind of a shock to me. In normal handholding, you don’t hear or feel any flex. If you grab opposite corners and bend you get a little flex, but surprising little. ![]() Probably not a surprise to anyone, the Prime is mostly plastic. I can easily grip the Prime, fingers on one side, thumb on the other and still be able to use the buttons. Your mileage may vary but for me the size of the Prime is a great match of the size of my hand. This means that gravity is working against me, which I have discovered more than once when my android tablet has slid out of my fingers and crashed into my face. the place I do most of my reading is in bed. While I do read a lot sitting in a chair, riding in a car, etc. I am going to try and not cover the same ground and really just add in bits and pieces here and there.įor me one of the biggest criteria on selecting a eReader is the ergonomics on holding the device. Where to start? I would recommend you pop over to and read Nathan’s various posts on the Inkbook Prime. I have spent thousands of hours tweaking eBooks using Calibre, Jutoh and sometimes the raw HTML. I have converted books from paper, text, and HTML into eBooks. Over the 15 years and 10 devices I have read close to a thousand books electronically, a 60-40 split between fiction and nonfiction throwing in a couple of dozen computer related technical books. The light turned on, figuratively speaking since the PRS-T1 doesn’t have one, and I remembered why I liked the e-ink devices. I recently ran across my old PRS-T1, and started reading a few books on it. While I enjoy the tablet for better surfing, the size, weight and glare resulted in not the best reading device. The browser and networking not being the most robust, I moved away from e-ink and switch to a Android tablet (~8.5 Inch size). The next jump was to the PRS-T1, to gain network capability. I moved on to e-ink starting with the Sony PRS-500, then made the jump to the PRS-505 to be able to use ePub instead of LRF. I began reading book on electronic devices back in the days of Pocket PC. I like to start reviews by providing some information on my qualifications so you can judge if you want to listen to my opinions, if you don’t care about my background just skip ahead.
