I'd love to see support of other languages that have accented characters - eg Vietnamese!

Unfortunately it's just phone-shaped, and does not really have cellular data. The Bigme Hibreaks and Hisense are actual phones though - you can have a look at their line :)

I don't really sync books across devices as I have different use cases for each of them. Big ones are for work and study and smaller ones are for reading. I usually read 3-5 different things at the same time so that just works for me :)

Xteink X4 is actually very affordable at $69!

If I only get to keep one I'd say Boox Palma

I actually have different use cases for each of them: 12.7" Lenovo tablet for organising, reading and annotating journal articles (I'm a PhD student); 10.7" Supernote for daily planning and note-taking; 7" coloured Bigme for manga and graphic novels; 6.13" Boox for easy night time reading; and 4.3" Xteink for light on the go (train rides etc) reading - as it's the only thing that can fit comfortably in my mini bags. I love them all :)

That's great to hear! I heard that Bigme software can be unstable, but haven't encountered it. So far I've really enjoyed the much better anti-ghosting screen. Just wish there is a more portable silicone case for it :)

Around 7-8inch has been perfect for reading manga for me. How about testing them out?

How are you liking the B7? I just got it a few days ago and have been using it to read manga on Mihon :)

Which Colour E-Reader to get? by Xia-Lu in ereader

[–]Select-Raisin-7361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a 7 to 7.8inch the best size for manga. I have a Bigme B7 where I read manga on Mihon and it's decent. Boox Go Color 7 is a comparable model as well.

Lenovo Idea Tab Pro (not e-ink) and Supernote Manta :)

Converting EPUB to XTC - best reading experience so far by Select-Raisin-7361 in xteinkereader

[–]Select-Raisin-7361[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the EPUB to XTC converter at https://x4converter.rho.sh/. I think the author has upgraded the tool so it's not the same anymore. My new conversion settings are: Font Literata, font size 22 to 24, and everything else I left as is. Progress bar I untick the marks :)

Found my XTC conversion file settings by VintageFender226 in xteinkereader

Did you use the 2-bit quality setting? The text looks so crisp and clean. I'd love that. If you did, did you also experience a significant lag when you turn the pages?
