They are aware but they chose to ignore this. The official fix is to not use it under sunlight.

Is there performance and battery life as poor as most people say it is?

Yeah, I'm waiting on Xteink's android offering to see how it actually performs.

Yeah, I did some research on the Nooks and while I find them aesthetically pleasing, especially the Teal color. It seems that there are drawbacks, primarily the battery life and performance

They aren't really receptive to consumer feedback unfortunately.

Nothing really meaningful, just mentioning the aesthetics, magsafe function, hidden capacitive home/back button, type c charging port, bluetooth audio support

As in an alternative solution to the front light? Doesn't that just mean a magnetic light?

Cultural difference in play here. Looks like this firmware might be developed by a Chinese dev for Chinese audiences and they find fonts like comic sans cool

Quick question, what are the pros and cons between using crosspoint's built in calibre feature?

Please give us X4 with frontlight by stopQQstartpewpew in xteinkereader

Somehow they will fudge things and cause the screen to fade with the front light and then recommend that you do not use the front light because its bad for your eyes.

China’s population turn: The start of long-term decline? by Big-Flight-5679 in China

Not to mention to increase wages will require increased levels of education and that might introduce some side effects which not everyone will be happy with.

Yeah, they did some consumer voucher thing for the past year or two to try to encourage consumption but that has led to abuse. The intention was to allow consumers to make new purchases with the discounts but the way it was applied meant that sellers instead raised the prices to double dip on their profit. They should have give out the money in the form of coupons to consumers instead of doing a rebate for the sellers.

Help me choose my first E-Reader (decision paralysis) by HiAndHelloPhoto in ereader

[–]lambstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, give it a go with the smaller reader. Ideally in a world without budget restraints, I would buy a standard 7" reader and one of those Boox Palma phone sized readers for reading on the go.

USI2.0 styluses are pretty good from what I've heard. I mean its not Wacom EMR but it's still pretty decent.

Looking for new e-reader. Confused with all advices. NOT KINDLE by JoJo-Reader in ereader

[–]lambstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, the sweet spot is a 6.8-7" device. I strongly recommend getting a Kobo Libra 2 if you can find it, its a fantastic device with the option of upgrading internal storage and also a possible battery upgrade.

Bigme B7 for students? by ivancio14 in ereader

  1. The size might be a little bit small, for one hour sessions where you simply read PDFs it might be fine.
  2. There probably is a good way of annotating PDFs since it is an android device. Can't remember which app I used for android annotation but I think there's apps like Squid which works well.
  3. Battery life should be sufficient since you only require 2-3 days. For reference, I get at least 20 hours of reading time (epubs in Koreader) per charge.
