FIGHT ME FRIDAY

it's a terrible error because EVERYONE has caught it. this is not like a bad run of books with pages out of order (very common in the pocket paper book era) or a spelling error /obscure grammatical error. i rarely agree with the "they need better editors" complaints as the people making those claims

I need a 7-8" BW ereader with buttons. Suggestions?

If manga is important to you, I would recommend the InkPad 4 and forget about anything regarding ergonomics. Size is important if you don't want to mess with zooming, and even 8" can get - depending on the manga - rather small (small text bubbles with small text). Additionally is manual zooming (wit

Ereaders with grip handle help!

i feel you on wanting that grip handle - makes such a difference for long reading sessions. the kobo libra 2 is probably your safest bet because the build quality is solid and the page turn buttons are actually comfortable. pocketbook era has a similar shape but the software feels slower in my exper

Kobo v kindle

Home page is important if I just want to see my currently reading books, and that's better viewed in kobo. The UI on kobo is just better.

First time user

I'd go 7, 8, or 10 inch. 7 is comfortable to hold, but still reasonably compact. It's my form factor of choice. Libra Color. Great device, great software, the color screen is nice to have but obviously the aforementioned downsides. Libra 2. Probably the perfect 7" BW ereader. It's discontinued but I

Transport with remarkable

That surprises me. Ive been relatively careful with my backpack and it still broke the screen on my pocketbook era, which has an identical book cover and very similar looking screen. Ill use a laptop cover though, one I already have though because I can't sow. Do you know if it'll be a problem that
