| So far this is how I manage these: > o ability to loan to others I totally boycott DRM'ed books. Period, absolutely non negotiable. Problem solved. > o physically robust (I've cracked three (3) screens) I have a metal-cased Sony reader since 2008. It's really, really robust. It's not as good as the latest readers, but good enough nonetheless (and it has two sets of metal-cast page turning buttons). > o extended reading time Strange, my Nook Color easily lasts a couple of days and my Sony PRS 3 weeks of avid reading. > o random-access speeds/location Yes, this one is unsolved so far, though the Nook color quick page slider is quite good. > o support for color. That's why I have both an e-ink and an LCD reader so far. When will readers with Qi screens come? |
