Gutenburg and Ereader/tablet

[Chris French]

I was reading a magazine, I tapped the page to turn it.

My Kindle Paperwhite is set to not refresh every page (it's not configurable, but I think it's probably about every 6 pages - though don't know if it's fixed or it tries to be clever and do it relation the the use of the screen)

I have a 2 year old Kindle Paperwhite. I do use the light, as, somewhat slighty counter intuitively the idea is that you turn it up in daylight and down low at night - I have tried it in daytime with light off, but it's a nicer experience with it on.

I don't really know what the battery life is as I don't pay attention to it (which is as it should be) - probably I charger it every couple of weeks

Having both a Kindle and a tablet (Hudl 2 - 8.something inch screen). I prefer reading on the Kindle for a number of reasons. I find it a more pleasurable experience the eink screen is for me more easy going to read for extended periods, and I don't really notice the Kindle when I'm reading. With the tablet, I'm sort of always conscious of it. Maybe the weight, the handling, the screen, the possibility of distraction just a click away, not really sure.

Though I do like using the tablet also. Kicking back on the sofa, web browsing, email, playing games, watching iplayer or whatever. Or propped up on the table at breakfast as the alternative to the morning paper. Or by the stove watching something whilst cooking.

If Tim's tablet doesn't fit in his pocket then I can only think he should have got a smaller tablet or he has very small pockets. My Kindle (about the same size as 7 icnh tab)slips easily into an pocket a paperback would fit into (and some where one wouldn't)

In article , Bob Eager writes

Nice to see Kobo are still in the market as I had heard that they had dropped out, presumably that was before the 2012 buyout by Rakuten.

I assumed you meant you have a Kobo Aura?

[Bob Eager]

When I wrote that it didn't look right! Yes, the Aura. 80 quid at Argos.

Good price, if I upgrade to a lit one then I think that would be a good choice.
