A new buzzphrase crossed your correspondent's desk: "Computing First Networking. Intel has 25 problems, too Think of an attack — DDOS, arbitrary code execution, memory corruption — and one of these problems allows it.
This is just one of the restrictions caused by the technology. Perhaps in the future we will see the eInk in a touch screen format with hand writing recognition but at that stage it stops being a reader and starts drifting into the PDA convergence. I can see this as being useful as attempting to scroll through odd books could become quite tedious. By either moving the pointer down or selecting one of the associated numbers you are able to move on to the next level of options.
Again selecting the associated number or using the 5 way controller you move into the next menu option — in this case the book itself. The menu is pretty self explanatory and the learning curve for the device is very low. The major question with this device is, what is it like to read? There is a simple answer and a much more involved answer. The simple answer is that it is brilliant, the high contrast eInk has no optimum viewing angle, does not strain the eyes and is as easily visible in dim light as it is in bright.
The lack of a backlight does make it a little more complex to use at night but this I have simply remedied by purchasing a book light. The more involved answer is related to the nature of the reading material itself. Depending on your eyesight and the quality of the light this is a very useful option. The reader also allows you to rotate the display for even larger text and splits a page vertically into 2. Whilst not perfect it was quite readable and exhibits why the rotate option can be useful.
Being a colour comic it does wash out a little in the grey scale and a comic that was black and white to start with would make for better reading. Where the Reader falls down is in its PDF capabilities. The unfortunate side effect of this is that the majority of reference documents are pretty much unreadable. When a PDF has been set up specifically for the device it is just brilliant. All page links work within the document and a PDF menu can be navigated using the 5 way controller.
In conclusion the PRS does what it says on the box — it lets you read eBooks and it does it extremely well. I am very impressed with it as a complete package especially when keeping in mind how young the technology is. A personal mark of 8. Definitely cheaper to get one from the States rather than trying to find one over here. Continued 17 US.
