Comments

Good points: slimline with few controls, making it simple to operate. One main control on the front turns the pages and controls other options such as change font size and page aspect, making it easy to use. A protective cover is supplied which stays securely shut with a magnet. Really useful pre-loaded instruction manual.

Drawbacks: The side controls for other functions are too small to press easily, particularly with the cover in place. Page turning is slower than on the Sony and it takes a short while to show the main screen after switching on. As font size is increased, the spaces between words increase, which is annoying.
