yes

I hv a frd who bought it, tried it and its much better and just abt the right comfort level for the eye

(I use a ASUS Fonepad, and also tried again ipads and Kindle fires)

i found that even when adjusting for lower brightness levels for the other tablet devices, paperwhite is still more comfy

the only downside to paperwhite for me is that in terms of reading pdf file reports (with charts etc), paperwhite looks little weird to me

but if you're mostly reading novels (ie words only), worth a try

haha i m thinkg to buy for reading pdf. but yes, my readings are mostly words. numbers are not my fd.

princessea: then give it a try, the device is primarily designed to read word-only stuff anyway, personally i think it does this job pretty well

just dont play games with it

pdf no go

mcgabe: 一定要睇齋字

yes need native format

um. cuz keep reading on ipad hurt my eyes.

pdf on kindle pretty much look like this: kindle touch上看pdf檔

oops...

yes so forget reading pdf on kindle

thankssss!!!!!!

but text on kindle is great

因為在下要睇有好鬼多圖嘅pdf file，所以最終揀咗千七銀fonepad，因為係貨美所以係全街最平（大六嘢買唔落手）

haha so it's still useful if i make a word copy fr those pdf...

princessea: 其實唔係用邊種file嘅關係，係佢根本出唔到啲圖

and amazon provide you a email, you can send text to it and it will show on kindle

齋字少好多呢啲問題

um. oh, so if i only hv to read words. and i can convert pdf to txt... then there's no prob?

yes

iPad accessibility 可著 invert color，變黑底白字

highlightable?

唔係份份 pdf 可轉 txt，有時啲 text flow 仲會錯晒

chiunam T ya, sometimes i turned that too... but kinda werid feelings. haha.

highlight text? yes, but 3x slower than doing it on ipad type of tablet

oh yes, i kn... just some...

oh ic... 3x slower... ipad aldy not that fast...

kindle paperwhite highlight唔掂

dustlessworkshop: 係唔係都係press中間制, press hard key 去 start highlight再select?

thanks muchie all for the advice... i prob shud drop the idea...

mcgabe: 我覺得咁樣幾煩

dustlessworkshop: 一樣 la haha

princessea: 佢齋睇書真係算C服，不過functionality就爭啲

portable 睇 pdf take notes etc，應該都係 iPad 比較好。

as i said, its primary function is designed to read word only stuff

you want complicated things, it fails on most fronts

chiunam: ipad太重且貴

我部kindle有80%時間係用來睇instapaper ( tool for saving web pages to read later)

係 pdf 呢個 format 大食兼麻煩，根本唔啱 portable device 用，雖則 pdf 個 p 係 portable

chiunam T yes sometimes i hate pdf so much.

haha. 同埋圖多就算係ipad開, 都有機會慢

haha. actually i truly feel my ipad is SLOW in opening pdf files...

試過 ipad air，已經輕咗好，但同 kindle 冇得比

i m using ipad mini actually. that's lighter.

princessea: 呢樣真，除非你下下都clean cache咗先開ipad睇pdf

有同事都買左，只用來睇中文海盜版書

chiunam: ipad air要retina display新版先好睇啲，用舊版睇我睇到啲英文字粒起角，頂五信

princessea 你用咩 app 開 pdf？

i can still think abt kindle... cuz now those journals mostly do offer pdf/word for dl

mostly goodreader

goodreader唔得

what's better option? can highlight and save as annotated copy

I found goodreader is too bulky, i use PDF expert instead

PDF expert x2

thanks both! haha lemme dl

實情係，自從發現android有個叫pdf viewer嘅app之後已經好少用IOS類機睇pdf

i dun see i will hv a android device in near future.

princessea: 咁你如果齋睇書可以諗下kindle，其他嘢ipad做番

查實而家的tablet類係咪無乜all-round機？

PDF on kindle 的問題是畫面太細而市面大部份 PDF 係 A4 。用 Kindle 看要左 scroll 右 scroll 。
