Super cool project. FYI it does require converting your ebooks to a special format.
I suspected as much since it’s using an Arduino Mega - very battery efficient I’m sure, but very underpowered.
Epub, the most popular format, is a fucking website, not very efficient. And it even allows the author to set font size and stuff, i mean, use a pdf then.
Except that a PDF isn’t dynamic. You’d be locked to whatever the page/text ratio was on every unique screen size. Not to mention all of the accessibility you lose because you can’t use a dyslexia-friendly font or increase the font size for bad eyesight.
That’s all before we get into the performance hits. EPUB certainly has its place in the market.
Yeah, i mean, why does the author need to be able to influence styling that much in a fucking ebook? That’s why, use a pdf then, if you want to force styling that much.
Btw, there’s FictionBook. But some find it too limited?
It’s called paper?
I want a scheme for one with all the buttons. Gimme tactile!
Okay this is so fucking cool.
I still kick myself for not getting one of the first Kindle models that had free 3(4?)G built in.
I don’t think it was free, you still had to pay for data
No, it was free. Not really usable for web browsing given abysmal performance of Kindle Keyboard, but 100% free.
Fuck you i won’t do what you tell me
