If I had to pick, I would say the light has a slight bluish tint from white. I haven’t yet seen a shadow or a discoloration. Reading in a variety of lighting and orientations, I have have used the front light at all levels. A fairly nice position for turning on/off the Prime using your index finger, really annoying position if you are using a cover (unless the case has a hole cut in it) Power button is on the back in the upper right corner. The nice thing is that you really don’t need to use the sensor button that often, so I tend to forget it is there. It really isn’t a button that you hit and move on to something else, it is more a put your finger on it for a second or two to register then move on. I am less pleased with the sensor button at the bottom. On the other hand, with most software I have seldom had to hit the button twice to actually make the page flip. Just holding the device (one handed) even if my fingers are on the button very seldom does it flip the page. For me the force needed to press the button is fairly good. Instead the buttons travel from the front to the back. From the various pictures I had come to the conclusion that movement of the buttons went from the side toward the middle, in other words squeeze the device to turn the page. The side buttons were kind of a shock to me. In normal handholding, you don’t hear or feel any flex. If you grab opposite corners and bend you get a little flex, but surprising little. Probably not a surprise to anyone, the Prime is mostly plastic. I can easily grip the Prime, fingers on one side, thumb on the other and still be able to use the buttons. Your mileage may vary but for me the size of the Prime is a great match of the size of my hand. This means that gravity is working against me, which I have discovered more than once when my android tablet has slid out of my fingers and crashed into my face. the place I do most of my reading is in bed. While I do read a lot sitting in a chair, riding in a car, etc. I am going to try and not cover the same ground and really just add in bits and pieces here and there.įor me one of the biggest criteria on selecting a eReader is the ergonomics on holding the device. Where to start? I would recommend you pop over to and read Nathan’s various posts on the Inkbook Prime. I have spent thousands of hours tweaking eBooks using Calibre, Jutoh and sometimes the raw HTML. I have converted books from paper, text, and HTML into eBooks. Over the 15 years and 10 devices I have read close to a thousand books electronically, a 60-40 split between fiction and nonfiction throwing in a couple of dozen computer related technical books. The light turned on, figuratively speaking since the PRS-T1 doesn’t have one, and I remembered why I liked the e-ink devices. I recently ran across my old PRS-T1, and started reading a few books on it. While I enjoy the tablet for better surfing, the size, weight and glare resulted in not the best reading device. The browser and networking not being the most robust, I moved away from e-ink and switch to a Android tablet (~8.5 Inch size). The next jump was to the PRS-T1, to gain network capability. I moved on to e-ink starting with the Sony PRS-500, then made the jump to the PRS-505 to be able to use ePub instead of LRF. I began reading book on electronic devices back in the days of Pocket PC. If possible, please postpone for now the FW upgrade process of your devices.I like to start reviews by providing some information on my qualifications so you can judge if you want to listen to my opinions, if you don’t care about my background just skip ahead. We will immediately inform you about the further results of our internal tests. Arta Tech is in the middle of the new firmware evaluation process. We are also asking for your far-reaching consideration before updating the software on your devices. That is why Arta Tech recommends patience for all BOOX AfterGlow 2 and BOOX C67S Classic users. Some operations may cause conflicts with the originally designed interface. Our internal tests of BOOX C67S Classic running on 1.7.3 firmware has pointed out few problems: general slowdown of the device and various problems with the previously implemented software features. We already know that some of the features has been removed by ONYX International: support for bookstore, Midiapolis News Reader, Midiapolis Drive and quickDic dictionary. Because of this situation, updates were made independently by the producer, without any influence or feedback from Arta Tech. Due to the fact that Arta Tech Poland ceased the cooperation with ONYX International, the company couldn’t test the new version of the firmware (1.7.3) for both models earlier. ONYX International has launched firmware updates for two ebook readers: BOOX AfterGlow 2 and BOOX C67S Classic.
