Dear God,
It actually takes some ‘getting used to’ to get comfy with the K3 mostly, because it is keypad-driven. To bring up numbers, you press ‘Sym’. The latency is palpable. Also, it takes a while to bring up the numbers on the screen. And so you cannot hurry through the numbers especially if you are keying in sensitive information such as passwords.
On a lighter note, my sister was taken aback when she noticed stars as she typed the password….:-)
So that’s that…reading is still a pleasure especially when on the bog. The Experiments tab on the Menu is perfect for research while in there! I looked up YouTube. It didn’t work, required a flash player. So I clicked ‘ok’ to download it. The download didn’t work either; it was incompatible with my palmtop. Ok, so let’s check my favourite site, Wikipedia. Beautiful!!!!! Imagine reading up Wikipedia anywhere now including on the bog, Outstanding! Some things in life are truly priceless!
The view of a book is singular. Magnification is extreme – the fonts are too small or too big. When expanded, the corners of a page are sliced. One USB port and no Bluetooth. Free e-books and Project Guttenburg have good, free titles to choose from.
A friend suggested opening an account in Dropbox so she could lend books that she’d downloaded. I am yet to do that, will soon. Also, I need to pick up the K3 folder but the Frugal ‘me’ forbids for now.
In all, the K3 is an EXCLUSIVE book reader. The missing touch features give you the impression of holding the book. If you want music to play while reading up, turn your music system on. If you want to browse with ease, use your laptop. Imagine the scope of real-estate management if all books in the world were converted to the K3.
A great buy…I love you, K3!
