First impressions:
The reader I bought on eBay came to me from Canada on September 20th to replace my old Kindle 4 (non-touch). In the official store Kobo eReader Store, the date of the sale was postponed all the time, sales started on September 6 (if I'm not mistaken), then postponed to mid-September, then to the 23rd, and at the time of this writing as the date Receipts for sale indicated September 30, 2016
What can it say? Either they have a flurry of orders and they do not have time to produce a sufficient number of readers, or in the first installments (and therefore, in my reader too) there were some shoals that need to be corrected before continuing production.

So, what shoals did I find:
  • The screen is slightly yellower on top than on the bottom. The gradient is smooth and almost imperceptible, smooth transition across the entire height of the screen. Observed when the backlight is on.
  • When the backlight is on, there is a very small bright dot on the screen. And, as I understand it, not on the screen itself, but on the front surface of the reader. Apparently, the defect of this matte surface from the inside. When the backlight is turned off, the point is not visible absolutely at any angle, even at the light. It does not distract from reading, if you do not remember about it :)
  • For some reason I can not connect to two Wi-Fi access points. Networks are visible, but an error occurs when connecting. It is curious that connects to other networks without problems.
  • When turned off (not in sleep mode, namely off), the Natural Light setting is not saved, i.e. backlight color temperature. I think it will be corrected in the following firmware. Fixed in firmware 4.1.7729.
  • I would like a smoother adjustment of the color temperature of the backlight using the buttons on the sides of the slider (similar to adjusting the brightness). Now the adjustment step is too big, uncomfortable to use.

Now about the pleasant - about the merits.
  • Reader weight. I thought it would be harder, but no - it is lighter than my Kindle 4 in its original backlit cover.
  • The screen does not collect fingerprints, which made me very happy. At first I thought that the prints would interfere with reading. Other surfaces of the reader are also unmarked.
  • Water resistant :) I don’t know if it’s really useful to me, but the sensations after removing a working reader from the water tank are pretty funny. By the way, water is poured directly into the case and when it comes out it starts flowing out of the micro USB port. From the cracks also oozing.
  • The backlight is continuously adjustable over a wide range. If you put on 1%, then in normal lighting it is not even visible that it is on, but the contrast becomes great.

Feedback will be supplemented and refined.

Vadeus, I read the description, and here it is as:

That is, problems arise with .mobi, .epub, .fb2 ... And, I almost forgot! fb2 only uncompressed supported



Therefore, I repeat the question - what about fb2 ???

what with fb2?

Means
fb2 supports only uncompressed, .fb2.zip - the reader no longer understands.

Judging by the other Kobo, fb2 read crookedly (no content, no footnotes, etc.).

fb2 reads, hyphens and footnotes do not work. Content - is. Unfortunately, the implementation curve is enough: if in the fb2 file immediately after the tag<body>there is no tag<title>then the further text is shown in gray. There are no problems with files downloaded from flibusta, but there are some problems with books purchased in online stores like "Ghost Worlds". Everyone has to manually edit.

By the way, another bug showed up. If you leave Wi-Fi on, then from time to time (every few days) the reader enters an infinite synchronization cycle and drops the battery to zero. At the same time, it is impossible to disable synchronization in the settings - the next time you check in, the check mark remains in place, as if it was not touched. Saves turning off Wi-Fi. So we are waiting for the firmware update.

Got my book. After dancing with the registration (she didn’t see the Internet at all), and downloading the update, I made a folder for books at the root, threw up what I wanted to read. The book rebooted, showed everything I uploaded to it. A few minutes to adjust the screen and everything - I sit reading :)

Overall satisfied. The screen is gorgeous, without defects. The sensor is excellent. Reading management is intuitive. There is certainly something with which I have not yet figured out, but I’m obviously going to sell the old Cleopatra as superfluous :)

By the way, in comparison with it, the size and weight of the readers is almost one to one, but on the aura the screen is much larger.

Not stated there is this. In "What's new?" some improvements regarding working with Overdrive are mentioned and that's it. But perhaps there is a correction, it is too early to talk about it.
Of the improvements I noticed: now after turning it off and on, the Natural Light setting is saved. The work of the sensor has improved, now you need to aim less carefully.

As far as I know, officially in the Russian Federation none of the Kobo readers are supplied. Everything sold here is gray imports. And it is unlikely that something will change, it is rather difficult to sell electronics in the Russian Federation.

I bought from Canadians here:https: //www.chapters.i...e&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0(prices are shown in Canadian dollars), but since they don’t send them to Russia, I asked them to send them to my friends in the states, and they sent me from there ...
With all the dances and two shipments cost $ 210 + $ 30

I came to resurrection for 20 sput.

In the book so far, apart from the Web browser, there are no additional programs.
I made a patch to the patch from metazoa that patches the Russian keyboard. Can be downloaded fromthe-book.org

So the question was how many lines (on your device, with your settings) you have on the screen, and not what my vision. I am sure that people who do not see well near are reading with glasses, and people who do not see well in the distance far away will not keep the screen of the book. So the quality of vision does not affect this.
