Yes, answer me, people. Especially previously oasis. My birthday is overwhelming, but I don’t understand whether to give myself a present. On the one hand, it lives very well with STK, on ​​the other, I really miss life "with a card for a bunch of gigs and a fb2 reader" ... On the third, I like very oasis ergonomics, and it’s scary that the Form will disappoint ...

very oasis ergonomics like

If everything works and suits, then nahua experiments? o.O

* Pofiguist, so I said what hua - I want everything the same, but a) with a normal file tree and b) with fb2. On Kobe, Vlasovsoft is installed Kulrider, Corridor is possible, etc. That's all hua. In Oasis, in addition to ergonomics and the Send that Kindle - compared to, say, Android buns, it’s not exactly right



Rep: (16)
* Bulkinper JB solves this. Although Kobo, personally to me, is more like than the Kindles.

At 7 "Oasis it is not.

I decided and left Kobo Form
All the same, the best black font for this model is yes
With the rest I was tormented and strained by grayness - I twisted almost all models
The only thing that was in the past is Kindle Voyage - but there is a small screen
And here everything is as it should
With pleasure I began to read again
But the second time this decided. In the first order, I immediately did not like the backlight and I sold, the buyer is satisfied and I am not
Well, with the second lucky - everything is fine

What a heartbreaking story. : drag: Onyx note pro, where 10 inches of the screen and backlight - will you buy? )

how was it different?

There was unevenness on the bend on the right side

There was unevenness on the bend on the right side
Is it about a bluish strip from the side of the button block or something else?



Rep: (67)
* SHELLS,
not...
... I remember how it was shining brightly, and even the type of light was visible
Well, I didn’t like it, but on eBay the shopper is happy as an elephant
don’t know - maybe I was so picky - but the eye immediately saw a mess and I quickly packed back



Rep: (95)
* maclex , clearly, in general, the band is in all copies, as before.

* SHELLS,
yes ... and in mine now it’s a little different and there is - but it doesn’t interfere and by adjusting the brightness you can achieve the ideal
but that instance was just awful



Rep: (95)
* maclex, Ok Write, if that - you have such a winding path in terms of selecting a suitable reader, which is already just curious)))



Rep: (67)
Here is a question from me - it is not clear
Upload .mobi via Caliber to Form
But here Russian books the same font and all - no different unhooks
.epub if that doodle is incomprehensible
I didn’t go into the topic - who can quickly explain?



Rep: (95)
Maclex @ 03/21/19, 16:31*
Upload .mobi via Caliber to Form
hardly anyone is engaged in such a perversion. .mobi is a proprietary format, there are shoals with it anyway, and even after Caliber, which is very notorious, even more so. Try kepab in the same caliber, or rather a normal converter:Library organization on PC / reader | PC Applications | fb2converter [Other]
BulkinPer @ 03/21/19, 02:35*
but in the list of supported Kob Form does not appear. How so?
no way:

BulkinPer @ 03/21/19, 02:35*
Or is it possible to climb onto the Corridor (which I have never tried) instead?
what native nickel does not suit you, can I find out?

Thanks, comforting. Usually, the list was supported in the installation, so I never climbed into the description for this.

Can. My Legacy is a big (very) tree with fb2 files.

If I were to return to the past, I would probably go with a mob or epub, maybe someday I’ll convert, but now we have what we have.

Nickel does not support either fb2 or wood. His collections, according to my recollections of H2O, are not particularly convenient, and in any case, overtaking my tree in them is a separate long hemorrhoids, involving a caliber, which I don’t like at all, and generally prefer optimal portability from reader to reader, if there’s no removable card, at least the file tree itself.

Well, and a trifle - paging settings, so far as I recall, are much less flexible than the cooler (yes, I am aware that the form has buttons;))

No, the aforementioned converter will easily do this. In epub or kepub, with the preservation of your folder structure, the only thing is if you have 100,500 files there, it will take time, computer. Flick throughtopic.
