Reading pdb files on nook

Also, adding notes, highlighting, and the dictionary functions don't work with PDF files. The color LCD section uses the same technology as the iPhone.

This allows for touchscreen navigation through menus, annotating, highlighting, page-turning, and typing in searches with an on-screen keyboard. The LCD screen dims after 10, 30, or 60 seconds of inactivity, whichever you choose.

And the screen brightness is adjustable too. The touch sensitivity takes some getting used to at first. It requires very specific types of tapping and swiping to register. To turn pages, brush the surface of the screen as light as possible. Any slight pressure and it won't work. Overall, the touchscreen's most prominent feature is showing color book covers, which works quite well. They say you can't judge a book by its cover. But I disagree. You can tell a lot from a cover, most specifically what genre it belongs too, and that makes browsing through them somewhat easier.

For reasons unknown, some ebooks tend to work better than others for these three features, and some plain don't work at all, despite them all being in EPUB format. Regardless, highlighting, note-taking, and the dictionary are all very slow to use and not very effective even when they do work properly. The cursor is simply too slow and jumpy; it would take 2 minutes to get to a word at the bottom-right of the screen. It would take me forever to convert all the books since I have so many of them.

I've been reading eBooks since I will bear that in mind though, 'cos I've been thinking about it. Last edited by langshipley; at PM. Reason: Added more content. Originally Posted by langshipley.
