Ah, close. "Perhaps it would be a better idea if we looked for strong keys. In fact, why not look for THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE KEY. Then we could all standardize on it."

< abudhabi>
So.
14:07
< abudhabi>
I want to get myself some sort of long-battery-life document reader gizmo.
14:09
<@TheWatcher>
I've heard there's these things called "Books" that people claim have near-infinite battery lives. Nor sure I believe it myself~
14:09
< abudhabi>
I want to be able to read arbitrary files (restriction on format is not really an issue, I can have stuff converted, but being able to read PDFs would be very good), not being restricted to some kind of proprietary content store.
14:09
< abudhabi>
TheWatcher: I have a few of those. They're bulky and expensive.
14:09
< abudhabi>
Not to mention have hard-coded content.
14:09
<@TheWatcher>
More seriously though, IME all PDF reading on any non-desktop device is shit.
14:10
< abudhabi>
Then any proper ebook format. These things are convertible in a million ways.
14:12
< abudhabi>
I had a tablet, but that's not specialized, slow as shit (the one I had, at least) and I accidentally sat on it.
14:12
<@TheWatcher>
I've heard good things about the Kobo Auras
14:13
<@TheWatcher>
They apparently have hilariously long battery lives
14:13
< abudhabi>
Price range?
14:14 * abudhabi has used a GBA as an ebook reader during his university days. It was awful, but it worked.
14:15
<&ToxicFrog>
abudhabi: $100 CDN for the Aura.
14:15
<&ToxicFrog>
I was just researching this stuff after my Sony e-reader died and I needed a replacement.
14:15
<&ToxicFrog>
The Touch 2.0 is $90, but those $10 in savings are not worth it, you lose a lot relative to the Aura.
14:16
<&ToxicFrog>
I went with the Glo HD, which is $130; capabilities are similar to the Aura, but it has a nicer UI for operating the lighting and a better screen.
14:17
<&ToxicFrog>
If you want something you can kick around a bit more, the Aura H2O is water- and dust-resistant and has a high res screen, but you'll be paying an extra $50 relative to the Glo and it's too big to fit comfortably in a pocket.
14:19
< abudhabi>
Hmm. I'll consider these, if I can find any used ones for half price or something.

<&ToxicFrog>
For PDFs specifically, they will read PDFs and support zoom, pan, and landscape mode, but won't reflow.
14:19
< abudhabi>
reflow?
14:19 orth [orthianz@Nightstar-6ntg3u.xtra.co.nz] has joined #code
14:19
<&ToxicFrog>
It won't reformat the text to fit on the e-reader screen.
14:20
<&ToxicFrog>
It renders the page exactly as it appears in the PDF and your only options for controlling that are zoom and orientation.
14:21
<&ToxicFrog>
Compare the Sony PRS-* readers, where you can detach the text from the PDF typesetting and it'll (usually, it chokes on some files) act like a normal ebook with some wonky paragraph breaks.
14:21
< abudhabi>
Well, I'm used to not being able to reflow PDFs on a desktop.
14:22
<@TheWatcher>
desktop dispays tend to be larger >.>
14:22
<&ToxicFrog>
Yeah, you need it less on a 22" screen than you do on a 6" one.
14:22
<&ToxicFrog>
That said, it's usually "good enough", and 99% of my books are in epub or something convertable to epub anyways.
14:23
<&ToxicFrog>
As far as content store stuff goes, you need to log in during setup (either with a Kobo account, or something that does oauth to it like Google or Facebook), but having done so there are no restrictions on sideloading books or using it offline.

<@gnolam>
I'm pretty happy with my H2O so far.
15:29
<&ToxicFrog>
I considered the H2O, but being able to fit my e-reader in my pocket rather than my backpack is a pretty big draw for me.
15:29
<&ToxicFrog>
Bigger than having one I can take into the shower.
15:31
<@gnolam>
Well, it fits in both my regular and suit jacket pockets.
15:35
<&ToxicFrog>
The Glo HD just barely fits in my pants/shorts side pockets. The Aqua might fit in my coat pockets, but that doesn't help except in the winter.

I can see why PDF aren't normally editable.
22:13
< abudhabi>
This bolded text is literally two fonts layered on top of one another to give the appearance of boldening.
22:14
<@TheWatcher>
PDF documents aren't normally editable because they're an output format, primarily designed for printing and ensuring the same formatting regardless of platform.
22:16
< [R]>
IIRC they just encapsulate postscript, and add some multimedia and attack-vector components.
22:19

I'm dealing with it, somehow. This is like the cross section of the worst problems of raster and vector editing.
