    I’m still pretty surprised I’m reading a number of books this way. At least the font size is adjustable, and it works fine during power outages :)

    Also, turning on the “use volume buttons to go forward and back” makes it a one-handed small reading device, while preparing to snooze @ night. Quite handy!
