Best E reader

Incredible enjoyable and sharp. I don't understand how or why anyone would try to argue with that.

Here are more examples that the naked eye can see. You can clearly see from the cropped image that there is heavy fringing. My phone is not defective. This is how it is.

mrspeedmaster, I guess my post went over your head. You didn't address a single thing I posted.

Allow me to try again. Nobody said "Incredible has the best highest res display ever". I have no idea why you are going around saying hey everybody you're all wrong, something else has higher res screen. You are trying to counter a point that was never made.

Just about everyone who reads books on the device is satisfied. Your attempts to tell them that they are somehow wrong for being satisfied are pointless.

You also quoted my point about how OLED can be considered better for reading than LCD because of backlighting differences. You tried to provide a rebuttal to a comment about light and eye strain by talking about something completely unrelated?
 
I am not saying that everyone is wrong. They can be satisfied with their INC.

I am not talking about other higher res screen. Someone made the comment that the DINC's screen is so sharp, it is better than retina display. Well, I said, they're wrong and they are going to set-them up for a disappointment if they think that.

No, I am saying OLED (in the DINC) implementation is flawed regardless of the backlight advantage. The Clarity difference will effect the reading for extended periods of time; despite the backlight advantages.

I misquoted you when I should have quoted your previous paragraph:

The fact is, AMOLED screens work extremely well as a text reader. Anyone would be able to read a book comfortably for extended periods of time on it without any complaints

My rebuttal is no. Because of the inherent display problem. Color fringing will cause problems for extended reading. But back to my original rebuttal with the other poster.

The DINC is fine when you are comparing it something older. But in comparison to the newer phones on the market, it falls a bit short.

If people are happy with the current implementation and are happy fine. But, you should note, there are many people that think there are issues with the screen.
 
It seems there is an argument over a matter of opinion. I read on my omnia for hours in a row, Freda's advantage, i believe, comes from using a black background with white text. I do not care if ebooks look better on the evo. I'm not getting the EVO!!!! Just wanna know what the best reader is, (or at least the OPINION'S), according to the community.
 
I use FBReader. It is free and it can read mobi format. I have a Kindle as well and many of my books are in mobi format (mobipocket). I liked Aldiko but file support is too limited, no mobi support. I have no desire to have 3 different formats. I find the Incredible fine to read with. I only use it for reading though when I do not have my Kindle.
 
Aldiko only reads .epub. The paid version is identical to the free version as far as anyone knows, it's just a way to support the developer. Try the free program Calibre to convert most non-DRM book formats to .epub. Once you know how to do the conversions, the selection of books a reader "comes with" will be irrelevant, unless you absolutely have to download directly to your phone for some reason.

In most cases Aldiko wants the books to be copied to ebooks/import on your card. Then use the import option in the menu.

I was wondering if anyone would mention the Kindle, or Nook, or Sony for that matter. If you're going to read for hours without being tethered to power e-ink, IMO, is the only way to go.

It's all a matter of individual taste. I like carrying only one device, myself, and the extended battery lasts all day. If I was going back-country hiking for a week I'd probably have to look at another solution. ;)
