Readlang looks really good. I am all set-up with Firelang on Firefox now, otherwise I would be tempted to switch. The export option for SRS looks really useful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I had a play with Readlang last night. It certainly looks useful.
I'm going to stick with Firelang for now, as it does much the same for me, for web browsing, using Firefox. If I was using Chrome as a browser Readlang would definitely be the way to go. For reading ebooks, especially on a table/pc, the Readlang would be great.

You can use Adobe Digital Editions for reading DRM e-books on your computer. The main benefit of e-readers is sparing your eyes (if you get one with an eInk screen). There are numerous other e-reader brands that aren't associated with a specific shop and support more than one format. I recently got an Onyx :) I used to struggle a lot with eye infections before getting an e-reader. I really don't recommend reading entire books etc from your computer screen. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Does the Onyx support German-English dictionaries?
Not e-ink, but amazon is currently having a sale on the 7" Kindle Fire HDX for 100 euro. Another issue I have with the e-ink amazon kindle is the size - 6" is too small, I would prefer something bigger. Is there a bigger e-ink tablet which supports dictionaries? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

The Onyx look really nice. Perhaps for my e-reader No. 5! I feel really old saying this, but I was once shown around the labs at MIT and told by an excited postdoc about this new thing they had developed called e-ink that would allow department stores to have a changeable posters. Less than 10 years later the first Amazon Kindle came out. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Your Google FOO is weak: Onyx FAQ ;)
The Kindle used to come out with a larger e-ink display. You could probably still pick that up on Ebay if you look around. However, I can tell you with some confidence after having read tens of thousands of pages that 6 inch displays work well. Serpent is correct: Eink is much easier on your eyes in the long term.

The 10 inch eink Onyx BOOX M96 Universe tablet is looking very tempting. Edited by Gemuse on 25 November 2014 at 4:25am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||
