Default A little of review

This is a review of mine. First off, thought it's a problem, sometime I experienced bad control sequence that the page always went back when I suddenly take the eSlick and press the Navigator buttom down. This case seems occur when an e-book is open and be waiting for a while for later navigation.

And, it's good generally. It's easy to hold the eSlick in one hand and read. The display doesn't glisten, and reading can be done under natural light source.

Flipping a page make the operation indicator lighten awhile, and if you do not flip frequently the eSlick may be on about one day. There's an option to select sleep mode, ranging from several minites, an hour, to never auto off.

Display is not as large as to fit a general paper. However, the display is easy to take a view scope of a document. And the eSlick lists acceptable file formats, and listed items can be one-click open or play. It does not list wide-character named files and non-ducument files such as executable.

Buttons and menus are enough for operations in need. There's a continue reading item in the menu, that it is for me to keep in mind the e-book I'm reading.

Battery performance is normal. It discharges when flipping a page or playing music, thus the eSlick provide reading all afternoon and night or listening songs about two hours.

I have to emphesis the problem: suddenly mad behaviors of navigator buttons make me nervous. Think about the circumstance that you flip to the next page, and then you see a page prior than the previous page! And then, how to improve it? No way, because you press the navigator button down and then see some page more prior than what you've sawn. I think the navigator buttons need to be redisign.

Default Workaround

I've noticed this as well, but not as a software issue, but a physical design issue in the button - specifically, I can feel the 'click' is different when it misbehaves - as if two buttons were pressed instead of one.

I have had better luck so far pressing 'right' on the directional pad, which does the same as down in Portrait mode, or pressing 'down' (portrait 'left') on the pad when in Landscape, thus avoiding actually pressing the physical down portion of the pad.
