Bebook Neo Review– Update 4 comments
I’ve come to like the Neo ereader, although it is a bit hard to go back to the smaller screen after using the DR800SG. Function wise, the Neo is comparably a very capable ereader – it is too bad we can’t do some sort of ereader mind meld. I had hoped to do some videos this weekend of the controls and maybe of the PDF handling on the Neo.
The control scheme on the Neo is quite good; you can even adjust the font size with a single click of the control rings. PDF’s can be zoomed and panned. And what’s more the Neo will remember your zoom setting between page turns on PDF’s, so there is no more tedious resetting of your zoom level from page to page.
Yes, I planned to update my Neo ereader reports and shoot some video this weekend. Unfortunately…
I have cracked the Neo’s screen.
I’m sure you too have had a few of those “OMG, I can’t believe I just did that please God let me wake up now I know this is just a bad dream” kind of moments before. Well … welcome to my latest bad toon.
I am currently waiting to hear back from Bebook with an RMA and the cost of replacing the screen.
My wife is not a happy camper.
“Camping??? What you talking about camping for? We don’t have any money left for camping! Maybe you better go camping in 
the backyard for a while!”
Looking at things from the “Well, the aquarium is still half full” point of view as I slowly and methodically begin banging my head against the wall, I reflect on how I can now check out Bebook’s customer service.
‘And stop banging your head on that wall – we just had it painted!!”
