The Forgotten E-Book Reader: OLPC

• jesseendahl 15y ago
  The problem with the OLPC is that the UI (Sugar) is absolutely terrible. Unless it's improved since 2008, which is the last time I tried it.

    Exactly, which is why using the copy-to-journal script is a relief. The UI of the Read app itself, though, is very nice, and I've enjoyed reading both pdfs and epubs using it.

    Also, you can't buy them anywhere (except EBay). Probably why they've been forgotten by most people.

      It's strange they got rid of "Give One, Get One", since most people would never have seen one otherwise. The foundation is trying to find people willing to write and contribute apps for it, yet it's hard to actually get your hands on one.
