Our own cool-er forum - how cool is that! Thanks to the forum moderators and everyone else who helped make this happen.
I'll look forward to hearing everyone else's experiences and tips about their cool-er ereaders.
regards,
Pamela
Wooo-Hooo!!
Great going - this should make tracking down that Cool-ER related info much easier!
Yeah its very good news! Especially since alot of the Cool-er info has been buried deep in long threads.
Amy
Well done to Amy and the mods. Never thought I'd say that, ha!

This is good news! And this is why I love the forums here they are not afraid to add new sections upon request.
Thanks Mods!
FInally! I've asked for this Section since i knew the forums.
i wonder when there will be community to customise the Cool-er classic's software.
Look forward to be able to milk the protential of the device.
Just purchased the Cool-ER. It appears to have been updated and seems to work OK. Uploaded a couple of books in Mobi format and they seem fine. As this device is no longer manufactured, this forum is a welcome lifeline - very little info came with the reader. Is there any contrast adjustment - can't find any? Any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there is one.
It is a rather simple hardware, and there aren't that many shades of black/gray it can display.
Bit of trivia: (cold) temperature can affect the display, it "fades out" while cold. (So far, I didn't notice any permanent effect, so it doesn't seem to harm the display.)
