But I am not disappointed with the Actionbook. The build quality is excellent. The machine is actually made by Kapok of Taiwan and is identical to their model 1100. Not a big deal, really. Viewing angle is good, but not great.
Text looks best on a white or blue background.
Since the screen is 800x600 pixels, the standard 80x25 text mode must be expanded to fill the screen. The expansion makes the font look a little strange, but it's still very readable. Under Linux, it is possible to use a 100x37 character mode. The 100x37 mode utilizes the full 800x600 pixels and therefore has a clear font. On par with my K6-300 desktop.
