electronic book readers with screen type E-Ink have gained a lot of popularity. Coming by bus, you will find that at least a few people kinda makes your time reading. Interestingly, fewer and fewer people use traditional paper editions. A new trend is e-book readers with backlit E-Ink screens that allow comfortable reading even after dark. We tested five of the most interesting devices, including the popular Kindle Paperwhite II. Let’s see, which one to choose.
Shining screen
Electronic paper in terms of properties like traditional printed publications. Unfortunately, the E-Ink screens are much darker than the paper. The contrast of the text is therefore smaller. This does not change the fact that this is currently the best way to read electronic editions. To improve the ease of reading the producers have released a device with illuminated screens. Self backlight E-Ink is fragile, however, allows to obtain high contrast, and most importantly to read in the dark. In this test, three readers have the function: PocketBook Touch Lux, Onyx Boox After Glow and Kindle Paperwhite II. It works similarly, but the most natural and pleasant to the eye color of a Kindle. PocketBook Biel and Onyx is too cold.
difference between shining and niepod?wietlonym screen is enormous. Kindle Paperwhite II resembles a traditional book, appeared on PocketBook Mini is yellowed. Using the fingerprint reader requires good lighting.
Service
Also only these three models have a touch screen. If we count on a comfortable service, it is a necessary part of every reader. In terms of convenience distinguished Kindle. It has the most thoughtful and intuitive interface. There is not even a button for menu operation, yet all we can do very quickly. The only problem is the lack of Polish language. This model is not officially available on the market.
most functional interface can be found in PocketBook Touch Lux. It is useful, for example, the ability to switch between running in the background functions (multi-tasking). Both PocketBook and Onyx have physical buttons for paging through. This is a convenient solution. PocketBook models Mini, and Manta EBOOK04B serve buttons. Interfaces both models are transparent, but in the case of the Manta location of the keys is not considered.
Downloading e-books
All readers can be connected to your computer and copy e-books on the internal memory. However, this is not convenient. In addition to the Kindle tested models also have a memory card slot – use miniature microSD card is slightly better option. The most convenient way, however, to use an Internet connection. Users Onyx and PocketBook Touch Lux can buy books directly through the online bookstore reader. Kindle also, but Amazon store does not have Polish language items. Much more interesting are the functions of storing e-books in the Internet cloud, a sufficient reason to the reader has Wi-Fi module.
For Lux Touch PocketBook e-books can be stored on disk online Dropbox, Onyx supports Google Drive and SkyDrive. A slightly different, more convenient approach is to Amazon. Kindle Paperwhite II uses the Amazon cloud. To send an e-book to your device, just send an e-mail to the address assigned during registration to our reader. Amazon Cloud also supports converting files. After sending a message with the subject convert the attached file format: DOC, DOCX, HTML, RTF, TXT, JPEG,. JPG, GIF, BMP, PDF reader get an acceptable document AZW.
course to comfortably use a reader, you can use the tools to facilitate the synchronization. BuddyPrice Send to Kindle or more universal application Readbility allow you to send to the reader, for example, an article from a web page directly from the browser.
Manta has low resolution and errors in displaying shades of gray. Kindle Compared with image quality is poor.
Additional Features
main function tested e-book is to display electronic books. However, manufacturers equip their devices with other, sometimes more, sometimes less interesting features. If you like to read foreign-language literature will appreciate the English-Polish dictionary (PocketBook Touch Lux, Onyx Boox After Glow), may be useful to the notebook and Web browser. Games, music player or RSS reader is a superfluous add-ons much more suitable to your smartphone than e-book reader.
Power
Readers with backlit draw more current than without. Amazon promises that the new Kindle allows 28 hours of continuous reading. PocketBook Touch Lux should be enough to read 30 books, and Onyx for a few weeks of use. Non-illuminated displays draw current only when you refresh – PocketBook Mini allows you to view 8000 pages.
Conclusionwas the best reader PocketBook Touch Lux. It has a backlit display and functional interface. Popular Kindle overcomes support for Polish buyers. The winner of awards Price / Quality is also a product PocketBook – Mini. It’s the cheapest reader test.
