Giving such device to active reader for few minutes is usually enough to see him with his own book reader next week. Personally I was early adopter and started quite an epidemic among my friends and colleagues. Truth is you can’t make valid decision about ebook reader until you had read few pages of text from one. Well, hands are free and can be used instead of hammer to hit nails. People who bash book reader prices ($250 and up depending on region, brand and model) complain that mobile phones (or whatever) are cheaper and can also be used to read books. It really is like paper that learned to change what’s on it. There is no flickering or blinding under sun rays.
At the time I wrote the review I had owned the inkBOOK for less than 2 weeks, I wanted a little more time to experiment, test and use the inkBOOK before finalizing the review.
Text looks like it was printed on plastic. It was pointed out to me that my review on the inkBOOK really didn’t have a conclusion, i.e. Meaning it’s times better than anything devices with LCD screens can offer. Reading experienceĮqual to reading mid-level (with slightly gray paper) book. Aside from internal choice of fonts you can also copy to reader and use any TTF font you want (just grab NexusFont and look through fonts Windows has, I use Verdana). Text size and even font can be customized. Basically device is fine with pure text but has trouble interpreting and scaling complex markup.
INKBOOK REVIEW PDF
Best performing are TXT, RTF and FB2, worst performing are PDF and HTML. Which is good because early version sucked and crashed repeatedly.
INKBOOK REVIEW UPDATE
Firmware is easy to update and actively developed with new versions around every other month. Softwareĭevice runs under Linux with custom interface.
INKBOOK REVIEW PC
It connects to PC and charges via USB but with 1.1 standard it is easier to take SD card out (my model had it bundled) and use card-reader to drop books on it.īattery life is roughly enough for reading 6-8 books with large font (larger font equals more page turns and so more battery spent). Hardware set is suspiciously close to mobile phone (as are 0-9 button controls) so this may very well be one – repurposed for reading and e-ink screen.Ħ” screen is too big to fit in pocket (I think that 4” devices like Nokia N810 are limit for that) but is still easy to handle.
INKBOOK REVIEW SOFTWARE
