A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

I was given a book under the Christmas tree, and if at first I was skeptical about the gift, now, to be honest, I’m already thinking where to put my entire bookcase with all its contents, because it seemed to be no longer needed. I didn’t read paper books for a whole month (this hasn’t happened since I learned to read) and, frankly, I don’t understand why people buy books in paper now. There is no difference with reading from the screen, so it seems that there is a significant amount of free…

Pros
  • 1) An unlimited number of books that can be uploaded inside! 2) Backlight allows you to read in the dark. 3) The battery has not sat down even once since January 2 (I leave a review on January 28) 4) Touch control - convenient, I do not use buttons. 5) The screen is super-duper, the eyes do not get tired of it at all.
Cons
  • No

Excellent product, the best quality.

By chance, while visiting, I saw that the owner of the house (an extremely wealthy person) uses a reader. Of course, I don’t remember his brand-model, but I remember that the book was very battered, all shabby and very old) It turned out that this was his faithful companion on business trips, traveling with his family and on weekend evenings in a country house. After that, I also decided that I wanted a reader so that: a) I didn’t spoil my eyes by reading on the phone, b) nothing distracted…

Pros
  • - light - comfortable to hold with one hand - light - many options on how to transfer books + synchronizes with the application on iOS and Android. Super! - nice screen, like reading a book - backlight, adaptive screen temperature - autonomy - I use it for several days, the balance is about 85%, with three that it was not 100 out of the box)
Cons
  • - speed of work: after modern phones it seems sooo slow. Then you really get used to it) the book also takes time to leaf through) - sometimes tupits and reboots. Especially when you actively poke something and at the same moment there is synchronization. I hope they fix it with firmware, because the model is new - Poor quality and packaging. Case separately +1500 (but in terms of quality and appearance it is super. I recommend it!) -

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

Bought as a gift for an elderly person. One of the main reasons for choosing Pocketbook is the ability to remotely send books by mail. Well, in general, captivating appearance, ease of use and price. I didn’t want to take a reader from Amazon, because I wanted to be sure that I would send the book, and it would open without question on the reader without conversions and other gestures. Pocketbook is famous for its omnivorous nature. And yes, I like it more. Again, there are full-fledged keys…

Pros
  • inexpensive book with great functionality.
Cons
  • not found.

I'm a student and I think this is the best purchase I've ever made in my studies. I no longer carry these hefty books. Lectures are thrown here, and I also read in any convenient place. Works fast, there was not a single freeze. The ink is of high quality, the eyes do not hurt, they do not get tired. It's great that the sensor is here, and the buttons (mother can use it, she doesn't boom boom at all with modern technology))

Pros
  • Small, cheap, slick
Cons
  • No

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

As a result, the family tried to expropriate this book as well. Taught by previous experience, he decided to act proactively. I started looking for a new book. After the above described pluses, there was no desire to change the manufacturer. The search was conducted among the PocketBook models available for sale. In one of the stores, I even managed to find my 641 in the last copy. It turned out that this was a display case, which had not been removed from charging for a year and a half. The…

Pros
  • I have been using eBooks since 2022. Then I bought TeXet TB-116SE. It can still be used today. I read a lot and with enthusiasm. The book did not have a backlight, and I don’t remember that at that time there were books with built-in backlight at all. For reading in low light, I bought a clothespin lamp from PocketBook and was happy. Charging for the declared month was not enough, the reason for this is most likely the constantly burning indicator of the work of the book, but for a couple of weeks it worked freely. Separately, it is worth mentioning the "omnivorous" of that model. I didn't care what format the file was in. The book opened any formats with a certain degree of correctness. I had to measure the impossibility of changing the font (the size changed, but the font itself did not) and the inability to use footnotes. Turning pages took no longer than turning the pages of a paper book. I was happy and read almost every day. The book traveled with me by various modes of transport and worked both on the sea beach and in winter periods at sub-zero temperatures. In the spring of 2022, I managed to purchase the Gmini Magic Book Q6LHD. At a reasonable price, I managed to get a book on Android, with built-in backlight, Wi-Fi, touch screen, higher resolution and a new generation of electronic ink (E-ink Carta). First impressions - DELIGHT. Using the book has become more comfortable. With a large number of files, cataloging has become much more convenient. Now you can use footnotes, change the font, and not just its size. The built-in backlight was a delight and could be turned on by pressing a certain key by touch in the dark. The presence of Wi-Fi Internet browsers and other things was used several times for interest. The built-in Litres application pleased me for the first time. The name of the account is Litres and a fairly large library, I tried to use it.
Cons
  • But he soon recognized this as an unsuccessful experiment and was forced to abandon the applications and use the book for its intended purpose. Of the minuses, only the rapid discharge of the battery can be noted. With frequent use, including backlit, the book lasted a little more than a week. Further, the book was gradually expropriated from my family and I had to return to a simpler version, which, according to my family, could only be used by me. But it didn't seem so convenient to me either. In the spring of 2022, before home gatherings during the pandemic, my personal acquaintance with PocketBook took place. The choice fell on the dust- and moisture-proof model PocketBook 641. It should be noted that my previous books came out of the box with covers. It was very convenient and effective, including for protecting the device. PocketBook 641 did not have a cover in the kit, but in the hand, which is called “lay down”. It was this book that showed me what convenient cataloging, quick search, correct work of footnotes and why Wi-Fi books mean. The function to send a book by e-mail conquered me. Here is the service. At that moment, I regretted that I had not bought it earlier. Although not so long ago this function appeared, so everything has its time. Separately, I was pleased with the built-in backlight. Not the entire screen was lit up, as in the Gmini Magic Book, but the diode line around the perimeter of the screen illuminated it evenly. Plus, the brightness level could be lowered to such a level that it was possible to read, and the light from the screen did not interfere with the people next to you in the night compartment of the train. Charging is really enough for a conditional month with regular use. I didn’t throw the book into the water, but I took it to the beach without fear. Bought in haste cover with a magnetic lock disappointed. The magnet quickly broke, the edges of the case made of thick plastic began to crumble. I suffered for almost a year, until I found universal Vivacase cases (in particular VUC-CBK01-bl) with elastic fastening inside the case. Appearance and quality continue to delight to this day.

I wanted an inexpensive reader, but on a sensor. This one is probably the cheapest. Immediately bribed that there is Wi-Fi. I'm really out of the habit of transferring files via USB. The screen, although 6 inches, seems large enough, due to the rather thin frames. It's great that there are paging buttons, sometimes I let my grandfather use it, I can't slap the sensor on him yet) They flip quickly, books open quickly. The book is light.

Pros
  • Compact, cheap, good materials
Cons
  • No

You can write as much as you like on the Internet about the fact that e-books are an endangered gadget, that any tablet can do 10 times more, and so on and so forth. But this does not negate the fact that they take books for one thing - to read and they will always have their fans. I, for example. And they take them in order to read a lot and not experience pain and fatigue in the eyes. That's why I bought it.

Pros
  • The most important plus is that the eyes do not get tired. Last Saturday I read from 10 am to 2 am with breaks for meals. There is no fatigue at all. Usually I read less, but still, at least 3 hours a day. And my eyes are very sensitive. And this was a very important criterion. The second plus is the backlight. You can not use the lamp, the backlight does not eat away the eye, the effect is the same as from the lamp. The third plus is the battery. Easily holds three weeks. And sometimes more. It is convenient to flip through the pages, I do not use the buttons, only the sensor. Lots of different book cases.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Pros below: Probably the best option in terms of price / quality ratio. the rest is either much more expensive or much more buggy. Cons below: there were a couple of reboots, but compared to the operation of the Sony T1, it was practically without failures.

For the money, an excellent reader. Much faster than Onyxbook due to the use of linux and not andryukha. Touch control in today's readers is definitely top. The response is fast, the menu - even a granny can figure it out, the settings are dark. Wifi is connected, books fly back and forth, dropbox flickers. I stuck a flash drive with a huge library, you can even leave for the taiga. The backlight is awesome, the brightness / temperature, the battery almost does not eat, but there are many…

Pros
  • great reader for the price.
Cons
  • micro usb.

The right product for me, the price suited me.

An excellent replacement for the mountains of paper books, which I personally accumulated at an unrealistic speed in an unrealistic amount. It is easy to follow the library, it is easy to organize it. I have never regretted the transition to e-books, but Pocketbook is one of the best representatives of them in terms of speed and design. Nice to hold :) Got pros: An excellent reader, if you do not need a lot of functionality and often have to read on the road / on trips. Good size, long battery…

Excellent product, the best quality.

In principle, an inexpensive omnivorous reader! It is unlikely that there will be a format too tough for him! Small (fits in the palm of your hand), fast (reacts immediately to both the sensor and the buttons), high-quality, with a change in backlight temperature, a touch screen and WiFi! And most importantly, it all works as it should and for a long time! The charge is enough for at least three weeks, this is if you read 4 hours a day. There is even a browser that works as well as possible on…

Pros
  • very happy
Cons
  • They are not here

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

It is so cool) neatly lies in the hand, you really enjoy using this book. Has pros: I liked the book. Before that, I bought the same one (only Gold Edition already with a cover in the kit) for my son. The backlight is a really handy thing, you can read without turning on the light. The book is very light and handy. Its cons: As long as everyone likes it. I would also add something like protruding dots on the control buttons, so that it would be easier to tactilely detect them in the dark and…

I bought it simply because of the size. I wanted something no bigger than a phone. I'm tired of reading from my phone. I liked the auto-backlight, it works better than on my phone. She quickly opens books and flips through them. Build materials are good, it's nice to hold in your hands. Not squeaky, not rough, in general, a normal book for daily reading.

Pros
  • Cheap, compact, good contrast, backlight works fine.
Cons
  • The first setup could have been faster. Spent 5 minutes

This is my first e-book. Impressions are only positive. Trained myself to read. Lightweight, the weight is not felt, I have never charged it in a month. I read several small books. Before her, I downloaded and read books on my phone for several years. I felt sorry for the eyes. Yes, and the child went to school, and as you know, what is not in the library, that is, on the Internet. I decided to try an e-reader with an eye-safe screen. I opted for this one, because. I don't need any special…

Pros
  • Everything is fine, we are happy with the purchase.
Cons
  • So far so good, I hope it stays that way.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Good little book. I meant to write a review before I bought it but forgot. And now I have already read 17 books on it, I am finishing the 18th. Haven't read that much in a long time. Pros below: Good screen, I really like it. Like a book. You can read at night (I do not turn on the light so as not to wake my husband, and the child often wakes up, so I am rocking, but while I am rocking, I read). The battery is huge. I charge the phone every day, and the book - once every two weeks maximum. With

Terrible product, not worth your money absolutely!

Bought 628 3 days ago. During this time I read 2 books (protecting Jacob and the night in lonely October). And during these 3 days, she hung up 10 times. minutes until it "duplicates" and turns on after freezing. After the book itself turns off, when it is turned on, the backlight does not turn on. For some reason, the slider becomes "off" and you have to turn it on again constantly. Swipe pages work crookedly. As already mentioned here, with a CLEAR page swipe to the next, 1 out of 5 times, a…

Pros
  • Yes, a good screen, clear text, light, comfortable to hold. The charge will last for a month if you read 2-3 hours a day.
Cons
  • Fragility, not durability (for children and those who do not hold hands, it is definitely contraindicated!), crooked software is made by narrow-minded hands . mi.

I've been using it for about a year, so far no complaints. The processor here seems to be quite powerful, because it really opens new books, or some pdf of 50 megabytes each, in a second. The materials here are really high quality, there is no feeling of plastic. 8 gigs is probably not so much, but you can finish it off with a memory card. In the hands lies like a glove. I especially appreciate the availability of Wi-Fi. I have almost lost the habit of all wired cases, I even charge the phone…

Pros
  • Compact, reliable, Wi-Fi
Cons
  • No

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I chose for a long time, but in the area of ​​\u200b\u200btens, this is the most nimble of the books. A friend had a Kindle, he leafed through the Silmarillion in PDF on it, and that was an ambush. And there is not a single brake. Good contrast, very comfortable to read even under the sun. The eyes don't get tired at all. Once I read it all the way across the Atlantic - my eyes did not even tear. In general, one of the best gadgets that I had.

Pros
  • Price, build quality. Nice backlight.
Cons
  • Haven't noticed yet.

After 1 year and 2 months the screen died (see photo). At the same time, I did not use the book regularly, treated it with care, did not drop it, immediately after purchasing the book I bought a "native" case. The conclusion of the service center - the screen is cracked (from the inside), which is not a warranty case. In this case, the guarantee is 2 years. What can I say: do not buy this disposable rubbish! ) She is not worth the money

Pros
  • e-ink
Cons
  • Annoys the appearance of a negative screen (every time you turn the page). For a fraction of a second, the screen image appears in reverse (as if it were a night mode), while the device itself does not have such a mode.

What you need for those who want to read a lot and comfortably. The touch screen and backlight are not superfluous attributes at all. Well, Wi-Fi is mainly used for firmware ates. Pros below: Excellent autonomy. The book is compact and lightweight. Plus it's very pretty, thanks in part to the "Ruby Red" shade. A fast-shifting touch screen and sufficient performance allow you to read PDF, albeit with less comfort than pure text books. There are a bunch of compatible covers on sale (you have to…
