Review on 7.8" E-book ONYX BOOX KON-TIKI 3 1872x1404, E-Ink, 32 GB, package contents: cover and case, black by Michal Machnicki ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

The choice of 8 inch readers is small, you can't really clear up (I'm used to this size on the Pocketbook 740 - the most convenient size, 7 inches is small, and 10 is a lot). Therefore, a comparison with PB 740: - the screen of KT-3 is really better - and contrast, and clarity, and backlight, and tactile, and in response to swipes and clicks. - build quality is better (KT-3 has no backlash and has a protective screen, plus PB 740 has poor soft touch plastic, which after a few years both externally and tactilely became not very pleasant). - Charging "type-si" (micro-usb at PB 740 zadolbala). - The presence of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can also sometimes come in handy. There are only three disadvantages compared to PB 740: - no physical scroll buttons (this is convenient), - KT-3 turns on noticeably longer (probably because of the android), - well, the PB 740 is more intuitive in the settings, i. E. It is as a reader that it is more simple and understandable. All the rest of the CT-3 is better. However, it is not surprising, PB 740 is an old model. Yes, the PB 740 is also a good reader, but to be honest, I don’t understand the people who buy it in 2023, it is objectively outdated, and I parted with it without much regret. KT-3 like more. There are two main advantages, I repeat: it is tactile (as a thing) more pleasant and it has a better screen in all respects.

Pros
  • 1. Modern display (high resolution, good clarity, good backlight, protective screen). 2. A pleasant tactile thing (the protective screen is cool and the case is well assembled - nothing backlashes). 3. Good case included. 4. Type-C charging.
Cons
  • 1. Expensive. 2. Non-intuitive interface (probably a matter of habit). 3. Built-in readers are not optimal, I think I will install a third-party one.

Excellent reader. She would have moisture protection and would be ideal
