I have had it for almost a month. It is very functional. However, be careful not to slip from your hands. It fell from a low height and the screen was immediately damaged. It is very sensitive. I would not recommend it. And I would not buy it again!!!

Did you find this review helpful?The truth is that I only see positive reviews for this particular product, so I don't know to what extent my case can be considered the rule or just an exception. I bought this specific e-reader less than two weeks ago and precisely because I had read reviews about the screen sensitivity, I was trying to be extremely careful. Unfortunately, at some point, it slipped out of my hands onto soft-really soft- grass, while it was inside its case and with the screen covered. The result was that the screen shattered. Out of curiosity, we opened it and the screen had broken almost across its entire width. Certainly, its price is affordable, but I conclude that it is better to get a slightly more expensive product than to fear that the screen will break with the slightest "bad" movement. I am also to blame for being careless, but I was truly amazed at the extent of the damage it suffered from this particular fall, at this particular spot. To not only emphasize the negatives, it is indeed a very practical and affordable e-reader. If I hadn't experienced this, I wouldn't have anything overly negative to attribute to it, apart from some minor details. Buy it, but really take care of it like your own eyes!

Did you find this review helpful?I love it!!! Being a fan of physical books, I decided to give it a try! It's truly amazing! You can easily add books that you had on other devices, and you can also easily buy books from your mobile and open them through your ebook app. I imagined it to be more complicated, but it's not... plus, you save a lot of space, the hassle of carrying books, the fact that you don't need constant light, and of course, the prices of the books ♡
P.S. Of course, when a book has an incredible cover and maybe it's a collector's edition, you can also buy a physical copy! It happens :)Translated from Greek ·- Screen clarity

Did you find this review helpful?It reads and files pdf (you can insert a microsd card before uploading files to the microsd: go to settings, select the product, then memory, and format the microsd memory card). It also charges slowly, but that's how inkbooks are, I think. And when changing pages in pdf files, it takes 2-4 seconds to format, but if you press the buttons (forward-backward), it doesn't do it

Did you find this review helpful?- This review is about the colour: Red
Okay... game changer... It changes the reading experience... so effortless that as soon as I started, I read 30 pages of my book without even realizing it. No eye strain at all. No more complaints about the expected light in the room when you want to read at night!! It has as many options as you need. I didn't hesitate to transfer the books I just bought through my db. No need to worry about battery life or forgetting to bring the charger... It has some extras, but guys, it's an e-reader, not a tablet... You always have it in your bag. Vacations without needing a suitcase just for books. It's convenient enough that you can customize profiles for multiple users, but practically it's better to have one for each person so you don't clash... Finally, I believe that for its price, it pays off, if you consider the price differences between physical books and ebooks. These are the thoughts of a die-hard printed book fan...

Did you find this review helpful? I mainly use it to borrow books from the national library and it has been very helpful to me, as it supports epub drm. I put the book in Dropbox and read it immediately. It is very convenient on the train, you can easily hold it with one hand

Did you find this review helpful?Very satisfied.
The quality of the plastics is very good with a velvety feel. The buttons also feel very good.
It is lightweight and easy to hold and stable due to the margins it has. Much better than a mobile phone. It has been extremely convenient for me to read while lying down.
The screen size, although it worried me ("only" 6 inches), is actually sufficient for reading. The shape of the screen is almost square and has proven to be more comfortable than the narrow shape of modern mobile phones.
The screen resolution, although it seems small (758 × 1024), is more than enough for reading. It remains clear even under sunlight, where mobile phones struggle.
The screen lighting is very good and can be adjusted both in brightness and temperature. You can even create a "scenario" where brightness and temperature change according to the time of day (referred to as SMARTlight). Be aware that it does not have a light sensor, so the screen brightness does not adjust to the environment. In practice, I never needed to change the brightness for day or night.
All menus are available in Greek language. It supports syllabification in books and our language. It has 3 options for line spacing and 3 for margins around the screen. There are 23 fonts to choose from. You can also choose the font size and whether it will be permanently "italic" or "bold."
The buttons can be set for single press or long press, which is very convenient.
You can create user profiles and share them with multiple members. Each person can have their own settings. The ebook automatically saves the page where each person stopped and the notes they made for each book. This way, the same book can be read by 2 or more people simultaneously without one person confusing the other.
The battery lasts a long time, even with the screen constantly on.
It has its own space in the cloud, but it also works perfectly with Dropbox. I didn't need the SD card anywhere.
Digital books, whether from bookstores or the Google Store, can easily be converted to epub. You need to have an Adobe account. It is easy to do and it is free. There are detailed instructions.
It has its own store, but it is lacking in content.
For PDFs with images that I tested, it doesn't work well. It is very slow to navigate within a page and the screen size is small. The colors naturally turn into shades of gray.
I also noticed that it takes a long time to re-measure the pages when changing orientation or font size. While it is measuring (which can take up to 10 minutes), the ebook responds very slowly. I can't understand why.
It also takes time to select text and struggles to find where a sentence starts. However, it quickly and accurately selects a word.
For browsing, it is slow. However, it is sufficient for looking up an unknown word or getting information from Wikipedia.
In general, it would need a faster processor to properly support some of its features. However, for "simple" reading, it is great.
I paired it with the original case (https://www.skroutz.gr/s/35027400/Pocketbook-Cover-Shell-Flip-Cover-Δερματίνης-Μαύρο-Basic-Lux-3-Touch-Lux-5.html), which fits perfectly and is of very good quality with a corduroy feel on the outside and a velvety feel on the inside. It is both magnetic and automatically puts it on standby or brings it back from standby. However, if it is turned off, it only opens with the appropriate button.

Did you find this review helpful?Personally, it has helped me a lot and thanks to this I started reading systematically again. The screen is great, no issues with or without lighting. The battery lasts, a little less of course when using a case with a magnetic automatic opening, which essentially puts the device on stand by. Mainly using epub files.
I am coming back because suddenly and without dropping the screen, it presented a problem (it was unresponsive and had vertical lines on the home screen) within warranty (almost 2 years). The official warranty did not cover the damage, obviously because they claimed it was my fault. However, searching on the internet, I found that this issue is common and considering the cost, maybe it's not worth buying it after all. The only positive thing is the fast communication with the company located abroad.

Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Excellent! Easy menu. The lighting is amazing, the battery lasts a long time with daily use, and it is very lightweight. Plus, it has a memory card slot. The whole library in one device!
