I knew about the existence of Amazon's own device, but wanted a reader:
- Can process as many formats (as is the TrekStor, similar to one that knows of the cheap DVD players, almost unbeatable)
- Own lighting has (if I want to read in bed at night, then some light has since been after them; the e-ink history I can not abgewinnen much color can for example not at all)
- Sometimes can display images (I photograph a lot and because it makes sense, if you visit with holiday images "harass" wants the small and handy TrekStor device instead of laptops rauszukramen.)
- First is cheap! Do I know whether I ever attracted reading so nem dwarf permanently?
What can he have? Play music! Again, a lot of formats: .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .wma
Good and bad!
Good:
- PDF to / -kleinern reformatted when enlarge; So not a simple "push" of the screen! Newline is reset!
- Small (except for the 7 "display, which is quite good), handy and optical quality; touch due to the surface, also very nice to!
- 2GB Memory, expandable to 32GB. Since hats space for sooo many books! ... Or pictures! ... Or music! (The many other eBook reader can? ;-)
- Tilt sensor! Really !! For books not essential (can be disabled), but for images ists genial !! Portrait image? Turn No problem, unit and the picture reappears Display Frame!
- TFT display, ie backlight, so even in the dark without reading lamp usable! The display brightness can be regulated, that later something else.
- Sound of music playback is - in my opinion - good! Ok, I did not even use the supplied bud Headphones (with the things I could never start something!), But have connected my Sennheiser HD555 ollen.
- Super fast-growing when the on / off button is pressed only briefly after the last use! (Blowing when then also the place that had been achieved during off)
Bad:
- Really nothing!
Needs improvement:
- The display brightness is also at the lowest level a little light (for "In-dark-reading").
- The keys are not illuminated. If I had read in the dark, even the key should be thrown in a lighting ... ;-)
- Again the key: the pressure points are partially wahrnembar. Too Bad ...
- File handling is annoying, but not really bad. You have to wade through several submenus each time. But it's also a simple reader, if I plan extensive file operations, I take the same "Schleppi" (my shorthand for "laptop": a "lug")
To display brightness a few comments: often the readability is criticized in tests. I do not understand! Who can not read the characters on the display, should seek Optometrists his choice. I can set different letter sizes with the device. I cant display the extent that - due to TFT - readability goes into the cellar, the tilt sensor switches the display to eh. And let's face it: why I want to want to look at the display from a 45 ° or even nearly 90 degrees yet ?? A book I'm reading indeed more "frontal", right?
Read in bright sunlight? Go !! The sun screen at some point so that it seems to me in the eye - very dull - Of course, this reflects. But again: Who would do something voluntarily? But probably only "testers", right?
I'd like to see this tester, if they try to detect under the glass pane of a EiPäd at Woller sunlight anything! ;-)
For battery life, which is so often criticized, I can not say much. With me is the moment at about 5-6 hours. In the evening read, lunch time just to the charger (I use the charger to my e-cigarette) depend, and happy you are with the more ;-)
Résumé: for a price of less than 60 the device is absolutely OK! Therefore, 5 stars !! If the unit cost from 90, then hätts nen Stern given less!
Who wants something better ("One is always faster!" One says already at car race), which is to spend just more!
TFT is mE better than E-Ink, as well as color content (and even animation: moving GIFs) can be displayed!
Oh, and, many other readers also play music? ;-)
------------------------------------
Update after a month of intensive use: Class !!
Meanwhile, I have found that the Prestigio PER3172B eBook reader in principle is the same device with other firmware.
And here's the kicker: the Prestigio can not only act eBooks, but also music, photos and ... aaand .... files whose extension looks like this: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (Xvid) Divx, H.263, H.264, RM / RMVB, MKV, MOV, VOB, FLV ........... target hot movies!
The two units are identical, so you could just install the firmware of the device better on the trek gates ...
Again, how many e-book reader can act so many formats? N / A ??
Another thing to battery life: with pure read operation I am now at about 9 hours.
