The iRiver is one of the few e-book readers that have a Tastatut (similar to the American Kindle). The e-reader fits comfortably in your hand, is very wrapped and fits probably in many women's handbags. He reads next to EPUB and PDF files and .txt files. Some books (in English only) were also installed. In many descriptions on the Internet indicates that you can even edit PDF and txt files to the device. Who finds out how, may I inform the like. But my current assessment looks more after that you try so to attract more customers, since a processing on the Reader has not been possible. The e-reader offers the possibility to read ebooks also the option of using a built-in MP3 player (recommended but only after one has brought a memory card, otherwise the 2 GB are busy pretty quickly). Also a calendar you can use. Said unfortunately allows only a few entries and has no classification with times. The memo function is very nice because you can send the data as a .txt file to your computer. Here, however, caution is advised when entering the text, because the Reader does not respond as fast as a computer keyboard and tactile feedback of the buttons is also very low, so the write speed more frequently missing letters. The display of graphics turns out to be very sharp, even if only a black and white display is possible here. Which is a shame in reproducing texts, the problem is that words are (for example, .txt files) separated at the end of a line in a very unusual way. This can be perceived as very annoying when reading. The language of the unit you can even choose the translations into German sometimes be very dubious and individual words not be translated. Supplied accessories limited when iRiver unfortunately only on s USB cable to charge the device via the PC or to the device to connect as an external drive. Very unfortunate that cases must be purchased separately, as damage to the unit can occur more quickly. All in all cuts of iRiver me therefore with four stars from. To read it was good enough and the extras are nice too, albeit in need of improvement. But still a good value for money.
