The best e-book: popular models and modern requirements

With the advent of technology in our life, with the active development of the Internet, reading from the computer screen, from the monitor of other electronic devices, replaced us with an ordinary book. And in this there is nothing wrong: all technological innovations are created only for our convenience. But, unfortunately, not every e-book model meets the requirements of a modern reader.

What characteristics of the ebook to pay attention to when buying? What distinguishes the best e-books? Let's try to understand.

First of all, a good e-book should have settings that allow the user to increase the font if necessary, easily find the desired file in his entire electronic library. In any model, recharging is enough for a month of use, if you read 1-2 hours a day.

All electronic devices have a monochrome screen - black and white, for easy reading, without harm to vision. But there are models with a color screen and a backlight function (of course, you should not read this book for a long time): Nexx, Fujitsu FLEPia, Explay.

The best e-book "reads" all (or almost all) formats. Experts refer to such readers: PocketBook, LBook eReader V3, Reader A6i. Such models are equipped with a powerful processor, allow you to quickly scroll through pages, open and close files. The screen diagonal should be sufficient for comfortable reading (6-9 inches). Of course, the memory of the device is also important. In electronic books it is not so much: from 500 MB to 3 GB. But a lack of memory can always be compensated with a removable media. In all models, it is possible to insert a memory card (from 2 to 32 GB).

Shock resistance is just as important as aesthetic characteristics: slim body, color, comfortable keys or touch screen.

Readers differ in terms of different technological characteristics. There are simple e-books with a monochrome screen with a different gradation of gray (up to 16). And there are readers with access to the Internet, with the ability to listen to audio files, watch videos and images. Two-screen models are also sold: a black-and-white reader and a full-color screen with an operating system. If you absolutely need a book with the ability to watch the video, you will be pleased that there is a model on the market at an affordable price: Explay HD.BOOK with push-button control (4,5 thousand rubles.). Although many will prefer a more modern model: with a touchscreen LCD screen (from 8 thousand rubles.)

Not all the models fit all of the above criteria. But the technology is being improved. And if, according to experts, last year the popular model was PocketBook IQ 701 (and also Orsio Boox A60S, Onext Touch & Read 002), then, according to fans, today the best e-book is The Nook Simple Touch from Barnes & Noble ( Good for night reading).

This compact and light book can be carried with you. And access to the Internet will allow not only upload new books, but also communicate in social networks.

The best e-book from Amazon is the 3G6 from the Kindle Touch series. Expensive but multifunctional. Unlike the competitor, even the doc format reads, it is equipped with speakers (mp3 format). In addition to WiFi there is also a built-in 3G receiver. A powerful battery provides up to 2 months of operation without the need for recharging. And enough memory for storing 3 thousand books.
