Electronic media confidently displace paper. They are convenient, contain a large amount of information, they can be filled and emptied. The only inconvenience - charging - is redeemed with more than convenience and access to unlimited Internet possibilities. Which e-book is better to buy? This will help you review the best models of electronic books in 2017, compiled on the basis of popularity, rating and reviews on the Yandex.Market website.
10. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Average price: 7,700 rubles.
Opens Amazon's top 10 eBooks Kindle Paperwhite. This e-book is good for everyone - a clear and understandable Russified interface, low weight, good readability both in the sun and in the dark, convenient adjustment of the backlight.
However, there are also disadvantages.
- Firstly, you will have to pay for the lack of advertising (and you will have to watch ads because the screen is blocked at the same time).
- Secondly, Kindle does not support some formats, so you won’t be able to download files directly without conversion.
- Thirdly, it will not work separately from Amazon, and the navigation system there is quite specific.
9. ONYX BOOX Vasco Da Gama
Average price: 7 300 rubles.
Vasco Da Gama E-link has a six-inch screen, which means that your eyes will not get tired for a long time. This small book also has other advantages:
- light weight;
- convenient buttons;
- supports different formats;
- there is a backlight;
- Wi-Fi
- access to Google Play;
- sufficiently capacious battery.
Minus: there is no “native” cover, but the usual standard one will not work because of the specific position of the side buttons.
8. ONYX BOOX C67ML Darwin
Average price: 9,000 rubles.
Darwin differs from the previous model by a large amount of memory, a more powerful processor and a cover in the kit. And the rest is about the same:
- touch screen, pleasing to the eye;
- Android OS
- reads all formats.
True, for some, the versatility of Android may seem a little redundant, and the book does not always turn off when you close the cover and puts the battery in it.
7. PocketBook 840-2 InkPad 2
Average price: 18 000 rubles.
The screen resolution of this book is one of the largest on the market - eight inches; it interferes (albeit in small print) with an entire A4 page. At the same time, the book itself is quite light, although the battery in it is very powerful - a month and a half is enough for the reader without recharging. The book also has a very convenient and intuitive interface and an excellent and thought-out library system (which other companies do not handle very well).
Cons - the size of the book makes it difficult to put it in your pocket, you have to carry a bag with you. And the price is not the most budget.
6. PocketBook 631 Touch HD
Average price: 12 500 rubles.
Something, but PocketBook can do e-books. The 631 Touch HD is no exception. It is simple, straightforward and at the same time effective.
Benefits:
- six-inch touch screen of the new generation E-link Carta with excellent resolution of 1448x1072;
- Highly adjustable backlight
- good contrast;
- Wi-fi
The disadvantage is that the software is “damp”, sometimes there are freezes, but not critical.
5. ONYX BOOX Bering 3
Average price: 7,000 rubles.
The standard six-inch screen of the inexpensive ONYX with a resolution of 1024x758, there is no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth. However, a small price more than redeems the lack of technical innovations. A great option for anyone who just needs a long-playing reader that you can safely take with you on vacation, without worrying about the compatibility of plugs and sockets. Yes, and PDF and DJVU, again, not everyone needs every day.
4. ONYX BOOX Prometheus
Average price: 24,000 rubles.
The most expensive model of the ranking of the best e-books of 2017. Overview of the benefits of this book:
- diagonal of 9.7 inches (true, resolution 1200x825);
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- capacitive sensor;
- corporate cover included.
The book software supports reading all file formats, and the metal back wall gives a feeling of quality and reliability. And the Android OS will allow you to put any application on the book. It is positioned as a reader for technical literature, but it does not do very well with its task - with a large diagonal, it is not too high resolution, and the possibilities of working with PDF are not too large.
3. PocketBook 625 Basic Touch 2
Average price: 6 800 rubles.
The third place in the ranking of the best e-books of 2017 is occupied by a simple model from PocketBook, which has everything you need and even more.
- The six-inch screen, touch, using the latest E-Ink Carta technology, reads well.
- 8 GB of memory allows you to hold a large amount of information in all conceivable and inconceivable formats, and a smart processor avoids annoying freezes.
- There is wifi.
There is no only backlight.
2. PocketBook 614 Limited Edition
Average price: 7,000 rubles.
The Limited Edition has a six-inch screen, E-Ink Pearl, but the resolution is lower than the number three ratings - 800x600. There is no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth. It is popular for:
- low price;
- a powerful battery that allows you to not charge the book for literally months;
- high reliability and ability to read literally all formats.
A tempered glass will help to avoid trouble. A great option for a gift to a child.
1. PocketBook 615
Average price: 9,000 rubles.
And the PocketBook 615 is becoming the best e-book of the rating - largely due to the fact that this is one of the most inexpensive models with backlight.
Advantages:
- The six-inch E-Ink Pearl contrast screen with a resolution of 1024x758 is easy to read, does not glare in the sun, looks comfortable in the dark thanks to the backlight.
- The battery holds a charge for a very long time, and 8 GB of memory will accommodate a large number of books without using a memory card (which, by the way, is included).
- And, of course, reads literally all formats.
Overall a great combination of price / quality.
