Electronic media are confidently replacing paper ones. 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 the unlimited possibilities of the Internet. What is the best e-book to buy? An overview of the best e-book models of 2017, based on popularity, rating and reviews on the Yandex.Market website, will help you with this.
10. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Average price: 7,700 rubles.
Opens the top 10 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite e-books. This e-book is good for everyone - a clear and understandable Russified interface, light weight, good readability both in the sun and in the dark, and a convenient backlight setting.
However, there are also downsides.
- Firstly, you will have to pay for the absence of ads (and you will have to watch ads, because the screen is blocked).
- Secondly, the Kindle does not support some formats, so you cannot download files directly without conversion.
- Thirdly, it will not be possible to exist separately from Amazon, and the navigation system there is quite specific.
9. ONYX BOOX Vasco Da Gama
Average price: 7,300 rubles.
The Vasco Da Gama E-link has a six-inch screen, which means your eyes won't 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.
It differs from the previous model Darwin with a larger memory capacity, a more powerful processor and a case included. And the rest is about the same:
- pleasing touch screen;
- Android OS;
- reads all formats.
True, to some, the multifunctionality of Android may seem a bit redundant, and the book does not always turn off when the cover is closed and thus drains the battery.
7. PocketBook 840-2 InkPad 2
Average price: 18,000 rubles.
This book has one of the largest screen resolutions on the market - eight inches; it fits (albeit in small print) a full A4 page. At the same time, the book itself is quite light, although the battery in it is very powerful - the reader has enough for a month and a half without recharging. The book also has a very convenient and intuitive interface and an excellent and well-thought-out library system (which other companies do not do very well).
Cons - the size of the book makes it difficult to put it in your pocket, you will have to carry a bag with you. And the price is not the most budgetary.
6. PocketBook 631 Touch HD
Average price: 12,500 rubles.
Something, but PocketBook is able to make e-books. The 631 Touch HD is no exception. It's simple, straightforward and effective at the same time.
Benefits:
- six-inch touch screen of the new generation E-link Carta with excellent resolution of 1448x1072;
- backlight adjustable in a wide range;
- good contrast;
- Wi-Fi.
The disadvantage is that the software is "damp", sometimes it freezes, but not critical.
5. ONYX BOOX Bering 3
Average price: 7,000 rubles.
A standard six-inch screen of an inexpensive ONYX with a resolution of 1024x758, there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. However, the low price more than compensates for the lack of technical innovations. An excellent option for those who just need a long-playing reader, which you can safely take with you on vacation, without worrying about the compatibility of plugs and sockets. 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 rating of the best e-books of 2017. An overview of the merits of this book:
- diagonal 9.7 inches (though the resolution is 1200x825);
- Wi-Fi;
- Bluetooth;
- capacitive sensor;
- branded cover included.
The book's software can read all file formats, and the metal back panel gives you a sense of quality and reliability. And the Android OS will allow you to put any applications on the book. It is positioned as a reader for technical literature, but it does not cope with its task very well - with a large diagonal, the resolution is not too high, and the possibilities for working with PDF are not too great.
3. PocketBook 625 Basic Touch 2
Average price: 6 800 rubles.
The third place in the rating of the best e-books of 2017 is occupied by a simple model from PocketBook, which has everything you need and even more.
- The screen is six-inch, touch-sensitive, according to the latest E-Ink Carta technology, readable well.
- 8 GB of memory allows you to store a large amount of information in all imaginable and inconceivable formats, and a nimble processor avoids annoying freezes.
- There is Wi-Fi.
There is no backlight only.
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 that of number three ratings - 800x600. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Popular for:
- low price;
- a powerful battery that allows you not to charge the book for literally months;
- high reliability and the ability to read literally all formats.
And tempered glass will keep you out of trouble. A great option for a child's gift.
1. PocketBook 615
Average price: 9,000 rubles.
And the best e-book of the rating is PocketBook 615 - largely due to the fact that it is one of the most inexpensive backlit models.
Advantages:
- The six-inch contrast screen E-Ink Pearl 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 allow you to store a large number of books without using a memory card (which, by the way, is included in the package).
- And, of course, it reads literally all formats.
In general, an excellent combination of price / quality.
