E-book (reader)

Thank you so much!

[Elena]

Elena, here I bought: 🔗... They are also the official Onyx service.

By the way, my husband read my book one day and now wants one too.) Here is his opinion: it is convenient to hold, it is clearly visible in the dark, the screen does not glare when backlit (if you read a book without backlighting with external lighting, there is glare.)

Good luck with your choice.

Mistletoe, I bought it, I bought it! I put it on charge. I will study, try to somehow upload something, I have never had an e-book. In the store she rushed between Newton and Akunin, followed in your footsteps. Mistletoe, does it turn itself off when you close the book?

Good day to all readers!

I have a question for the owners of PocketBook books.
Read some good reviews of these books here. I almost made a choice.
BUT I found a number of reviews on the Internet that these books have a very fragile screen.
Who has any impressions?
Of course, I understand that if you want to smash, crush, you can do anything ... But still I would like to hear reviews about the quality of the screen.

Thanks in advance to everyone who responds!

I found a number of reviews on the Internet that these books have a very fragile screen. Who has any impressions?

I have PocketBook 701 for almost 3 years. The screen is still intact. It didn’t even occur to him that something was wrong with him.

I have PocketBook Pro 612, the fifth month, no complaints. But I handle it carefully. It didn't fall on me, mmm, and I didn't drop anything on the screen either. I bought a thicker and tougher cover for it, stuffed it into a bag and went if needed. True, I have an induction screen (not controlled by fingers, but by a stylus), I was looking for this, I do not like it when the screen is patched or, if desired, with buttons. And on my model, the field of the body around the screen itself is quite wide, when I hold it, my fingers will not climb onto the screen. But this model is not new. When he took her away, the boy said that this particular model was very good in their line, there were few complaints about her over the years. True, the version of the operating system was installed there, but the new version was downloaded to me on their website and reinstalled immediately. It seems that the screen has become lighter and scrolls faster, although maybe it seems to me .... It's like in the movie "Old robbers" - about a picture: Yes, after restoration it became better.

My nephew deleted everything that was there
but the whole school program ..... how to restore all this I do not know

Mistletoe, does it turn itself off when you close the book?

Elena, congratulations! Let it serve for a long time. When the cover is closed, the book goes into sleep mode, and then after a certain time turns off. In the settings, you need to set this time as you wish. I did 15 (sleeping) 20 (off). To wake up from sleep mode, you must quickly press the power button.

I have a second pocket, with screens t-t. Regarding the touch-up touch, since March I wiped it once (at night, a midge flew to the backlight, I did it and that), there is also not a glossy screen. And in terms of speed of control + touch compared to induction.

Well, plus then a plus, although I'm not sure that it's faster, but in induction, by an accidental touch of the hand, the book will not close or run away to no one knows where. So there are pros and cons everywhere. And besides, in my book, I can even write something down with a stylus or draw, just like with a pencil, in my own handwriting, without using a keyboard. But, to be fair, I very rarely use this for drawing, but to emphasize the necessary places in a book or put checkmarks or crosses in the margins, it’s regularly, very cool to do all this with a stylus on the places you like in the text. In paper books, this is done at the bottom, my mother would have unscrewed her ears, but here it’s a nice thing, you can play a trick as much as you can.

[Madison]

Madison, I have a touch-2. The screen got damaged after 9 months. Not crashed, namely damaged. It's a shame. Not a warranty case. I'm going to carry it for repair.
BUT: all this time I was happy with the book.

My nephew deleted everything that was there
but the whole school program ..... how to restore all this I do not know

On their official website. And through their service. Is free.

On their official website. And through their service. Is free. Thank you

Elena, congratulations! Let it serve for a long time.

Thank you, Omela! Tell me, how do you download books, I only succeeded through the computer, and in such a difficult way ... I dragged from the downloads to the book, dragged something superfluous, then I tried to remove it from the book, but it does not work: I go to files, but I don't know how to delete from there. Somehow they organize everything by author, but how?

[Elena]

Elena, you can remove from the book only through the computer. And you upload it correctly, first into the computer, then drag it into the book. You also need to systematize through the computer, that is, through the explorer, enter the book and create folders there. I'm not doing it by the author. but on the subject, but here it is as convenient for anyone.

Thank you, Omela, and I thought that everything in it could be done by myself, I wanted to eat and upload, but they wrote that the server was too remote and unavailable. I will study further, thank you very much!

It's my pleasure. I have never used vf, I can not say anything.

I uploaded both through the computer and through wi-fi.
It is uploaded to the folder specified by the user (or transferred to it from the computer). The author is determined automatically, as is the title of the book (I use the fb2 format, as it is optimal for libraries, IMHO); the file name is not matched either with the author or with the name, you can change it.
PocketBook has a convenient menu, you can change the place on the memory card directly from the reader.
Regarding the use of Wi-Fi. It depends on the network. Maybe your home and public. The browser is buggy and awkward. It takes a long time to load. It takes even longer.

the server is too remote and unavailable

And from what site / resource did you download it?

I downloaded it from here:
I haven't found others yet.

Elena

We have pocket 611 and 624, normal screens t-t-t

[Elena]

Elena

I support! Flibusta rules!

Galina, thanks, already, I'm already trying.

Everything with downloading turned out on filibust, thanks. The Akunin book had to be changed to Newton's, I was very sorry, but there was no other copy in the store, and the purchased copy was not entirely successful for me. Here in the topic about what to read I spy on who reads what, who advises to read what, but, very sorry, there are almost no new posts, they stopped discussing ...

[Elena]

Elena, just like mine. What did you have there?

Mistletoe, it often hung up on me, as it were, the font was not drawn in bold, as it was necessary for me, and it was impossible to change it in any way. In Newton, I can make the font both brighter and fatter, I did not understand why I didn’t have a friendship with Akunin’s, maybe I didn’t understand something about it, although I liked it so much. This, Newtonian, is much more modest in design, there is no mp3, but the other Akunin was not available, she did not wait. Memory 512 MB, ROM 8 GB, it seems more powerful, but I still regret that I had to exchange.

No, well, if it didn't work, of course it had to be changed. And there are no fonts, only 3. Only the size changes. Well, nothing, let this pleases.

Here's what you need to buy so that you can download and listen to audiobooks, preferably not only with headphones?

For mp3 player you can buy a portable speaker. Like this



It can be connected to the phone and to the DVD player. I bought it for a child for cartoons. otherwise nothing is heard from the player.

Mistletoe, thanks. I understood that I need to buy an mp3 player, a portable speaker and I will be happy.

And at home you can listen from a computer.

And then, really, you can .. thanks.

We have pocket 611 and 624, normal screens t-t-t

Giraffe, tell me, please, does Pocket 624 have a night mode ??? I shoveled all the instructions (maybe I overlooked something, I know that there is no backlight), but most importantly, when you flip through the pages, then for a few moments (a second, another) this night mode pops up or is it a glitch with me (((((

very sorry, there are almost no new posts, they stopped discussing ...

No problems. Look at this 🔗
The book is intended for honest people, not very honest and just deceivers. The first can get the opportunity to effectively deal with the second and third, and those, in turn, improve their own art.
The book is not designed for fools, moreover, it is contraindicated for them. This conclusion is confirmed experimentally and has a very high reliability.
The book contains many entertaining and instructive stories that reveal the traditional methods of deception and manipulation used in everyday life, politics, war, and criminal life.

[Galyunya1]

Galyunya1, the son says. what no. I'll try it a little later, maybe I just didn't use it. It's like I need a mobile phone only for communication, and when my husband says that I have this and that I am genuinely surprised. And even more sincere when they offer me to buy a new one, more sophisticated, I don't understand why ...

Thank you Giraffe!

[Galyunya1]

when you flip through the pages, then for a few moments (a second, another) this night mode pops up

Galyunya1This is not night mode, this is a full page refresh that looks like this.

See what a smartphone book.

But I won't mess with Onyx anymore. : -X My month worked and wrote - an unexpected application crash occurred. And everything ... does not reboot (((Tomorrow I will take it to the repair. Firstly, because there is a guarantee for another year. And, secondly, I really like it, just very, very much. And I see no alternative for myself. I will a year to go on guarantees, and then we'll see.

Oh, mistletoe, what a pity! I also really liked Akunin's little book, more, of course, in appearance. Newton looks more modest, everything works, but one thing: not all books can be bookmarked, the format is different, or something .. a bent corner is shown, but it is not laid, on other books everything is fine, so I don't understand the reason. And yet, I upload everything into folders, open the library in the book itself - everything is there without folders, one by one, it should be so, is it true that the book itself needs to be put in order again?

Elena, that's a pity. The time spent on the trip to the service and back, twice. Plus my trip is planned as without a book ?? Of course I will take my husband's, but it is without backlight. but you get used to good things quickly. Yes, and I have no options.It costs quite a lot, I will not sell it ... in general, I will suffer.

the format is different or something .. a folded corner is shown,

Yes. I also noticed that the corner does not bend in the pdf format. because there the pagination and the actual page do not match, I do not know how to explain in words. But if you go to the Bookmarks tab. then everything is reflected there, that is, all the bookmarks are there. I have stripes in the water and marks on it, you click on the mark and you get to the marked bookmark.

And yet, I upload everything into folders, open the library in the book itself - everything is there without folders, one by one, it should be so, is it true that the book itself needs to be put in order again?

No, I made folders on my computer in the book. I drag them into them and in the book these folders are visible in the Files section. Although I also have a card. can it be on the folder card ?? I can't look now.

Mistletoe, these are files in Akunin, I also had them in folders as I had them on my computer, but in Newton, the library, I do not see the files of the section, I stole everything from daddies when downloading, then went to the book in the section library, everything is by the piece, there are no folders, and when I open it on my computer in the explorer, everything is there in folders, as I put it. The story is the same with bookmarks, in some books there is, in some it does not work, in Akunin I did not see this problem, everything was laid down, I asked the seller, he says that if the bookmarks work in those books that are installed in the device, then this is not the fault of the device, and what he himself does not know. Mistletoe, do you think that they will install a new application for you and ..? can not be handed over at all without repairing?

can not be handed over at all without repairing?

How to pass ?? It was possible within 2 weeks. Now how ?? I'll ask, of course, on Monday.

they will install a new application for you

Well. I understand that yes. And they will update, apparently .. there the new firmware has already been released. I don't know if it will be better. From experience, once a thing repaired is a diagnosis. (((

but in Newton's library, I don't see the section files

Yes, it's not convenient.

in some books it is, in some it does not work,

Ahhh, so you can't put a bookmark at all ?? Poorly. I thought that just a folded leaf is not displayed. but the bookmark is put anyway. I have so. Just yesterday I noticed this, right before the hang.

Still, the Chinese do not catch up with software, of course.

Mistletoe, that's right, there is a folded leaf, but no matter how much you gag on it, the bookmark does not happen, but in other books everything is fine. And this is so inconvenient, to remember where I stopped, I have ... no memory. I'll think about the folders, there in the book it is easily sorted by author, alphabetically, etc., maybe somehow it is pushed into folders, my hands did not reach, but they reached your dill buns, already on the way, thanks.

And this is so inconvenient, to remember where I stopped, I have ... no memory.

No, wait, wait ... A bookmark is needed to mark some place you like, so that later. including after reading the entire book, it was possible to return to it. And these bookmarks are all collected in one place. In the Bookmarks tab.

And the place where you stopped reading is remembered automatically, that is, the next time you turn on the book, it opens at the place where you stopped. Moreover. any book you have previously opened opens in this way. In the settings, I indicated that when turned on, the last open book opens, and not the main screen. Don't you remember it automatically?

but they reached your dill buns, thanks already on the way.

in, I also need to go bake something, since I have left without a book.

Yes, when you turn it on, the book that was last read is immediately shown on the last page that was opened, but if I opened another, then if I could not make a bookmark in the previous one, then when I reopen it, it shows the first page, but I have not in all In books, it is possible to make a bookmark, which I complain about, like I gag on a corner, it does not darken, does not bend, I even click on the empty bookmarks in which I can do it, then when you open the bookmarks everything is displayed there, at least how many of them you can do. Sometimes I look through more than one book, so I rummage around, looking for the place where I read. In Akunin, it seems, the bookmarks are moved up, next to the files, here it is different, less convenient, this is also not always possible.Sorry, Omela, I take so much of your time, but you helped me a lot, I started downloading the books correctly, thank you.

but if I opened another, then if I could not make a bookmark in the previous one, then when I reopen it, it shows the first page

oh-oh-oh, how inconvenient. No, I have that in Akunin, that in Pocket, if you open a book at least once, it opens on the last page you read. I never even thought about making bookmarks.

I swear at the corner, it does not darken, does not bend,

But mine is not so. I click on the bottom of the rectangle like this. pops up a menu where you can change the font, the brightness of the backlight and other parameters. and including "Bookmark". When you click there, a curled corner appears on the page. And yes

In Akunin, it seems, bookmarks are moved up, next to the files,

A new line immediately appears there. It's not very convenient for me either, because in Pocket bookmarks open in a book, that is, there is a list of books, you click on the desired one and all the bookmarks drop out. And here it turns out 33 times I made a bookmark in the book and 33 entries are created in the general list. You get tired of flipping.

Glad to help, what I can ... You are not distracting me. I now have a lot of time ...

Thank you!

Mistletoe, how are you doing with the book? And after I was completely discharged (I really thought that the end came to her: I did not turn on, then I figured to put it on charge), I charged and began to make bookmarks and now opens from the place where I finished reading, maybe she somehow updated and improved, which I am very happy about.

[Elena]

Elena, you see, it turns out what miracles happen. I gave the book for repair. They promised to do it in a week. The service said so calmly - we will update the firmware. They apparently have tons of them.

What a shame that such a booklet, conceived so wonderfully, was not executed so wonderfully ...
