Thank you for responding! The problem is that I do not ask for a connection with a PC at all! And all the cords I tried in the house.
PS And the "book" itself sees and reads the flash drive
It's okay: this happens sometimes to me, I just plug the cord into another connector on the laptop. : this: And then she asks about the PC connection. : wow: And in the settings, look-it is marked so that she asks -charging or connecting with a PC.

prascovia, the computer sees my book only if I turned it on, waited for it to boot and only then connected it to my computer

ABOUT! And I have Prestigio 3052 - like the lower right in the photo
I like it costs less than beeches - on average about 3000r, color, plays video-photo-music. there is a screen backlight. compact. three font sizes, you can read both vertically and expand the text on the screen (landscape layout) - while reading, press the "off" button - not a word about this in the instructions
you can change the color of the sheet - I like black on beige (gray-beige, similar to old paper in color). there is a screen backlight - the brightness is adjustable.
charging from a computer. and the charge lasts for 8-10 hours. but these are the disadvantages of the backlight and the type of screen.
and all computers from it begin to boot, if you first plug it into a switched off computer, and then boot the computer. but we already know this joke and connect it only to a turned on computer

of the minuses, in principle, insignificant, but someone maddening is about the features of font sizes and how they stretch the page:

- the smallest font - everything is ok - you flip through page by page, lines of text from top to bottom fill the entire space. (but the font is too small)

- medium font (the most convenient for my eyes) - makes like three from one page. the number of pages in the text remains the same, but each is divided into three parts, say page number 57 at the bottom, in the info line it will show like this: 57 (1-3), 57 (2-3), 57 (3-3). these two of the three pages are normal, the text fills the entire screen. and the third of the three is almost always short - a few lines per screen. and then you flip through - already page 58, etc.
that is, not a solid text goes, but every third page a part of the screen is empty, as if a new chapter would go further, for example.
I don’t know if I explained it clearly ... I’m used to it and don’t notice it already, but my husband took to read it - he swore)))

- the largest font (measured - 2.5mm) - stretches the page into 5 parts.
but in general - quite a normal reader. especially for those who like to read in the dark like me
tanchik
So I say: the reader is what you need! And you quickly get used to dividing pages. Sometimes there is a blank page altogether. I often take Prestigio from my son on the road, because of the opportunity to read everywhere. Only we have enough charge for 18-20 hours. Well, we always charge from the network, everything is always poked into the computer, then flash drives, then modems, then someone throws something to themselves. And so for the night for a charge and then you read for a long time.
My son and I, together with him, are very pleased with the book. And the brand is not promoted, like Sony, with whom they were terribly burned, and it works as it should!

Can you charge the prestige from the mains? Our instructions say that from the computer only the cord is included only to the computer. there is a suitable connector from some other device, but I hesitate to plug this reader into an outlet ...

There are special adapters with a USB connector for charging, similar to a charger for a mobile phone, but without a wire. Just ask by email. goods - charging with USB output.

lesik_l, thanks yes, there is one - I called it a suitable connector from another device

It is possible, even necessary. The set comes with a charger from the mains, via a USB wire, looks like this:

well, the wire:

In the instructions for the book, it is written that it charges faster from the network, so it is.
The beauty of this charger is that it is universal, any adapter can be used for charging, even a charger for Motorola mobile phones. The book in this regard is not whimsical at all. Just lovely, not a reader!

I will also insert my "three kopecks" into the topic of e-books. About 4 months ago I bought a PocketBook Pro 902 with a 9.7 "screen. Electronic ink, very many formats. Gadgets (photos, games, Wi-Fi, etc.) do not interest me (so far, in any case, it was bought for reading, because I read quickly, many and sometimes several books at the same time), but they are. Non-colored, but the text is important to me, not the pictures (the children have grown up, there are no grandchildren yet). Reading is VERY convenient, my eyes get tired no more than from ordinary books , or maybe less, because the font can be increased / decreased "for yourself." The disadvantage from my point of view is this: 2 times in 4 months. It hung with me. To remove the hang, pulling out and then inserting the battery back ( perhaps there is another way to eliminate the freeze, but I don’t know how), you need to unscrew the screw with which this battery is screwed in. A Phillips screwdriver is required - but so small that my husband does not have it (though today he promised to buy it with an oath). Well, of course, it is not included in the kit.This reader is good, as it seems to me, for home software. consumption, because not everyone wants to carry with them something almost A4 format and weighing half a kilo. For me this is not a problem, but the taste and color of all markers are different. And to read is a thrill!

I also have a PocketBook 602 PRO, which is smaller, also hung a couple of times, but the way out is this: it has a Reset hole at the bottom, press it with a toothpick, hold it for a few seconds, the book is overloaded and that's it. In this case, you do not need to take out the battery. Maybe my advice will be useful to someone.
Here is this hole:

The book was presented to me by my husband for the New Year, I am very pleased. There are many formats, it is very easy to download via USB, I bought a case and a flashlight for reading at night. I like everything very much

Rimma71, it is a pity that I did not wait for your answer and unscrewed the screw-tongue with a screwdriver from the seam. cars (it did not fit very well, but I really wanted to read). Found "reset", if it hangs again - I'll try to use your method. Thank you!
Lisss's
Rimma71Which flashlight is cute handy? and show it open, if not difficult? I really liked him ..

I also wanted to ask - have you changed the font on your pocketbook?

I changed it, and now when I open the book after turning it on - there is such a good font, but just super. and as I turn over the page, it changes to mine, which I chose. and back that font does not come back. and it is not in the list of fonts in the book, I have already gone through everything, everything is not right .. so I think, use the reset button - what if it comes back? ...

Means, not only I am so unhappy! Well, in terms of reader freezes. Although not good, I feel some relief from this. And I bitterly envy your screwdriver, since the screwdriver I need is sold only in a set, and we need them (screwdrivers) 2: my daughter has the same reader.

By the way, Rimma71, I told her about reset. She, it turns out, tried, she did not succeed.
Rimma71
I had a flashlight on a clothespin with two bulbs. Sold as a gift for a book. It turned out to be uncomfortable for me! Maybe the model is so unsuccessful, the clothespin slipped all the time, the flexible "necks" of the bulbs were not always fixed in the right position.
And mine is attached to the back of the case, turns off automatically when you remove and fold. Of course, it looks flimsy, but it seems to work. A big plus is compact.

Another name is electronic ink. Compared to a monitor, gentle on the eyes.
Uncle Sam
A short course in evolution.
For millions of years, the eyes of mammals (and the like) have lived under conditions of natural selection and the habit of looking ONLY at the light reflected from objects. Exceptions: sun, fire, lightning, stars.
The eyes have adapted to this.

So reading a book is more natural for the human eye than watching TV or at a computer monitor (CRT or TFT is not important).
Thanks to kind engineers, we have e-paper screens (they are: electronic paper, e-ink, etc.). And we save our eyes for reading many good books.

Hurray-hurray-hurray !!! I bought my son the same one last week !!!

Amazon Kindle Keyboard + 3G + Wi-Fi

The task was to add his son to books in English, and at the same time - to tear him away from the computer, because his specialty is completely connected with the computer, and plus a lover of playing - this is all - mascaras - eyes on the shelf ...

In this model:

1 - internet is free, wherever you are !!! (True, they wrote that it does not give in China)
2 - you can install the reader CoolReaderwhich reads all formats, even zipped fb2! Plus, it allows you to change in a fairly wide range not only the type of font, size and line spacing, but also to vary the contrast !!!
3 - the original built-in font (without CoolReader) is more contrasting than in Nuk, that is, it is clearly visible))
4 - much easier my NOOK!
5 - holds charge for a long time, in read-only mode - up to 1 month (if not longer) !!!
6 - the simplest Linux is inside and do whatever you want with it !!! That is, the book is configured as you wish!
7 - does not freeze just because there is nothing to do!

We did not wait for the touch version of the Kindle (Touch), it is about to go on sale on November 11. It will cost 200 bucks, most likely it is much more convenient, but the son loves to poke buttons, so we decided that this one will do too)))

With all the fact that Amazon Kindle is so good and I can, in principle, take it from my son, giving him my book in return, but still I got used to my Nuk and my hand still reaches out to him, even though shoot, even though that it is noticeably heavier and has to be constantly recharged.

On Nuk, the paper is a little yellower and the simplest touch controls - that's what captivates me
Teen_tinka
Our family uses 2 pieces - Amazon Kindle Keyboard + 3G + Wi-Fi and Texet ... one with inc, the other with a tft screen. In the second, there is a touch screen, but there is no wi-fi. The films were watched a couple of times on the second ... in principle .... I made a conclusion for myself .... I like the usual book more ... apparently the point is .. "Soviet" upbringing - "read baby, read - not then you will grow up as a kid. "
But I rarely use it ... in line at the clinic, and a couple of times in a taxi, on vacation I read a little.
At home I still read ordinary books, you can't read while driving. And so a nice little thing.

Advise Amazon Kindle 3 Keyboard with advertising.
It is because of advertising that the cost is much less. And if you take it without 3G, then you have to fit into this amount.
True, I don't know how on the Russian Internet spaces, but my friends bought on Ukrainian ones even cheaper.
The charge lasts a month, sometimes more, very economical, reads PDF well, which is often needed for study.
Does not freeze, no complaints.
If you shell out extra for 3G for this model with a keyboard, then there will also be an Internet free at any point, my son often takes information on an Internet for studying right in the classroom.

There is still a new one at this price. Amazon Kindle Touch, also with advertising, it is decently cheaper, it is easier to use it, you can control it right on the screen with your finger.
In this case, it makes no sense to overpay for the 3G function - the free Internet does not apply to this model

Then the buttonless Amazon Kindle Touch is the very thing, with advertising without 3G it is equal in money to a button, neat, lightweight, small, fits into any purse, the other day an employee bought this to his mother for Jam Day for $ 138:

E-book (reader)

I have a Nook, yes, I agree with your daughter, I like it more, it has a yellow screen, and in Amazon it is gray, and in general it is more to the heart, BUT!
I got tired of charging it, or the battery is very weak, or the book system is very gluttonous - in the state of saving the screen, that is, you walked away, did not read, forgot to turn it off completely, and that's it - it is decently discharged, and Kindle does not lose if you don’t read it at all not a drop of battery!
Secondly - Nook is very heavy in comparison with Kindle, the hand gets tired a little and is decently larger in size.
But I still love him more

The prestige of a different level, we have not even considered them.

I cannot say this about Kindle, because he came to me in a completely intact factory package, completely Russified, with REMOVED advertising! That is, it is marked that this is a model with an advertisement, but it was removed without my intervention.
They couldn't release it from the factory with unofficial firmware.

And the Russian firmware for Nuka is definitely unofficial.

julifera, I was interested in your model. I really want to buy myself a book. But I understand little of them. At one time I wanted a 9-inch screen to make it easier to read. But they are heavy. Tell me, do they really not strain your eyes, as when reading from a monitor screen? And the 6-inch screen is enough for you, does it bother you to turn the pages all the time?

Which one? NOOK or Amazon Kindle?
Kindle has a slightly grayer screen, it bothers me a little, but my son is not.
And Nuka has a yellow tint - perfect for me
In the same books, a special screen is an imitation of living printed paper, nothing blinds or strains.
You get used to leafing through, you don't even notice how
This is, of course, my subjective opinion.

Recently they brought me Gogol to read - old living books, multivolume (it just so happened that I still haven't read it)
So now, after e-mail, it is hard for my eyes to read them, the paper is dark with age, the letters are printed blurry and pale.
I'm even thinking - I can download it to myself in electronic form, but this is certainly a sin with live copies
