E-book (reader)

I also do not like elastic bands and straps on the front side. I also have a pocket 602 and a "native" cover.

Girls, I have a breakthrough. It remains to decide between PocketBook Basic 611 and Sony Reader PRS-T1. Further stupor.

For Sonya, I have a menu in English, I download books in Resk. No problem. I really like the book (I have a white one at my mother's bordeaux)

Girls, but I have such a question - can a tablet replace a book? I had a Pocketbook 701. I dropped it. then I bought a book with e-ink. But I miss the pocketbook - it also has its own charm. in a color screen ... And now I am tormented by the thought - can I buy an inexpensive tablet? Has anyone tried to read from it?

You can read something from anything, but still these are different things. If for reading, then the book, in my opinion, is more convenient. My husband, looking at the prices, offered me a tablet too, but I preferred a book.

inexpensive tablet? Has anyone tried to read from it?

Fronechka - I’m sorry for your eyes, it’s better to have a specialized screen with electronic ink.
Now let's say it does not affect, and then broads and problems with eye pressure from overexertion, do you need it?

Girls, well, I wrote: Nook Simple Touch is an e-book with programs for a tablet or a full-fledged tablet with an E-ink screen. All formats are read, any programs for android are installed, a full-fledged browser and mail programs, a normal connection to the Internet.

Overstrain in the eyes on intraocular pressure is not reflected in any way, and headaches and dry eye syndrome are provided.

pancake. what a pity .... I turned on my pocketbook ... well, it's much more pleasant to read, if the word ... in the pocketbook, as I said, the screen cracked. you can read it. but problematic. and the touch does not work. I even thought. I don't need to go online in it, I have a netbook and a laptop for that ... in general, I think, thank you for your attention.

girls, I bought my husband a pocketbook touch 622 as a gift - what a glue it is ...



with that it is much more convenient - you do not need to poke the button down a million times until you get to the bottom line, and if you are looking for what you are looking for in the dictionary, or what word you type, it is convenient and it even seemed to me that he thinks somehow faster than my 602, but it's not a fact - it's just a very nice book, I fell in love with it

with the eldest son, we developed a plan for how we will give, downloaded the song Happy birthday to you to the pocketbook, decided to put headphones on daddy and close his eyes, and turn on the song, and when he opens his eyes, he will see that it is a book singing

I also wanted to put a screensaver on Happy Birthday, but I haven't got a thing yet ...

Download the best song "Happy Birthday!" Barbarikov. Children sing - and the song is cool, and not trivial Happy birthday

I finished reading this topic and now it will be much easier to make my choice. Thank you for describing your books in such detail, it makes it so much easier to make a choice in buying an e-book and get started with it.

Robert Asprin. MiF series. Humorous fantasy.

[izvarina.d]

izvarina.d, Congratulations!!! Which one did you get?

Sony PRS-T1. Black. And the cover is the same as shown above. I still have to buy a flashlight. We had a hurricane this Saturday, the cable tore off. We were sitting without electricity for almost a day. So I decided that I needed a flashlight unambiguously.

Diana, how are books reflected in it - by folders, or by a general list? and another question - does she see zip files (archives), or should she extract books from the archive so that she can see it?

So far I just understand (only yesterday the book arrived), but what can I already say: "zips" sees. And having thrown from the computer the books already sorted by author and series, I got a vinaigrette as a result. I had to delete everything, rename the files on the computer and create a new collection already in the book. Maybe I'll figure it out further and everything will turn out to be much easier, but so far a little annoying.

Tan, it's not that scary. I just crammed a lot of books from the start, and the default sorting was "by date" - and that was a mess.

With a purchase!
And there in Sonechka there is sorting by author, title, date, alphabet. Only though I sorted everything by author, but I read it with vinigrette, so as not to get used to one style, it's more interesting for me. I changed the font, enlarged it a little and everything is fine. Sonya is clever!

Tell me, please, do you need a special program to download a book to your computer? I have something that the books do not open in the computer itself. Tell me how to download and what is needed for this. I'm new to the computer and wanted to email. download books to the computer first, but nothing happens.

It depends on what format you download. If you need to unzip the zip folder with Winrar, this is such a program. And then, depending on the format of the book: adop rider, txt notebook. And you can download the reader, I have a cool reader, fb2 opens.

Each format has its own programs, but I don't bother installing reading programs, for example, in fb2. I download it to my computer, and from there I read it into a book.

Tanya, I've pumped up a whole bunch of cooking books for myself (the folder is called the Belly Festival). It's easier for me to watch it from a laptop, but I keep the book, especially after my sister's screen burst. Repair of 3/4 of the cost of the book itself.

and I bought myself an Atlas tablet on Friday, UAH 1700, installed the reader and was happy immensely. I previously had a 701 pocketbook with QUMO Colibri e-ink. So I will say as an experienced "reader" from a tablet to read just a great pleasure! I made a beige background like an old book. although you don't read it on the beach, I took it with e-ink.

[fronya40]

fronya40 with new clothes you!

although you can't read it on the beach

this is not very pleasant ... I read the Kindle on the sea on the beach perfectly !!

well, I have a fallback - with e-ink))) but in the evening to watch movies cool - in any format, and rummaged in the internet

So I will say as an experienced "reader" from a tablet to read just a great pleasure!

Here to each his own, as they say. I do not perceive books from luminous screens at all, and even a computer is enough for me - to spoil my eyes. And someone likes it. Taste and color.
If the reader is needed not only as a reader, but also as a media and for the Internet, then, of course, media readers and tablets are the right thing. But for those turned on paper books like me (and there are a lot of them), paper ink is a godsend for the Chekist.

well, I have a lot in defense of luminous screens - I can't see well, otherwise I can put it on my knees and I can see everything, but there is no ink boom, I understand that everyone has different tastes ... I needed a tablet for reading, Thank God my hopes were justified, for the media I have both a netbook and a laptop ... I just wrote my opinion, and that reading from it I was simply delighted.

[fronya40]

fronya40, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Well I just said so - to each his own and told about his preferences. For me, electronic ink is a salvation! I love to read scary, but I do not perceive books from luminous screens, for me they are not books. And others really like it, that's how you. All people are different, I am convinced once again.

After all, at first I didn't even believe that I could read even from such non-luminous screens. Because, again, I am a book lover and librarian by education and vocation. I like to hold books in my hands, turn paper pages, I like the aroma of printing. In general, I'm sick of this case. But books are so expensive these days. And in our libraries I have read everything that was interesting to me several times, and now they are almost not filled with new books.
So I had to look for options.
And here it is - reading went like clockwork. I'm so used to it. Yesterday I noticed such a thing behind me - I look, there is a tiny droplet on the book (it splashed with something, I like to read in the kitchen), I think I'll finish reading it and turn it over to the next page. I turn it over and wait for the drop to turn over together with the page. It became ridiculous from myself. That's how I got used to such a screen, I perceive it as an ordinary book, and sometimes I even forget that it is electronic.
Plus, I work at the computer all day, if I also read from the same screens, my eyes would hurt terribly and my vision would not improve, I think. And so the eyes get tired and vision deteriorates over the years.

Well, what are you Lozya, I'm not offended at all, I just wanted to brag, of course, I have, for example, at work, which are considered pampering in electronic books .. I just told me that she was more suitable for me personally. I have strong astegmatism, glasses are almost not corrected, that is, my glasses are minus three, but I see poorly in them. and here, due to the brightness, complete pleasure. I wrote, maybe someone will come in handy. I had no thought to be offended. Moreover, for so many years here we have been closely communicating and giving good advice ..

well, I have a lot in defense of luminous screens - I can't see well, otherwise I can put it on my knees and I can see everything, but there is no ink boom, I understand that everyone has different tastes ... I needed a tablet for reading, Thank God my hopes were justified, for the media I have both a netbook and a laptop ... I just wrote my opinion, and that reading from it I was simply delighted.

I am also for the glowing screen. I have already described on this forum our rehearsals with SONi 600, it belonged to my eldest son. And they also gave me a book with electronic ink. How she took care of her! And the screen began to move in stripes in front of our eyes. Naturally, they did not want to repair it under the guarantee. I was terribly upset. Since I love to read and if there is no book with me on the subway, I just go crazy. And in the course of time I got so used to a small and light book that again it was not possible to carry heavy volumes in a bag. My husband has always been against the little one. He needs a huge TV, which only he watches, a screen in a computer, like a TV (children call a bandura for some reason), also now only with him. And he doesn't recognize small books. All said, let's buy a big screen. But everything was decided by itself. The eldest son got an iPad, and I got his PRESTIGIO with a luminous screen! I thought my eyes would get tired like a computer at work. But no. Everything is comfortable. And most importantly, in the dark, you can see and do not need to squint under special flashlights. And my eyesight is also not important. And as it turned out, a luminous screen is better for my vision.
And because we are all different, everyone should approach the choice of the screen individually. Someone is more comfortable.But in terms of endurance, of course, it turns out that the luminous screen is more durable. In our family, only the glowing ones survived, and many of our friends' screens with "ink" flew. And replacing them is sometimes more expensive than the book itself.

All my friends Kindly and Nuki have had screens for 3 years already.
Probably depends on the model.

[tanchik]

tanchik, thank you for information. I sell them, it is important for me to know which models are reliable, which ones are not very reliable. And in what booklets are screens still flying, except for Sonek (you said that friends also covered up)?

Well, it's clear that we are all different. If they were that bad, people wouldn't buy them. I'm good that there are three of them now, one of them with email. ink, another with a cracked screen))) - a pocketbook, the repair costs as much as a new one, I handed it over, they spent a month, then they said bring 500 UAH, then another 10 days have passed, let's give 300 more, I looked at a 7-inch tablet, it costs 1000 UAH, almost like a repair, but I bought a 10-inch one, greed played a role here, and then there was such a bonus that you can climb on the internet.

[tanchik]

Losing, I can name the models more precisely later. The employee has a Nook, so cool, black with rounded corners. He's lying around at work. The guy was very upset then, and he worked for him absolutely nothing. And in the workshop they said, like everyone else: not a warranty case. And they asked for 560 UAH, while he paid about 900 for it. Although I often see such books in the subway. Maybe the employee was unlucky, or maybe the regularity and the second exact model is the same SONY 300 from his younger brother and his adventures like Froni40, the reader was lying around in the workshop for a month and a half, then he reported more money, then he spat and took it, but from he was kept 300 UAH for diagnostics, he bought a tablet. Now he dies and sleeps with him! And I will find out from two acquaintances, I will write, so as not to slander the "innocent". One thing I know for sure what they bought, but in exchange for what I'm not sure.

Thank you! I am also interested in this question - do the screens themselves crack? Or from some kind of forceful impact (fell, hit, sat down)?

They don’t crack. They are intact. But on the screen, the stripes are so white, I don't know how to explain, I can take a picture of a sleepyhead and a billsler at home and put it out. Well, you know, it's like someone walked over a pencil with an eraser. Personally, my billsler is right in front of my eyes. We went on vacation, sat reading and then he began to "erase" my page. First, one strip passed, and then many, many. And in SONY 600 my son always kept the book in a separate compartment in his backpack. He swears that no one sat on her or pressed her, she did not fall. He just says that he went to school in the morning, everything was fine, he read. And when we were leaving school, I took it out on the subway to read it, and there were two strips per cross. We then tried to change the screen, but it turned out to be easier to buy a new one. And this book lay in a drawer in the table. On paper to the printer. And so my son somehow calls me, he went to get the paper and took the book, he had notes in his Sonya, and he periodically tried to fish them out. And here's the same picture. Nobody touches the screen, and the arrows, like on our tights, quickly and quickly diverge.
Yes, and in the book that the employee, nook, has the same contraption. The screen cuts exactly in half the network of stripes. But the Sony 300, my brother had it in a laptop bag. There was a crush in the subway, and this is the only way he can explain what happened to the screen. Although the bag is tight, the book is in the cover. But the fact remains. The screen was also "wiped".
I may not clearly explain, but something like that ... Excuse me.

Wow. Maybe because there is still a novelty - these screens are not completed properly? I really hope that these screens will improve over time and this will not happen. Otherwise, you will have to stomp into the library again, read everything for the third time.

Tanya, was it such fun with Sonya? with black and white?

I have strong astegmatism, glasses are almost not corrected, that is, my glasses are minus three, but I see poorly in them. and here, due to the brightness, complete pleasure.

Have you tried contact lenses? Now the astigmatics are very good, soft, before they were only hard. Many patients use them all the time. And if there are age-related changes, on top of the usual plus glasses for near. Not everyone can tolerate astigmatic glasses, lenses are more comfortable. And operations also remove astigmatism. Not quite on the topic.

I tried ... I used to wear them, but other problems started, and everything, when age-related changes began, became very bad in them. And my daughter had an operation today !!! (sorry, that is not the topic) - she was the same as me, and now 100% vision! The operation is very expensive (at least for me)

Tanya, was it such fun with Sonya? with black and white?

Aha, with SONKY! With black and white!
My son's model is not very cheap, they chose on advice so that their eyes would not get tired, otherwise at 15 years old, at that time at 12 we were already in contact lenses, but it turned out to be rubbish. PRS-600, my nephew also had a PRS-300, Loze promised yesterday to find out the model of the book of a friend who had the same trouble, and so also Sonya PRS-950, she worked for him for three months, after which he said no touching screens and all sorts of ink.
And here are the pictures of our ink books.
, I'm sorry that my hands are reflected with the camera, but I tried to convey what is being done with the screen. This is a disabled book, it is no longer possible to start it.

and this is mine, WEXLER. And I took care of her like a child. She cherished, blew away the dust. I loved it so much that it was small, comfortable and non-touch. How it all happened, I answered yesterday for Lozie.


This is it in the on state. You can imagine my state when all this began to wear off just before my eyes. : swoon: And you know how annoying! You take care of it, my husband also has Veksler, a bigger screen, but a color one, he has movies on the map and books there, and this poor book lies with him anywhere and has fallen several times. And working! And at least that! Pah-pah. And here!
Nooo, now I will not part with my luminous screen in PRESTIGIO. She is hardy and very fatiguing on my myopic eyes in contact lenses.
And I also want to say about SONY. The models are very expensive compared to other brands. But if all the other books come with a cover at least, then there is no dormouse. A bag is given to it, which in the process of operation you understand needs to be changed otherwise the haplyk of your book. And the covers are expensive, plus expensive flashlights. And also, today a colleague is hysterical. She bought herself a Sony PRS-T1 Crucible not so long ago. A beautiful reader, I gave 1500 UAH, although everyone tried to dissuade me from SONKA. Well, the man wanted. And now she asked for time off, ran to the service, her mini USB socket stopped responding. Can't recharge the book.

Yes, it's sad. This means that this screen entered the market very raw, and we still have to work on it and work on it. Well, now at least I won't advise my clients to Sonya, they praised her so much, I started advising customers, and here on you ... I wonder if anyone had this with the Kindles?

Why are you scaring me? I ordered myself a Sony Reader PRS-T1

Yeah. insulting. I was also offended when my pocketbook flew out of my hands and the screen cracked. and it was also a shame, when on the very first day I poured coffee on a laptop ... although here I am to blame. and the tanchik cherished-cherished and such garbage.

Lozja, do you have any feedback on the Wexler Flex one? Today I saw a video in M ​​for 6990. Flexible screens have just appeared, I wonder if this is so cool, and how are they in operation? The weight of only 110g is captivating, but does not read the zip. I am sitting in thought, there is a gift certificate, but there is a pocket, it works and pleases (mmm), something hot, but what?

[tanchik]

tanchik, but it seems to me, or do I see a crack in the first photo? Or is it a scratch?

Girls, no cracks, no scratches. The screen is whole. In Proservice, which repairs everything called SONY, we were told that with such screens this is a normal thing, they have a dime a dozen of such screens. In another service, they also "reassured" that this often happens to Sony. ALAS.

Why are you scaring me? I ordered myself a Sony Reader PRS-T1

Giraffe, maybe everything will cost you and the book will work. The employee (pah-pah knock on wood) has a screen in order. The service did not take it under the guarantee, but they promise to change the nest within a week for 250 UAH. : Victory: Well, this is not 1650 per screen, although the identity is not cheap.

Girls, well, my Sonechka PRS-T1 has been with me since May, that is, a newborn is still considered. In reading every day, 100-200 pages, and maybe the whole book. I use the touchscreen, and sometimes I leaf through the button. I always carry it with me, both at home and at home. Well, so far, the above described dances with tambourines have not been observed. The charge lasts up to 3 weeks. (charged the last time on July 9, now one division). On ebook.org, whatever model you take, something happens or happens to someone. It is impossible to speak unambiguously and categorically, I think, about any readers it is bad or good. It's sad, of course, but Sony is still a serious company, I don't want to think that the above is all too often. For example, I started my searches with Veksler - everyone was delighted, and I managed to hold the book, use it a little. And only at the end of the search path I came across an article that Veksler is cocoa. And the rest of the masses praise and use him. In the same way, Kindly are wonderful, and Pockets, and Nuki and all electronic books. Let's live and read! For example, I have already re-read the cost of my Sonya in the book equivalent - and it's great! And how much more to come!

Yes, this is generally incommensurable. And if you count the whole family? So I'm waiting for my second book and I hope.
Oh, I'll cry. I dreamed today that I bought a very, very good laptop for 45 thousand tenge. (300 dollars) Such for 90 thousand is a very good price to buy. What is it for?

So it's business - to find in the internet and download what your heart desires, before you go to the bookstore in the morning, you stand at the shelves, and you can't pick up a lot. And here is beauty. Although I admit - sometimes oh, how you want to turn a paper page with your finger. But I would not have been able to share a book with someone. In the morning I am with her, in transport I am with her, at night, again inseparable. How can I determine the period of time when I will not need it? I find it difficult.

And the popovoda - what would it be for? Tatyana, this means that there are no many gadgets and devices!

[tanchik]

tanchik, I have such a question - why is it suddenly a non-warranty case - this trouble with the screens? Under what clause of "non-warranty" is this summed up? You didn’t harm the book in any way, it suddenly got so rubbed by itself. On what grounds are you denied free warranty service? What do they say?

By the way, they tried to refuse me that way too (albeit in the harvester), then I calmly told them so - yes, yes, you all speak reasonably, but write me a written refusal of the current ... he twisted my harvester for another 5 minutes, and then repaired under the guarantee .. and then in the subject of the cube I read that many were refused the same breakdown under the guarantee ..
