How to choose an e-book (reader).
What is happening today in the world of electronics - not even dreamed developers 80s and 90s. It's just boom , jumps , steps by leaps and bounds . Look , if in the nineties were just talking about computers , and many had no idea what it is today - it is the stay and spirit of the times , as a matter of course . Children six to seven years and guided an excellent job in the simplest of computer technology , not to mention the graduates. To list all the " joy" of the use of technology in one article - it's an impossible task , but to talk about how to choose a gadget like the "reader" or an e-book - is quite capable.
From the name it is clear that the "reader" - an electronic means for reading a variety of information . E-books are very common today because of its functionality and efficiency benefits that they bring to the holder device. Yes, and it is convenient , finally. Just imagine the most simple e-books can accommodate a whole libraries , thousands of volumes of literature (especially if you use the additional memory card) , and all this with the weight of the unit in a couple of hundred grams and is the size of a regular notebook. If 5-10 years ago computer stores offer the buyer a limited and meager assortment of eBooks , today there are so many that even experienced users often have difficulty in choosing the "reading ." Next, we present some recommendations aimed at helping the individual to make the right choices, to understand what is an e-book to buy. Specify brands and names we will not , because the market is constantly changing and moving, and that "reader" , which today holds a leading lines , tomorrow may be in the list of outsiders.
1. Oddly enough - this is your budget. Depending on what means to you for the purchase, you can view the model with different functionality. There is a " reader " that allow the user to simply read ( direct appointment ) lyrics , download files of a certain format , with a minimum of additional options. Other same model - almost " catch up " on the possibilities of tablet computers . As with any purchase , common sense tells us that the main purpose of "reading " - is the storage of books in memory, which can be comfortably read in your spare time , do not worry about that battery is empty , etc. Therefore , buy a tablet, on which you'll just read a book , do not . On the other hand, if you are significant features such as the radio , reading, listening to music, photography, movies and more with a single device (in this case - the reading room ) - should opt for the more expensive models . But, the more functional and "beauty" , the faster the battery lasts , and reader , nevertheless, should be " LP ."
2 . Look at the overall size of the e-book and size ( diagonal) screen. Even an ignorant person , it is obvious that the larger the screen , the easier to be read. It's true. Read the text and can be from a mobile phone , but it is a mockery eyes. In the "reader" is diagonal from 4-5 inches and above . In any case, before buying a book and you want to include something to read to her to decide on the spot , convenient for you to such a size or not. The total size of the device is also important. After all , you can put in your bag and laptop in 3-4 kilograms , which is much more functional "reading " , but whether you prefer to wear ? Size and weight of each chooses , commensurate to his lifestyle , paying attention to the main diagonal and resolution . Obviously, reading books with a resolution of , for example, 1200h900 be easier than with the device 800 by 600 .
3 . Next time. Look at what memory card support one or another e-book . The more cards support different book - the easier it is to find a card, but let's say from experience that even if the "reader" supports one kind of cards - this is enough , since buying a card once and the required volume.
4 . Processor . If you want to use the book only as "reading " is not necessary to pursue the fastest processor , which are only on devices such as an increase in the frequency of the processor - the rapid consumption of device resources and battery charge is exhausted . If your plans and "walk" on the Internet, and not peculiar to use newsreader options , look for more powerful processors . The same goes for RAM. If your book 256-512 MB of memory, be sure to read these figures are quite acceptable .
5 . But at this point , pay special attention , it is really important when choosing an e-book . This - supported formats . Here , the more they support the book , the better. At a minimum, must include the following : fb2, txt, pdf and doc - it regards reading. Today , there are books , supporting 10 formats and more , which is very convenient, as you can read virtually everything that is loaded into the reader . Besides formats for reading , books and support various graphics , music and video files that you can view pictures and listen to downloaded music . Among them also is "generally accepted " and more . This is less critical parameters , and everyone decides that he needs. Again, we choose the " reader " to read additional formats so we are not as interesting as the only discharge the battery.
6. Type screen. And then the market offers us a choice : monochrome or color screen . Difficult to say , but noted that it is more convenient to read a black and white screen is easier on the eyes , and the battery holds a charge longer than the use of the color screen. There are also combined screens , but the price will be higher and more power . On the other hand , a color screen, the pictures look more natural . It all depends on your needs. On the market are the following types of displays LCD, TFT, E-Ink , etc.
7. For some important handling ( on, off , brightness, flipping , bookmarks , etc.). Seen from experience that it is more convenient not interactive buttons , and built- in book ( bottom, side , etc.). Although for some people , and vice versa .
8. If chosen book immediately verify whether there is a case for it . E- book cover, will serve you longer, and just more pleasant and convenient to keep it cheholchike than plastic feel .
Importantly, if you decide to take the reader ( e-book ) and want to read it with her a lot and often read - leadership is not " fashionable chips" and additional options , but by how "easy" to read the text , so that the eyes do not get tired . Of course, in this case, preference should be given books with a large screen and comfortable for your perception screen . And the rest, weigh all the " pros and cons " estimate, why do not you "reader" , and boldly in the store for purchase .
I think that clearly explained and gave useful advice before purchasing an e-book .
