Pocketbook color 633, need simple advice
Hello. I am looking forward to getting my first e-reader. PB Color 633 is available in my country and affordable. I have very straightforward expectations of this e-reader.
I am mostly going to use it for reading textbooks in pdf format. I want my experience to look like as if I am reading from an an actual A4 paper. Since the device is not as wide as an A4 paper, I would turn it sideways (in landscape mode) and read it in 2 columns by zooming it in and panning around. So, these are my main concerns: 1) I am getting mixed feedback about whether it is going to be acceptable for my expectations. I have heard that sometimes it takes minutes (or just very long) to turn a page/zoom/pan around. Is this true? I am fine with a reasonable delay of course. 2) It officially says that it supports SD cards up to 32 GB but I have heard people say that they can use 128 or even 512 GB SD cards, is this true? This is not an issue for me since I will have my laptop around and if I need to switch to another book, I can just take it from there. 3) I am also getting mixed stuff regarding its screen resolution. Wikipedia says it is 212 ppi. I have also read it is 100 ppi for color screens. I am only interested in color, to be honest. 4) Also, how do I protect its screen from scratches? Does it have a protective layer or should I buy it (I do hope it is offered)? I am sure that whatever material is it made of, is going to get scratched even with perfect care. Please let me know if you have information about this. Thank you in advance. Last edited by foreverconfused; Today at 06:05 AM. |

ad 1. PocketBook InkPad Color 3 would be nice for A4 documents. It's quite hard to reproduce (readable) such big page size even in landscape mode on rather small screen. But yes. it's possible. Especially if it's text in two colums. Not as fast as on modern tablets but it's acceptable while reading page by page;
ad 2. According to user's manual, you can use up to 128 GB microSD card; ad 3. Screen resolution is 300 ppi for bw and 100 pi for colors; ad 4. You have to use a case. Any other protection like foil will downgrade brightness and contrast which already are quite low. I suggest case with stand function and silicone back, like in this article: http://cyfranek.booklikes.com/post/3...aliexpress-com You can find some more info in this review: http://cyfranek.booklikes.com/post/3...tnik-w-europie |
