    Very good spine, very pretty

    I've been using it for a couple of years now and it's not working properly, but after 15 days it froze: I had to connect it to a computer and given the price this shouldn't happen.

    Delighted

    The screen is very nice, the characters really sharp. It is very light and can be held in one hand.

    I'm taking one star off for the autonomy (3-4 days) and the Wifi connection, which gave me a hard time: it doesn't have great reception so you have to be very close to the box.

    Perfect

    Book reader ordered in 7" for an 80 year old. The simplicity of ordering books, the size of the screen, the weight and the reading comfort are perfect. The delivery too, as usual...

    Comfort and fluidity of the reader.

    With its 7-inch size and asymmetrical shape, it is easy to hold and easy to turn the pages with the buttons. Its lighting is comfortable, its software is complete without being sophisticated, no problem to find your way in a library of several hundred books. It is also possible to read comics in landscape format by half page.
    A plus with the possibility of reading articles retrieved from the internet from a laptop thanks to the "Pocket" application.
    Easy connection with "Calibre" for those who use this open source software to manage their library.

    A good reader for walking around with your library.
