E-book (reader)

Advise - Sony PRS T1 or Pocketbook Touch? What is better to buy? Advise, otherwise I have been at a loss for what a week! From the anguish of choice straight !!!!!

I bought a pocket touch for my husband, now I envy the rag .. but I don't know anything about Sony at all, it's just about the pocket I said

Advise - Sony PRS T1 or Pocketbook Touch? What is better to buy? Advise, otherwise I have been at a loss for what a week! From the anguish of choice straight !!!!!

I have Sonya, happy immensely. Correctly Giraffe-Tatiana wrote - pick it up and hold it.

I held both in my hands and both liked it. Well, do not read two at once or one at a time. The seller said that Sony is better, faster and the screen is better. And they bought Pocket with me, they said that it had a better screen and Sony supported few formats. With formats, I've already read here, you can cope with the help of the Hummingbird. But the screen worries me, the vision is not very young anymore - is there any glare, how do you choose the lighting. Tatyana, if not difficult, answer based on your experience.

I have a Pocket Touch for 3 months. I'm glad. In fact, it supports many formats, the screen does not glare, and the charging lasts for a long time. Books for 8 for sure, and not the smallest. Basically, I only charged it 3 times so far. This means more than 8 books ... It is very light, convenient for me, because I mostly read in transport. Of course, it is black and white, and there are no bells and whistles in it, but I bought it just for reading. The only negative is that you have to somehow adapt with the cover. There are no covers for them. Basically, you can use a notebook and stick it with double-sided tape. For now, I just get by with a packing bag "with pimples". But we have already written about this topic here.

Maybe I don’t understand something, but how the screen can glare if email. ink? The screen itself does not glare. But! They say, so to speak, the edging can shine. Well, the color of the book itself, not the screen. In Sonya's case, it is glossy and has better white. This is again from the reviews. But since I have a red reader, at the beginning these glare were observed. Now I blinked or I don't notice. And glare was not noticed in the transport, it is already dark there

I wrote this incorrectly, I meant the edging, but it turned out that about the screen. And we have Sonya only red and black. I'll go to the store again, try on which one I like, I'll take that one. With a reading room, as well as with a bread maker, I chose, bought and beauty !!!! You are using and satisfied !!!!

Sonya has three colors of this particular model - white, red and black. I saw the blue Sonya, but the model was different. White Sonya, they are sold out faster and more expensive, I think for this reason. For me, there would be a book, and happiness comes with it, like with a slow cooker, a bread maker. I wanted a book so much that anyone would be glad. Kindla really wanted and dreamed of it for herself, and gave it to Sony, and she is glad for that too. After all, they all give us access to reading, and this is the main thing.

and we have a lot of covers in Kiev .. are you in Ukraine?

No, I'm in Russia. ... But I confess honestly that I myself have not looked at the covers in the store yet. Just before buying the book, I searched the Internet and from there I learned about this problem. Yes, and I ordered the package through the online store, where the recommended products for purchase are immediately displayed on the page in addition to the order. There was definitely no cover.
The edging of the pocket is not shiny.
And in fact, what kind of reader you buy, you get used to it. And it is the best and most comfortable for you. The main thing is to overcome the pain of choice. Good luck!

I have Sonechka for 8 months already. I'm very happy. The eyes do not get tired, although two years ago there was a laser correction.

I am also very, very happy with my Sonya. Since July 24, I have loaded it 3 times. Glare nothing. No glitches.

And today I became the proud owner of Sony PRS-T1 !!!
The book is red + did not skimp on the branded cover with a flashlight (actually, I had a discount voucher, so I didn't have to spend much)
There is nothing to compare with, but I like it very, very much.
I downloaded one book at random in three different formats fb2, Chief of rtf. Opens everything !!!
By the way, T2 is already on sale, there is an option in black with a matte casing, so there should be no glare, and a screen with an anti-reflective coating. The price practically does not differ from T1.

Kindle 5 was released. It looks like the same Kindle 4 (only black), but the screen quality is better, the image is more contrasting and the background is whiter. It seems that there are no more significant changes. The price, as always, pleases.


In the near future - the start of sales of a more advanced Kindle - Amazon Paperwhite.

And today I became the proud owner of Sony PRS-T1 !!!

Congratulations! And I got a bummer with such a model. How many did not convince a nephew living in America that we do not need things, like persuaded to a reading room .... I brought things and everything past the checkout. Let the reader pleases and share your impressions. Maybe I'll buy it myself, I hope not to wait so long. One reading room in the family is not enough for us.

[giraffe]

giraffe, Tan, from the same ... straight vapsche ...

So from w: cray: how many did not say that we prefer to choose and try on. Well, how can a 12-year-old girl choose something from a lantern or a nearly 19-year-old guy? They have their own taste, their own style, their own sizes. We chose a skirt for our daughter to go to school for three hours, because there is one thing on the hanger, and quite another on the figurine. Now we think where to stick these things. I probed the prices for reading rooms from them, 2.5 times cheaper than ours, we were ready to pay money for it. For half a year they almost dissuaded me from things. This is beyond our understanding.

I have Sonya, happy immensely. Correctly Giraffe-Tatiana wrote - pick it up and hold it.

I also wanted Sonya, but after going through a bunch of forums, I still got a touch. the screens, the girls are the same, it's just that the wheelbarrow still has a thin protective film, and there is no time to suffer with re-encoding formats, with my small cockroaches, and here I downloaded it and go!
by the way, do you know where there is practically everything for reading ???
book.libertorrent.com
and of course .org
there is well, almost everything!

And my son reads the classics originally included in the reader. Now who would have thought, "Dead Souls"

+100
It also became very difficult for me to read live ones, they gave me Gogol's old subscription to read, barely washed out 2 volumes, the font is pale, the pages are all different dark yellow, the rest of the volumes were uploaded to the e-mail.
One thing is good in a living book - it's easy to go back to wherever you want and re-read (with Gogol, this often happened to me), but in e-mail this process is annoying.

the e-mail has a function - bookmarks, so that you can return to any place you want.

Also, the fact that the bezel of the screen glares, as it is glossy, and the cover on it is expensive - from 1300.00, with a flashlight under 2000, and the pocket touch - 750 rubles, and on the occasion that Sonya is faster if the pocket is flashed from the site's office with the latest firmware - there is no difference in speed. the fact is that in Sonya the processor is an android, it is fast on other things - surfing the Internet, games, etc., but !!! in the Russian version - there is a block for installing other software. the way out is to take an English-language book and patch it with the help of a special program created by our craftsmen. but if you don’t know how, you can take your head off. so that's it. but for reading - absolutely everything is the same with speed, believe me. And about the formats - twisting each book into Sonya's format is not ice .... but in Sonya's format you practically won't find books.

I have white, my mother has black, and so, white is better! the screen seems to be visually wider!

I have white, my mother has black, and so, white is better! the screen looks wider!

but does it seem that the screen is dark gray if the edging is white? I saw someone in the subway who had white books - all the time the screen was so dark to me visually ...

[giraffe]

giraffe, Tanya, is Sonek not on sale? and how much do you have a Pocket touch?

Now I quickly ran through the websites of our stores, ha-ha, there are no sleepyheads or pockets at all. Mostly prestige and some other, the reviews were not impressed.

[matt]

Also, the fact that the bezel of the screen glares, as it is glossy, and the cover on it is expensive - from 1300.00, with a flashlight under 2000, played against the sleepers,

As I wrote above, the new Sony PRS T2 with matt body and antiglare screen
the cover is an expensive Sony brand, but it's worth it, very comfortable and solid. I inserted the book, but to pull it out, you need to make a lot of effort, that is, it will not accidentally fall out, but there are also quite good alternative covers that are affordable

exit - take English-speaking book and patch it using a special program created by our craftsmen. but if you don’t know how, you can take your head off ... and about formats - twisting each book into Sonya's format is not ice .... but in Sonya's format you will hardly find books.

I have American firmware version, but the book itself Russian-speaking and you do not need to twist anything in it, he can calmly read PDF, Chief fb2, rtf, ePub. These formats are full of books on any resource
I am in no way campaigning for Sony (well, perhaps a little), I just share my impressions, and there is nothing to compare with.
giraffe! The way out is to take Sony, and as a user of two different devices compare them in the same conditions and you will be in this thread

nephew needs to knock on the head - what a setup for the forum made! so we would have our own expert, otherwise I sat down on a pocketbook - now I'm afraid to look at other manufacturers ...

you inattentively read my post - the edging of the Sonya screen (this is a strip around the screen) - gloss, glares in the light, the back side is matte. and if you have an American book that is Russified inside, then it has already been re-flashed by our craftsmen, an original American or European cannot be Russified. I have studied the entire book market for a long time, so I know about Sonya and everything that exists. original Sonya, released for Russia, do not read many formats, it is problematic in them pdf files without installing a special program to read, this is the latest firmware from Sony that made it possible to read fb2 format., but add special programs for reading, for example, a cooler or fbreader 180, which in its last version even turns the pages for you at the pace you set, or an adoberider for pdf files in which all the magazines are on the network and which is preinstalled on a wheelbarrow, in a Russian book or an American without hacking, you cannot, because there is a block on installation. and in general, on professional forums they praise Sonya of previous models, and this one is called - for Russians it will do, and indeed, I had the honor to read Sonya blue, a completely different reading experience than prs t1.

and the cover - it is any, the one that is intended for a particular model - the book will not fall out of it, since it was invented for this.and also - non-original chelas for sleepyheads - there are many of them in the net, they are, as it were, self-made, not branded, and it’s just books that I fall out of them, or the ears of the holders begin to dangle. so if you buy a cover, it is recommended, or better produced by the book manufacturer. then everything will fit and nothing will dangle.

I repeat, the price of both books is the same, friends, go through the forums and reviews on the market. and yet - everyone in life perceives everything differently, for someone the glass is half empty, for someone it is half full, and if you expect something unreal and super quality from a book for 200 bucks, then turn your attention to books from $ 500, and that is not a fact. I repeat, I read a lot, everywhere, all my life, and I have never received such pleasure from reading as now! yes, don't forget about the flashlight, 300 re, and the pleasure of reading in poor light or in the dark - above the roof!

but does it seem that the screen is dark gray if the edging is white? I saw someone in the subway who had white books - all the time the screen was so dark to me visually ...

no, do not worry, it just seems that I bought the first black one too, the edging began to press somehow on my eyes, then I gave it to my mother, and the white one was just superb. eyes do not get tired at all, 500 pages at a time and you don't even need to rub your eyes!

I have a black border, everything is ok with my eyes too

[Sony PRS-T2]

you inattentively read my post

I do not want, of course, to fall into pre-o-luh discussion, but you did not carefully read my post. First, we are talking about Sony PRS-T2 with a matte body in black, secondly, I understand that if we are talking about the case, then it is the edging that glares, and not the back side, which in no way affects reading, thirdly, you probably did not come across cases with elastic bands, from which books do not just fall out, but I would even say, fly out with a whistle (sorry, perhaps they did come across) ... there are also fourth and fifth, but as I already wrote, I don't want to start a long discussion, you just pounced on Sonya so that it became a little offensive for her ... and the air smelled of a thunderstorm.

..., then it is the edging that glares, and not the back side, .....
I repeat ... you did not read it carefully. it was about edging prs t1

What does anything mean? I already have a pocket, though not a touch, but still. I’m unlikely to buy it before the New Year, because finances are singing .... my husband’s salary is delayed for more than 2 months. Rather, they give a little, but in the end there are no salaries either. If only I can make good money, then yes, I'll run right away. So be patient

A little off topic (until the moderators hear) our relatives recently came to us from Kazakhstan, so I thought that you have a better economic situation than we have in Ukraine. As you can see, no ... Most likely Kazakhstan is big, somewhere better, somewhere worse, like ours ...

you probably have not come across cases with elastic bands,
and here, read carefully ... covers with elastic bands - from a series of self-made covers, very popular in online stores self-sewing.

There is an unspoken rule on our very friendly forum: the best email. book, bread maker, slow cooker, etc. - it's mine!
Didn't use any other email. books, I have Sonya, happy immensely. Yes, I admit, on vacation using a book, her browser was unable to read her mail. I didn't cry, and my book didn't get any worse for me. I read the mail from the laptop. It doesn't matter to me. I think that "Eugene Onegin" will not be read any differently if you do not use Sonya.
If you write about the shortcomings of a device, it will be more honest if you have one and write about it. As most do.
I generally vote for everyone to have email. books - any!

Prices for Pocket have been reduced. Last year they bought my sister 612 for 8.5, and now they are 6-6.5. Long live the market economy

I warn the owners of PocketBook Touch that he does not like cats: while distracted by the phone, the kosh sat down on the book - as a result, the amount of repairs was announced at 4 thousand (screen replacement).

This is the trouble of all email. books. Very fragile screens: yes: Replacement cost from 2/3 to 3/4 of the cost of the book itself. I'm waiting for the flexible testing to pass. I'm always afraid for mine.

It's a shame ... Is the cat so heavy or the screen is weak?

And the screen is delicate and fragile, and the kosh is 7 kilos.

[e-Book REB1100]

Yes, a normal screen in Touch, as in all e-books! kaneshna, they will feed 7 kg, and then they complain - the screens are fragile ...

Indeed ... in such a cold in the apartment and not let the cat use a warm book instead of a heating pad. But I have this third book in a row, so the first one, which some call a dinosaur - e-Book REB1100 - having endured everything and everyone (in different weight categories! and without a protective cover), one thing is bad - she does not go into space - but she is still alive and happy. This is what the filling itself and the screen are made of. Currently refueling

[Leska]

Leska, this book is a great choice! as far as my husband does not tolerate any hints of religiosity, but while I was reading, he demanded that I retell him, but we talked about her in THIS TOPIC.. and I recently read Khodorkovsky Prison and Volya - this is such an educational program to understand what happened, what will be and how it will end, as they say .. but the current we need to go there, and then we'll get hit on the head

Girls, save, help! I choose a gift for my DR, there are only 2 applicants left and then I got stuck, which book to choose: NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight or PocketBook Touch? The difference in price is about UAH 300, for which you can immediately take the cover on NOOK, and the backlight is already present in it. But the non-Russified menu confuses, suddenly I can't figure it out, and it doesn't read enough formats. In general, all in throwing!

Snusmumrik - if you don't feel like messing with firmware, then Pocket is more convenient! More formats and no headaches.

Nook is a cool thing, however, I have no backlight. Elementary firmware. If that - questions in a personal.

Snusmumrik, could not help but join the discussion. The family has 3 e-books. Elbook 8, Pocket 360 and Nook Simple Touch. still without backlight. if you are at least a little bit friends with electronics, I advise all the same Nook with backlight. It is being stitched and it will be with all formats and Russified. I also took Nuq in the online store for me there immediately and asked for it. If it is difficult or not interesting for you, then Pocket is better.

Girls, and I have TEXET 840HD for 6 months! Happy !!! Reads a bunch of formats! And deja vu too (but I have more books in Fb2 format). ! I read every day. My reading speed is very high, I can read 3 books of 300-500 pages per day (if it's a day off). And on vacation so in general ... There are also a lot of video formats. The eyes do not get tired (although my glasses are -12). I love to read and therefore am very pleased. I have already pumped thousands of books for myself. The memory card pulls up to 34 hectares (I have 16)

I will add. Cover-stand for TEKHET is attached. And the price is quite affordable - I bought it for 1100 hryvnia, and in online stores for 200 - 300 gr. cheaper.

What I don’t know, I don’t know. BUT! this can create a problem if only the glitches are with the brain. With my suggestion, my friends and acquaintances purchased almost 10 books and only one had a problem: they dropped a flashlight on the screen and broke it, now they bought a new and the same Nook.
The main charm of this book is that ALL formats are read after the firmware. Installs ANY programs for android 2.

I also have an e-book TEHET 840HD. She makes me very happy. And often you have to travel, then it helps out on the train: you can read, watch a movie, and play games.

[Julifera, lesik_l, Barbarikha]

Julifera, lesik_l, Barbarikha, thanks for your attention and advice!
And you can still ask: if you reflash Nook, will the guarantee be lost? Or not?

any unofficial firmware cuts the guarantee. also, if you fail, you can destroy the brains of a book. Firmware for Nuk is all unofficial.

girls, this is a book of a slightly different format, closer to tablet computers or something ... it has a tft screen, that is, the system of work is like a computer screen, you should try to take the book with electronic ink all the same - there is a lot of harm to the eyes lower than from a screen with a TFT display.

any unofficial firmware cuts the guarantee. also, if you fail, you can destroy the brains of the book. Firmware for Nuk is all unofficial.

Thank you scared! Then Pocket is better, because if suddenly something happens to Nuk's brains when flashing, then I won't be able to buy a new book for a long time.
