Unbox丨Palm reading ireader color 7 color ink screen e-book reader, with the key points of selection and use of the e-paper book!Color ink screen reader
I probably started to have a fixed reading habit when I changed jobs for the third time, mainly because I changed my working environment and position, and suddenly accepted more business levels, I realized that I was not capable, and I wanted to expand my professional knowledge and management ability through reading and charging. But it's common to read physical books on paper.
By chance, I saw Amazon's Kindle **White e-book reader in the office of the company's chief engineer, and I suddenly met an old friend I hadn't seen for many years. After I started playing with it, my love for it increased a lot. So I didn't hesitate to buy the newly released Amazon Kindle Voyage at that time, and have been using this black and white ink screen e-book reader to this day.
1. The font size can be adjusted
We need to stare at a computer screen for long periods of time while working. Over time, the eyes become more and more prone to feeling dry and tired. To alleviate this, we can opt for a larger font size so that it will be easier to read. In contrast, paper books often have small fonts that can't be adjusted, and they can be tiring after turning a few pages. The font size of the e-book reader can be adjusted to make it easier to read even without glasses.
2. Cheap
Nowadays, paper books often cost more than 30 yuan, and there are a large number of free e-book resources available on the Internet. In addition, genuine e-books in book cities are usually only 1 3 to 1 4 of paper books. Although e-book readers are more expensive to start with, it is generally less expensive to read books with an e-book reader in the long run.
3. The body is small and easy to carry
Today's e-book readers are much lighter, with most of them weighing less than 200 grams. In contrast, a 200-page paper book usually weighs more than 250 grams, but can still be held in one hand, and those that exceed 1,000 pages weigh even more incomprehensibly and can only be read respectfully on the table.
Most e-book readers today are also equipped with a screen backlight function, which allows people who love to read to enjoy the joy of "immersive" reading, even in low-light environments or under the covers.
4. Save space
The total floor area is 7The 80,000-square-meter Tsinghua University Library has a collection of 578 books610,000 copies. At present, most mainstream e-book readers come standard with 64GB storage space, and according to the capacity of 3MB occupied by each e-book, an e-book reader can hold about 21,845 books. Moreover, the built-in search function of the e-book is powerful, and you can quickly find relevant books and content by simply entering the title and keywords.
At present, there are hundreds of e-book reader models on the market, and which one to choose depends on the needs of the individual.
1. Budget
This is a very real problem, how much money you have can do big things. Buying anything should not make it a burden on life. But more often than not, the larger the screen of an e-book reader, the more expensive it is.
If you are only reading an e-book with few charts and **, you can consider buying an e-book reader with a 6-inch or 7-inch screen, which is usually between 500 and 800 yuan.
If you regularly read PDF files with a lot of formulas, diagrams, and **, you'll need to increase your budget to opt for an e-book reader with a larger screen. Equipped with 10 inches to 13Models with 3-inch screens cost between 2,000 and 6,000 yuan.
If you want to have a richer color display and like to read comics, you can consider buying a model equipped with a color ink screen, with a budget of about 800 1500 yuan.
2. The type of books you often read and the reading apps you use
Each brand of e-book reader has its own e-book city, for example, the Palm iReader series uses the "Palm Reading Book City", while the Kindle uses Amazon. If you want to use third-party reading software such as WeChat Reader, then you can only choose an e-reader brand that supports these third-party reading apps, such as iReader.
3. Handwriting function requirements
Nowadays, many e-book readers provide normal reading functions while also adding a stylus function, which can make handwritten annotations for PDF files. These devices usually have larger screens. As for whether these functions are needed, it needs to be decided according to the specific needs of the individual, and the ** of this type of device is relatively higher.
My budget is about 1500 RMB, which can be adjusted appropriately.
I already have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ tablet, a workhorse phone, the Sony Xperia 1 V, and a spare phone, the iPhone SE 3rd generation. What I needed was a purer e-book reader that didn't need to be too bulky.
I often use the WeChat reading app, and I also occasionally read comics and pdf files. Therefore, I need an e-book reader with a color ink screen.
The iReader Color 7 eBook Reader meets all the criteria I listed above. It uses the latest Kaleido 3 color e-paper technology and supports 300ppi black and white resolution and 150ppi color resolution. But in terms of parameters, the display effect of Color 7 is more delicate and more vivid than any previous generation of color ink screen e-books.
At first glance, the outer box looks plain, and the front uses color-changing printing technology to outline the body of the iReader Color 7. As the visual angle changes, the words "color 7" also change color.
The contents include an iReader Color 7 e-reader computer wrapped in matte plastic film, a three-pack voucher, a small card for the user guide and a Type-C cable.
The 7-inch screen has two physical page turning buttons on the right side. The pressure is moderate and the button rebounds stably, without the slightest shaking.
The back of the reader has an asymmetrical design that combines ergonomics, making it feel better when held in one hand.
From left to right at the top, there are red switch buttons, microphone 1, USB-C port and microphone 2, judging from these two microphone radio ports, the recording effect of ireader color 7 is definitely not bad.
There is a speaker cutout on the right side of the bottom.
Touch the top switch to turn it on, and you can see the three modules at the bottom of the screen: bookshelves, book city, and settings. The bookshelf displays the most recently read books and all the books stored inside the iReader Color 7 device, with support for custom folders.
Tap the "Book City" icon in the ** area at the bottom of the screen to enter the Palm Reading ** e-book city. Use the same palm reading ID to log in to other devices such as mobile phones and tablets, and you can synchronize the bibliography and reading records.
Enter the "Settings" and "About" pages in turn, and you can see the device model, system version, running memory, and storage space information.
Click the back button in the upper left corner, and you can see preset software such as file management and Youdao cloud notes on the "Application" interface. Just click the menu button in the upper right corner, and you can **read the deeply adapted WeChat reading, Bilibili comics, and Euro dictionary through palm reading.
Open the WeChat reading app, and the operation interface is basically the same as the mobile version. It also supports WeChat book reviews and ideas functions, and you can also use ireader color 7 to make reading notes in WeChat reading.
The finale is usually saved until the end!I opened the comics in the palm book city with great anticipation, and sure enough, the iReader Color 7 equipped with the new color e-paper Kaleido 3 of Yuantai Technology did not disappoint me. The screen color of this color ink screen e-book is indeed vivid enough, and it can already be comparable to the color printing effect of paper.
In color mode, iReader Color 7 has two color display schemes: "Vivid" and "Morandi". Through actual testing, I found that it would be better to choose the "vivid" display mode when reading comics.
After using it for a while, I usually put the iReader Color 7 in my jacket pocket, just like using a mobile phone, and I can easily use the fragmented time to read.
1. The screen is clear, the colors are bright, and it supports cold and warm two-color backlight
Regardless of whether the backlight is turned on or not, the viewing angle of the e-ink screen is basically the same as that of a paper book, and the clarity and color vividness of the screen can not be affected by ambient light. In a brightly lit environment, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ tablet's overall reading experience is far inferior to that of the iReader Color 7.
In low-light environments, the iReader Color 7 screen supports warm and cold backlighting and 28 levels of brightness adjustment for the reading light, which is more comfortable than the LCD screen of the iPhone SE. What's more, the larger size of the screen also provides a longer distance than a mobile phone.
2. Support Bluetooth page turner
iReader Color 7 has a built-in Bluetooth function, which can be connected to a Bluetooth page-turner and then combined with the bedside bracket, so you can enjoy the joy of reading while lying under the covers at night.
3. Lightweight, portable, ergonomic design
The seven-inch screen is a modest size, weighs only 163 grams, and the thin and light body is ergonomically designed for a better grip on the side. The physical page turning button on the fuselage is more convenient to operate, and it can also adjust the function with the rotation of the screen.
3. Built-in voice listening, support***
For book lovers who like to listen to books and "sleep down", the listening function of iReader Color 7 is a proper bedside sleep aid. You can even let it come **before bedtime if you want**.
Since the Kindle Voyage does not support the WeChat reading function, I usually use my mobile phone with the WeChat reading app to read before buying this color ink screen e-book reader. However, despite the high resolution of the Sony Xperia 1 V's 4K screen, it still can't avoid the OLED screen flickering problem in low-light environments. In order to protect my eyes when reading at night, I specially bought the third-generation iPhone SE with an LCD screen, to some extent, the LCD screen of this phone does have a certain "eye protection" effect.
After this period of experience, I spend most of my reading time using iReader Color 7, which also supports the WeChat reading function. And because it has a larger screen and is less likely to cause eye fatigue, it has basically replaced the third-generation iPhone SE with an "eye protection screen".
