And unlike popular phones and tablets, which can get washed out in direct sunlight or boast a mighty and painful glare, many e-readers use E Ink, which produces something of a monochromatic text display. Plus, dedicated e-readers don't have email, the internet, social media or other distracting entertainment options to lure you away from reading. Sure, you could read an ebook on your phone, but that's not an ideal experience. To help you find the best one for your needs, we've rounded up the best e-reader options on the market right now.

They're also cost-effective: You can find tons of ebooks, articles and even some graphic novels for free online, including from your local library. Not only are they lightweight, allowing you to take them just about anywhere, but many models feature built-in lighting so they're easy to use in low-light conditions.

INKBOOK CLASSIC 2 REVIEW SOFTWARE

The Kobo Clara HD would be a good choice it costs a little more but it has solid software and hardware.While many people love the feeling of a real book in their hands, it's tough to beat the convenience of e-readers. (I am still trying to get the frontlight on video its range is so small that it’s really hard to pick up.)Ĭonclusion: Buy something else. The Lumos did have one small point in its favor, though its frontlight was quite mild, and was actually nicer to use than the frontlight on Kobo devices. Setting both buttons on the right to page forward would have been a good idea.) (To be fair, I realized while writing this review that I could have fixed this annoyance by changing the settings on the page turn buttons. I kept flipping back a page when I wanted to go forward. There’s a pair of buttons on either side of the screen, and they are too close together. I also found myself frequently frustrated by the page turn buttons. Furthermore, I found that I could not get apps to run due to limited RAM (512 MB). The Lumos runs a buggy and unstable reading app that kept crashing when it wasn’t getting stuck in a feedback loop of phantom touchscreen presses. With most ereaders that would be a strong recommendation, but with the Lumos those 3 books instead gave me enough time to truly appreciate the ereader’s shortcomings.

I really got into the first book in a series, so I kept reading the second and third installments on the Lumos. I spent a couple weeks reading on the Lumos.

That’s what the specs would tell you, but real life use has shown me that the screen resolution isn’t a problem (I didn’t even notice) but the software is.

INKBOOK CLASSIC 2 REVIEW ANDROID

If you read its specs you would think that the Lumos’s selling points include a color-shifting frontlight and the option of installing reading apps on Android 4.2.2, and that its chief weakness was an 800 x 600 screen resolution.

INKBOOK CLASSIC 2 REVIEW INSTALL

Half the value of an Android ereader is installing Android apps, so if I can’t install apps then this might as well be a basic ereader that runs Linux rather than Android. I’m going to half to test this further, but what I have seen so far is not encouraging. It crashes the first three times I ran it, and once I managed to log in, the app struggled to even show me my library. I can live with the screen (it’s the same resolution as on the basic Kindle) but the RAM shortfall has proven to be a serious issue.Īrta Tech makes it easy to install the Kindle app (it takes just two clicks) but that doesn’t really help any because I can’t run the Kindle app. (There’s also no Google Play, but that was to be expected for low-cost device.) The Lumos has a low-resolution 800 x 600 E-ink screen and is limited to only 512 RAM, which means that even though you can install your own Android apps, they’re not going to run fast or look as god as they would on better Android ereaders. It runs Android 4.2 on a dual-core CPU, and it has a color-changing frontlight as well as a card slot, but it also has its weaknesses. With a price tag of $100 ( at Amazon), the Lumos is intended to be a competitor to the basic Kindle, and it has its strengths. The InkBook Lumos from Arta Tech is an odd little beast. Update: This post combines both an introduction and first look, as well as a more in depth review posted on 11 September. For the first time in a very long while, a new review unit has crossed my desk.
