E-books are a fairly popular and functional alternative to traditional paper books. In most cases they are more practical, as they are essentially a pocket library.
Advantages of e-book readers
Modern technologies offer many ways for education and entertainment: Internet resources, television, Apple TV . However, the book is still an important and reliable source of new information, both instructive and entertaining. However, paper books are inconvenient for their size, and it can be inconvenient to carry more than one edition at a time. In this regard, e-books are more practical. Also, their benefits include the following:
- Reduced eye strain. The design of book readers does not imply radiation, but the reflection of light, as is the case with ordinary books. This allows you not to strain your eyes too much.
- Good visibility of the text in the sun. This is due to the same light reflection. On electronic devices like smartphones or tablets, the screen fades a lot in sunny weather, making it hard to read.
- Compact and lightweight. They are often noticeably lighter than tablets of the same size.
- High autonomy. Unlike many modern technological devices, such as robot vacuum cleaner Xiaomi Viomi Cleaning , e-books can work for about a month without the need to recharge. This is due to the fact that energy is consumed in them only in the process of changing the image, after which the page can be read for an almost unlimited amount of time.
How to choose an eBook
First of all, you need to decide on the type of screen. There are two varieties in modern models:
- Electronic ink E-ink. The display contains microcapsules with black and white pigments and a colorless oily base. Pigments have different charges, and therefore, when voltage is applied, they are attracted to the electrodes or repelled from them. However, after the image is formed, it is retained even if the power is turned off.
- LCD displays based on TFT matrixes. Books with such a screen lose all the advantages of readers and become a slightly worse version of tablets.
Also, when buying, you should pay attention to the following:
- built-in highlighting;
- support for a large number of formats;
- the diagonal, which should be 6-7 inches for ease of transportation;
- additional functions and their need.
