Aluratek Libre Air eReader


If anything gives way to see, because it costs money, it's unfair, so I'm probably guilty of unrealistic expectations about my assessment Aluratek open electronic book reader. This electronic book reader today is nothing more than a platform for people to buy books. So in a sense, I think the load on the e-book reader is a bit "as a registration fee for the mega-bookstore.
Certainly be justified, especially with many sofas where customers sometimes arrogant of receipt by drinking half a dozen caramel macchiato and books without paying for it. But if you're looking for people and spend their money, and asked them to fork C-Note has no means of livelihood. With a starting price of $ 129, the air is not just luck, but not completely change or meat. The question is whether the state? I'll let you know soon. But something in the first project outside.

Design and Performance

The first thing that comes to the open feeling, its similarity with the remote control. Any conventional type, but the vast, flat, rectangular universal remotes try to use very complicated. One reason could be a series of buttons that run vertically, opposite, or the fact that the 4 x 7 inches is a lot less than some e-book reader market. That's not good to call someone, and not a long shot, but it is ugly. Put it this way: no one has been issued designers, equipment, or electronic book reader to accuse the world of modern life - but not all are good enough to work in the Amazon, Aluratek radio.
Common plastic outer shell that looks like it may, if dropped from a height of several inches to the left, but fortunately, support rubber pads do a good job in a firm grip and a table to immobility - Insurance risk of accidents.
Page forward and back buttons are placed logically and sensitive, it can be expected. Unfortunately, the variety is the spice of life, the designer should ensure that if for some reason, tires and services, you can do the same up, down, left or right in a four-way controller, that life is just below the screen. There is a navigation sensor in the center of 4-times, "Enter" button is used to execute some commands (I think it's technically five controller). To use the sensor to navigate your finger on it, and go in the direction you want to move.
Quasi-regulatory control, there are three buttons with functions similar to those on the face of the average smart phone "Options", "Volver," "Home" and a password. Once you get used to what each of them to move easily.

Display

Then I began to develop the meat out of air and light. According to the website Aluratek, Outdoors "Big 5 cm" But if you ask me, not what I thought too - if you read the upgrade experience packet of chewing gum, or maybe a smart phone. In any case, it is a colorless open-resolution large LCD screen, even when in direct light conditions. EInk is not and it looks like the original Nintendo Boy imaging technology. It's a good job under the right conditions.
As Amazon Kindle has a screen that is not lit, so it should be easier on the eyes. But I thought that the tests in different settings, the screen resolution makes a very readable in the sun is almost impossible to see a little ", this is not the kind of eye strain, and is easily accessible eInk. Of course, the screen, eliminating the annoying flash is unbelievable the amount each time the page forward or backward eInk device is definitely positive. However, for all movements, which had to do to get a clear picture of what comes to light in the air on the open market, I like to deal with good and bad, with eInk.
But that's not all bad news abroad. There are some good things about him. One is that the cold has the ability to automatically rotate to the screen to focus on the right side or side-up again. For the record, it only works when the device is again horizontally to the left of the landscape, then right back to your regular player, but not a big problem. You can also turn off when you put your car is not for you.
There is a great car on the road on the other hand, you can define what happens when all the 5, 10, 20, 30 / 2 (up to a minute), when not physically carry them to the problem of controlling paging. I'm not sure which would be used for other purposes, may provide a reading experience more transparent while driving - which is always a good idea - but there is a possibility.
The sensitivity and response to management works surprisingly well, with one important exception: Kobo library. In this case, words such as heavy, bulky and uncomfortable, not only strong enough to describe the experience. And here is the Achilles heel of free air. Search online bookstore for me is a nightmare. Together with the fact that digital type looking for a specific title or author, becomes a multi-tap, which is delivered, whether traditional, suddenly realized that this is not the best electronic book reader less each. Of course, the download speeds are decent books - but because I was always a mini username, password and Kobo libraries to act quickly to pass through the comparison. After removing the books downhill. Go ahead, although the pain.

Features

EBook creator does not confuse the order in demanding jobs like me and try to win with a bonus. In this context, the Aluratek is actually a decent job. First, unlike its previous incarnation, air Wi-Fi
External tried to intimidate some of its drawbacks, 100 - That's right, count 'em up, 100 - pre-installed books 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Wuthering Heights. Of course, all the songs are classics in the public domain so do not expect the First World War Z - but there must be sufficient to achieve the imagination and knowledge.
Freedom Air also includes an integrated audio player and picture viewer, either manually, no problems connecting to a computer with a USB cable and an electronic reader to download by clicking and dragging. Fortunately there were unpleasant discussions "Sync", and the process is simple and intuitive. Music player for MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG and WAV - but the only drawback is that the external speakers, and if necessary to headphones (included). Picture Viewer: JPG, BMP, GIF. External formats in a wide range of formats, including ePub ebooks, PDF, DRM and non-TXT, FB2, MOBI, PRC and RTF.

CONCLUSION


if you pass an electronic book reader $ 129 if you have some arguments against Amazon makes sense in the world for a few dollars more, a spring of light, rather than spend. You might even say that the angle is a better choice - certainly much more competitive prices. In general, the price per kilogram of air is too high for its location, and it is frustrating to fly. If spilled, much more affordable $ 75, which could have a different recommendation. However, at current prices, the captain is a keeper.

GOOD

BAD
