PocketBook 606

When reading exciting works of world literature, an electronic reader often has to be held with one hand for several hours in a row. And here a simple rule applies: the less the device weighs, the better. Perhaps the lightest in the class is the "reader" PocketBook 606 weighing only 145 g.

Quality screen eInk Carta

The model will serve as a tasty choice in the low-cost segment of readers without any frills. In its compact case with dimensions of 161x108x8 mm, it was possible to place a recessed 6-inch screen on an eInk Carta matrix substrate. The eyes perceive such a display as good paper and do not get tired when reading books for a long time. The resolution of the screen is 1024x758 pixels, the fonts on it are displayed without characteristic pixel "ladders" and notches.

Button control

The display of the PocketBook 606 is non-touch, and the management of the book is tied to a five-way joystick and sub-screen page turning buttons. For the sake of accessibility to the widest possible audience, the model is devoid of a screen backlight system. And other "luxury" like a built-in browser on board the reader is not expected. An analogue of the model with a backlit screen is presented on store shelves under the name PocketBook 616.

Omnivorous nature

The electronic reader works with 17 formats of books and text documents, including common PDF, EPUB, FB2, DOC, TXT, etc. Memory device "brought" 8 GB. A few thousand more books can easily fit on a microSD flash drive up to 32 GB inclusive, for which there is a separate slot on the bottom of the “reader” case. Finally, due to the lack of a built-in backlight, a single charge of an 800 mAh battery is enough for about 8,000 page turns. To brighten up the pastime on a long journey, casual toys in the memory of the reader will help: sudoku and a snake.
