Before the release of PocketBook 740 Colour, the evolution of electronic "readers" was a very measured step. However, this model has turned the reader industry on its head, as it brings a completely new user experience with e-books. And that's why.
large caliber
The gadget has a paper-like eInk Kaleido screen with support for displaying 4096 shades of colour. From the standard 6" diagonally, its dimensions have grown to 7.8" — and this changes the very essence of displaying colour publications. It is much more comfortable to read magazine articles, tutorials with illustrations and diagrams, and view comics on an enlarged caliber display. In addition, the screen of the model supports touch control.
adaptive backlight
The PocketBook 740 Colour uses regular white backlighting without colour temperature adjustment, which would distort the colour reproduction of the screen. The intensity of the backlight is adjusted both manually and automatically depending on the ambient light conditions. You can quickly adjust it with vertical gestures to the left or right of the touch screen layer.
Voiceover of books
The model runs under the light operating system Linux. The reader has 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage space in the built-in storage. Books of almost any format and audio files are loaded into the device's memory. Also, to store your own library, an expansion slot for a microSD card is provided. A notable feature of the e-reader is Text-to-Speech, which provides voice acting for regular books in different languages. Yes, the accents are sometimes placed incorrectly and sometimes there are stutters, but in general, the PocketBook 740 Colour “digests” texts in a decent way and broadcasts audiobooks through headphones or portable speakers via Bluetooth.
