  • You can use both the touchscreen and the buttons to control your e-reader.
  • The e-reader can't play audio files, so you can't listen to audiobooks.
  • You're less likely to read in the bath or near a pool as this e-reader isn't water-resistant.

I'm happy with it. I'm happy with it.

  • Front/back light
  • Flip screen

  • Stuck with screen tilted. Hangs in flip screen

I was pleasantly surprised with flip screen, the page is a bit wider. Unfortunately, it sticks if you do that for too long. In normal mode this is not an issue. I'm a fan of dark mode and there is that too. Furthermore, the forward and backward buttons are slightly raised. In this version, the menu and on/off button are located on either side of the front and back buttons. Prevents you from pressing the wrong button in the dark.
You have to press the on and off button a little longer, so accidentally pressing it does not happen so quickly. I have seen complaints that the reader does not wake up from sleep mode when you open the case again. He will if you don't wait too long. Standard sleep mode is 10 minutes, adjustable to a maximum of 60. If you exceed that, it will turn off.

I was pleased to discover it has flipscreen, making the page wider. Unfortunately it hangs in that mode. Not with the regular screen.
Personally I prefer dark mode and I'm glad it's included.
Back and front buttons are in the middle, the menu and on/off buttons are on the sides. Back/front buttons are raised so you won't press the wrong buttons in the dark.
You have to press the on/off button a little longer, so there's no risk of turning it off when you think you're flipping to the next page.
It goes to sleep when you close the cover, if you have one. Some people complain it's not waking up when the cover is opened again.
It does, if you don't wait too long. Standard sleeptime is 10 minutes, adjustable to maximum 60 minutes. Open the cover within that period and your reader will wake up.

Great e-reader, but breaks very easily

  • Buttons to go to next page
  • Reads fine
  • Screen breaks easily

Bought this e-reader four months ago, because I was looking for a simple and affordable e-reader. In principle a fine e-reader: you can easily put books on it, reading is fine and it's nice that it has physical buttons and not just a touchscreen. After those four months, however, the screen was suddenly completely streaked when I took it out of my bag and I can throw it away. After some googling it turns out that this happens very easily with this e-reader if it bumps against something or something and that you then also have no warranty. So now I regret that I did not go for a more expensive one that lasts longer. Therefore I would not recommend it to others, or perhaps only if you put it in a sturdy case.
