PocketBook 602 Pro

    The specifics of the modern world implies rather intensive work with information. To receive it at any convenient time, you can use e-books. But it is not convenient to read from a PDA or smartphone, and the laptop does not have such a capacious battery. The solution could be an e-book.
    Most recently, I managed to get myself a pretty good e-book to try. And I would like to publish my impressions of her.
    I apologize in advance for the quality of the photos. For lack of a camera, I took pictures with my phone.

    Device in operation


    imageimage
    When you turn on the book, the menu appears before us as in the picture above from the top left. At the top we see a list of the last three books being opened. In the center of the icon to select the mode of work with the book. And below the clock and calendar, which by the way is much more convenient than watching this information using a mobile phone.
    Navigation through the list of books and menu items is carried out by the joystick. For turning there is a convenient key in the center of the right edge of the book.

    Library

    This mode allows you to select a book to read. You can select from a file on a flash drive, select by genre in the library, or download from bookland.

    • On the tab “files” something like a file manager opens. The book allows you to climb directories up to 6 levels of nesting.
    • The “library” tab allows you to select a book from the library by genre, type or title.
    • If you go to the bookland tab, then the piece of iron will connect via wi-fi and will make it possible to search for the desired book and download from this site. The function resembles that of the Amazon Kindle. What is funny, the book caught a wi-fi network while traveling in a bus from a house located 30 meters from the road, which impressed me =).

    You can watch photos with this piece of iron. More precisely, this function is available in the book, but it is not very convenient to use it due to the low screen resolution and the small number of displayed colors. Apparently it was added in order to keep up with other manufacturers.

    Vocabulary

    When the dictionary is called by the marked or current word, the window of the ABBYY LINGVO universal dictionary appears, in which the corresponding interpretations are given. Both directions are supported from Russian and back in seven languages. In the dictionary, in addition to the translation, you can call up a list of similar words, edit the search word, change the language.

    Applications

    In my version there were only Tetris and Sudoku. But they can be added, as stated in the instructions. Games are not very heavy, but the battery is not weak. The whole problem is in the E-Ink screen, which uses energy to redraw the picture. And the speed leaves much to be desired.

    Music

    I never understood why I need a player in an e-book. However, my girlfriend likes to read to music. So for an amateur. The battery almost does not land.

    My impressions

    Although this is my first e-book, I still have a very good impression of its use. For all two weeks of use, the battery did not even run out half. At the same time, I read at least 5 hours a day.
    The cover protects the book well from scratches, but at the same time does not lose its presentation at all. Each time it seems that you pick up a completely new book.
    Of course, before choosing, you need to try a few more devices, but I would quite stop at this one.
