ORSIO b721 e-book at a glance

    ORSIO b721 is another clone of the Taiwanese StarBook with a new title. We already saw a similar clone, this is ExPlay TXT.book. True, unlike a fellow, the new version is distinguished by more advanced software and a more capacious SD card in the kit.

    SCREEN The
    screen on this book is of the previous generation, from which all the disadvantages follow in comparison with the screen installed LBook V3 / SONY PRS-505. Namely: low contrast, dark gray background, slow updating of information and the rest of the previous page when updating.

    BY
    Linux operating system from the company Warelex (www.warelex.com), which with a very weak processor gives a short battery life, about 12-15 hours. Supports HTML, TXT, FB2, RTF, DjVu formats. There is only one font, but there is an opportunity to choose 6 sizes from impossibly small to acceptable. Support for all formats from the ZIP archive. Support JPG, PNG and MP3.

    EXECUTION
    The execution is no different from the original StarBook: a thin plastic case, with a “soft rubber” texture, pleasant to the touch. Bottom right four-position button with an additional center. On the sides of the device are additional chrome control buttons (volume, back, ...).

    EQUIPMENT
    Book, 2GB SD card, vertical case (curious version with magnetic latches and built-in stand), PSU (miniUSB), miniUSB-USB cable, headphones (any will not work, because the jack has a micro jack), a cord on your hand, warranty card (service center only in Moscow), user manual (leaflet in A5 format).

    CONCLUSION
    The device is relevant two years ago. StarBook, which has purchased a large number of old screens, is now struggling to get rid of them. The cost of 7980 rubles for such a device, in my opinion, is very high, provided that the LBook V3 can already be bought for less than 9000 rubles and the price for it continues to fall.
