Key features and specifications of e-books

Display

Display Type? One of the most important characteristics in the E-Book reader. All displays are readers of manufacturing techniques can be divided into two types:

• E-Ink or electronic ink;
• TFT.

TFT

Displays fabricated using TFT-technology constitute an active matrix consisting of liquid crystals, the same as in smart phones, computer monitors and many other devices.

In the process of improving technology TFT display shows IPS. These monitors have all the advantages and disadvantages of the technology and the parent are more high contrast, an increased viewing angle (up to 178 °), as well as better light transmittances (color depth RGB? 24 bits).

E-Ink

Reading from E-Ink displays objectively more comfortable and causes much less eye fatigue, as these devices in their properties are very similar to a normal book page.

E-Ink-displays have the following modifications:

• E-Ink SiPix, 6: 1;
• E-Ink VizPlex, 7: 1;
• E-Ink Pearl, 10: 1;
• E-ink Pearl HD, 12: 1;
• E-ink Flex, 10: 1;
• O-paper, 12: 1 (development Chinese company OED Technologies CO);
• E-ink triton - color screen;
• E-ink Carta, 15: 1.

The size

Dimensions display electronic book range from 4.3 to 10 inches. Here, buyer selects each size of the device only by itself. Someone like small books, and someone who likes to keep in the hands of a larger model.

Screen resolution

Rather important feature for e-book is the screen resolution. Standard displays for 5? 6 inch resolution is 800 × 600 pixels, and for 9? 10-inch? 1200? 826 pixels.

Memory

Built-in reader for reading memory often can save more than 1,000 e-books (from 1 up to 4 GB), but many devices are equipped with a slot for a memory card if necessary.

operating system

The two types of devices, operating systems used to read e-books:

• Linux (Linux);
• Android (Android).

The difference in these two platforms is negligible. Typically, Android, unlike Linux, the set in the full version, and requires a more powerful battery. However, for the user, this will be completely transparent.

Battery capacity

Most often on the e-books set rechargeable battery with a capacity of 1,000 to 3,000 mAh. And, of course, the higher the score, the more time the device will work without recharging.

However, it should be remembered that if the display with E-Ink technology will work for a long time, the battery capacity for TFT-display will last for 6 ≥ 8 hours of continuous work.

additional Features

The presence of some additional features will expand the functionality of the reader:

• the ability to view video and listen to audio recordings;
• the presence of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and USB-ports;
• special connectors for headphones;
• touch control.

The main types of displays e-books: E-Ink carta or Pearl? what's better

One of the latest developments in the E-Ink technology for e-books is the Carta, which has the minimum contrast of the screen in 15: 1. With the new technology could achieve densities up to 300 pixels per inch. Visual inspection of such a screen is about 50% higher contrast than Pearl. And it will have a higher reflectance (20% higher). The E-Ink Carta supported by the new ability to upgrade screen Regal, which enhances reading comfort and makes the update more "smooth".

Which e-book illuminated better

A sufficiently long period of time, e-books with E-Ink-displays are not supplied with light. This gave difficulty for users who want to read without additional lighting. In 2012, Amazon has solved this problem. In Kindle Paperw installed lights of four LEDs which are arranged in the lower part of the device and illuminate the transparent plate on top of the screen. This light is equipped with a brightness control, as well as the ability to turn off.

American models NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight company Barnes & Noble are equipped with lighting, consisting of 8 diodes. They are located at the top, illuminating the screen, on which a light-scattering evaporation. However, a disadvantage of this design is the possibility of lung damage layer.

Another type of illumination, principally different from the above-described proposed Sony Company. Cover model PRS-T3 is equipped with a flashlight, which can be pulled out. He is powered by the battery of the book itself, which, of course, reduces the battery life.

It is difficult to assess objectively what type of lighting is best. Each user selects the e-book of personal preference.

What is the best file format for electronic books

Modern e-book reader supports a huge number of file formats. The most popular are:

• FB2 (FictionBook);
• EPUB (Electronic PUBlication);
• MOBI;
• TXT;
• PDF (Portable Document Format);
• DJVU;
• LRF;
• RTF (Rich Text Format);
• DOC (and DOCX).

If your e-reader can support all the formats, we recommend you to choose the format, maximum quality reproduced on the reader. It is believed that EPUB and FB2 (book formats) are more readable than the standard computer (PDF, TXT, DOC, DOCX and RTF). The electronic reader with a display size of about 9 inches of the two formats and PDF BDJVU preferable to choose the latter, because it is more modern. BDJVU files in the format can often be in poor quality. It is worth noting that the "book" formats (EPUB, FB2 or MOBI) is much better documented in the menu, take up much less space, and will be processed faster.
