Reading lovers, although they remain as faithful as they can to paper, have considered electronic books to be good at devouring novels. The benefits of these devices are many, and therefore they have finally established themselves as excellent options … especially when traveling. We show what a model should offer to be sure that it is of quality and that it meets the expectations you have to enjoy a good user experience.
In this article we will talk about models that use electronic ink screens and, more specifically, those that include a six-inch one . The reason for this is that, on the one hand, these models offer great autonomy are those that are closest to the paper experience. In what has to do with the dimensions of the panels, the indicated ones assure a high comfort so much when giving them use as when taking them of a side to another one in bags and backpacks. Therefore, they are great accessories.
Features that one of these electronic books should always have
Leaving aside the aforementioned and what has become the filter among all the models that are on the market, in what has to do with the screen you have to look at the resolution it offers. What has to be reviewed is that, at a minimum, the one offered is 800 x 600 , since less makes the letters not very accurate and, therefore, a good reading experience is not achieved. This, by the way, is also beneficial when reviewing PDF documents with images, since a minimum of quality is achieved.
By the way, there are currently more and more models that offer screens illuminated by lamps in the frames (so these electronic ink models are still little harmful to eye health). The case is that if possible it is an excellent idea to get a device that offers this possibility, since in this way one of the restrictions that have been criticized for these products is avoided: not being able to read in the dark.
In what has to do with storage, another fundamental element in electronic books, what should be reviewed is that the chosen model includes 4 GB . Otherwise, if you are an avid reader, you may have excessive limitations when it comes to keeping an extensive library when you leave home. By the way, it is not bad detail to include a card reader , in case at any given time you want to use this type of support to store the eBooks that you have.
Other things to look for a quality model
One of the important has to do with the design. Apart from being a comfortable model to hold, it is important to note that the weight is below 200 grams , since in this way it is certain that the long reading sessions do not end up getting tired (and that they are not a handicap in the backpack) . By the way, the inclusion of physical buttons in the case is not a differential factor, but for many it is something that is much appreciated when managing both the menus and the turning of the pages of the book being read.
Regarding autonomy, rather than looking at the battery’s amperage in particular, the important thing is that the usage time without recharging exceeds at least 20 days of use … something that the vast majority of current electronic books with screens Tita’s birthday. As for connectivity, the recharge itself has to be microUSB , discarding older options. By the way, we believe that it is a good idea that the chosen model includes WiFi , since in this way accessing the eBooks is much simpler and more convenient.
Finally, in the section on compatibility with different file formats, the ideal is to include support for the maximum possible. However, today this is a problem less since there are many tools for computers and mobile devices that effectively and quickly convert what is needed (an example is Caliber).

Next, we leave several devices that due to everything they offer and complying with offering six-inch electronic ink display, we believe they are the most recommended at the moment:
