textWhen was the last time you wanted to buy Kindle? Or when did you last come up with your own kindle? Do not know since when, e-book readers have become the standard to enhance the quality of life, even if you do not like to read books want to buy one. Although it cannot replace the unique texture and reading enjoyment of paper books, Winning is convenient and practical, and it has become the choice of more and more book lovers. But Hong Kong, how much do you know about ebook readers?
Today, the tenth issue of Zhang Da Ma Encyclopedia talked with everyone about e-book readers. Apart from comprehensively reviewing the relevant contents of the previous stations, we also compiled the e-book readers' past and present lives, hoping to solve everyone’s most wanting problems. Know the problem: Is it worthwhile to buy e-book readers and what other choices do we have in addition to kindle?
First, the history of e-book reader developmentThe first time people tried to make paper books more portable and automated, it was in 1949. At the time, a female teacher from Spain, Angel Ruiz Robles, attempted to reduce the burden on students by printing the text in a reel-encased suitcase that was more portable. Although not widely promoted, the concept was still valuable. This "mechanical encyclopedia" is recognized as the first automated reader.
The text is truly electronic, but also goes back to the famous "PG: Project Gutenberg" in 1971. It was developed by the American writer Michael Hart at that time, committed to electronicizing and archiving literary works and encouraging the creation and distribution of electronics. book. But the invention of the first e-reader was in 1991, 20 years later. Sony introduced an e-reader. The heavy-looking reader is about 1 kilogram in weight. Machines and hardware are expensive, and they can be consumed by ordinary people:
EBook readers really began to enter the eyes of ordinary people, Rocket eBook and SoftBook contributed. In the late 1990s, the appearance of e-book readers was very close to that of paper books. Although the size is not as portable as it is today, backlit screens, large storage, long standby time, and online shopping books have all been It is very close now.
The prevalence of kindle has brought e-ink screens to more people's horizons, but in fact the first e-book reader equipped with e-ink screens came from Sony's LIBRIe launched in Japan. However, unfortunately, it failed to get it right.
The final popularity of e-book readers is also the appearance of kindle, now familiar to everyone. On November 19, 2007, Amazon introduced its first Kindle reader. Although many people, including Jobs, before the announcement were not optimistic, they had sold out in five and a half hours. Then, the basics are the familiar kindle era. The original Kindle is longer:
A small reader may seem simple, but it has evolved into what it is today after decades of evolution. With the popularity of e-books now rising, more and more brands have come to share, including Barnes & Noble, Sony, kobo, and domestic Hanwang, Boyue, etc., all of which have a good product, about e-books The choice of readers is also increasing.
Second, the classification of e-book readersWith regard to e-book readers, the biggest difference at present is the screen display technology. The current mainstream display technologies mainly include:
(1) E-Ink electronic ink screenThis everyone is very familiar with the current Kindle as the representative of the e-book reader is the use of this electronic ink screen, the characteristics of the signboard is a black and white display effect. Founded in 1997, E-Ink was one of the first companies to start researching electronic ink technology. At present, E-Ink has become synonymous with electronic ink screens. Commonly used Amazon Kindles and Sony Readers on the market are all based on its technology.
The part that is too technical is not mentioned for the time being. It is only about the characteristics of the electronic ink screen:
1, black and white display effect, refresh slow: This is the most intuitive performance, e-ink reader only black and white gray, and the refresh rate calculated in seconds is not worth mentioning in front of various smart device screens, so only Used to display static or low frame dynamic pictures;
2, ultra-low power consumption: electronic ink screen structure is relatively simple, only in the screen conversion will consume power, when reading is completely without the need to consume power, so has the characteristics of ultra-low power consumption, the current E- Ink devices generally have long standby times of several weeks or even months.
3, the display effect is close to the traditional paper: electronic ink screen has also been a "reflective display", that is, the use of refracted light to simulate the characteristics of traditional paper, completely without backlight source, the reading effect is very close to the paper effect, even if read under direct sunlight It does not make people feel dazzling (of course it is not recommended), and reading for a long time is not easy to cause fatigue.
(2) LCD displayLCD, the full name of Liquid Crystal Display, is a liquid crystal display technology commonly found in various electronic smart devices. Unlike E-Ink, which emits natural light, LCDs are also called "emissive displays," meaning that the screen needs to have its own light source. The LCD can display a wide color gamut, and the page refreshes quickly. The traditional LCD screen can refresh the screen at a rate of 30X per second, so it can be used to display more colors and smoother animation effects. Common ipad and kindle fire Such a display is used for the flat panel.
The characteristics of the LCD are almost corresponding to and complementary to E-Ink:
1, the color display effect, refresh speed: This also destined for LCD and E-Ink will have their own different areas of application;
2. Faster power consumption: Since the LCD needs to have its own light source, the power consumption during use is high, and the battery life is short. If the LCD is used frequently, it is possible to use one lightly day.
3, not suitable for long time reading use: and electronic ink screen close to the effect of traditional paper is different, LCD color screen for a long time to read easily cause visual fatigue, use in the sun will be very harsh and poor display.
※ Of course, both have their own characteristics, and they are destined to have different uses. E-Ink is more suitable for long-term reading experience, and LCD is more suitable for playing games on the net. It cannot simply assert who is superior or not. .
Third, choose e-book reader need to consider what? (1) Is it the choice of kindle or ipad?This is a fish and bear's paw problem. As mentioned earlier, ebook readers represented by kindle are very close to real paper effects, and they have long battery life and are suitable for reading for a long time. However, the corresponding refreshing efficiency is low and the functions are simple. The entertainment of the ipad needless to say, as for the reading function, although the tablet can also be used to read books, but the battery life is short, and the screen display does not apply to reading for a long time. Which one you choose, you also need to make a choice. Just want to buy a focus reading helper, e-book reader is currently the best choice.
(2) Specific useIf you look at eBooks in everyday formats such as txt and epub, e-book readers such as Kindle can meet the demand. If you are looking for professional documents or images in formats such as PDF, they are more suitable for large screen readers. Such as iPad or Sony Dafa 13.3 inch DPTS1.
(3) Display effectSince it is used to read books, of course, to take into account the actual screen display, this mainly relates to the screen and the specific resolution, the general merchandise official website or shopping page will have specific parameters, must be clear.
(4) e-book resource libraryThe reason why kindle still has such a high market share, in addition to its excellent quality, the strong Amazon e-book resource base behind it is also a major advantage.
(5) Is the backlight important?Need not need the back light, it is the choice that many people face when choosing the e-book reader, after all, there is still a lot of money that does not have the back light. The backlight does not need to be in the end, after the value of Friends @ former Leopard on this issue has been compared:

(1) The backlight is turned off, indoor: contrasted by daytime, evening, and evening lamps:
(2) Backlights turn on, indoor: daytime, night, night off lights contrast:
From the above figure, it can be seen that in the daytime, it is not very important to turn on the lights without turning on the light (different mobile phones may have slight differences in color), and if the indoor light source is strong at night, there is basically no problem. But usually the bedroom lights are relatively dim, and no reading light is a bit difficult. Long-term reading is not very good for the eyes. In case of turning off the lights, the lights are not dazzling and reading is completely OK. Therefore, if there is no need to turn off the lights to read books at night or if you are used to reading books under the desk lamp, the backlit money can actually be saved. However, if you prefer to read books without a lamp at night, the backlit version should be more suitable for you.
Fourth, the e-book reader which strong (1) Amazon KindleFirst and foremost, there is no doubt about the love of the Amazon Kindle family. As electronic paper books, all aspects of configuration and performance are relatively stable, the disadvantage is that the price is not high, especially the high-end flagship models. It has been ten years since the introduction of the first Kindle in 2007, and the Kindle is constantly updating. Regarding the various changes of kindle, the value of Friends @sy333111 has been very carefully explained:

At present, the kindle e-book reader has four series of Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Voyage, and Kindle Oasis. Each kind of Kindle's various configurations are compared as follows:
Kindle Starter Edition: Kindle Paperwhite can be seen as a low-profile, 6-inch infrared touch screen, 167ppi, 800 x 600 resolution, no backlight, 4GB of memory, no kpw good quality shell, the back is pockmarked, somewhat rough, no kpw smooth. Located in the student population, built a number of dictionary books such as "Modern Chinese Dictionary", "modern English-Chinese Dictionary". Although it is an entry-level version, the basic functions are all less. The less is the backlight function and the resolution is lower. If you don't care about buying this one, the performance is also good, and the price is 558 yuan.

Kindle Paperwhite: The first generation was launched on September 5th, 2012 and is currently updated to the third generation. It is the earliest Kindle's electric paper book with backlight. Resolution and refresh rate is higher than the entry-level version, the latest version of Kindle Paperwhite 3 PPI reached 300, resolution 1448×1072, already the same as Kindle Voyage, priced at 958. If you say that the most cost-effective kindle, probably Kindle Paperwhite 2, there is a backlight, the resolution is higher than the entry-level, used 450-550 yuan can buy.

Kindle Voyage: The flagship reader released on September 18th, 2014, with a 6-inch touch display, a pixel density of 300ppi, a resolution of 1,448 x 1072, and a price of 1499. The new shape design, a change in the past of the concave design, the screen is no longer sag, flush with the surrounding frame. The screen panel is made of reinforced glass. The glass cover is micro-etched to diffuse the light source. On the one hand, it ensures that there is no glare under the light, and on the other hand, it guarantees a similar paper-like touch. Remove the physical button on the border and move the power button to the back. Both sides of the fuselage frame use a specially designed pressure sensor, just put the thumb on the left and right sides of the frame, gently press to turn pages.

Kindle Oasis: The new generation Tyrant version, released on April 13, 2016, is still equipped with a 6-inch e-ink screen, 300PPI, with a resolution of 1448×1072, the same as Kindle Voyage. The lighting backlight system has been strengthened, the uniformity and brightness of the screen display have been upgraded, and comfortable reading has been improved under various lighting conditions. The most obvious change is based on ergonomics using a new asymmetric design, a wider side frame, one-hand grip feel more comfortable, and the built-in gravity sensor automatically rotates. With the official charging leather case, the official said that the longest standby time is as long as 20 months, and is the most powerful generation ever. In short, it is the best performance and the most expensive kindle electric paper book ever. The price of the country's bank is 2,399 yuan.

Each kindle has a different positioning and focus. Value Friends @ Dongsanguy had previously compared three of them. Need to see:

In addition to the famous kindle, there is a declining aristocrat in the electronic paper book - Barno NOOK. In October 2009, the American old bookstore Barnes & Noble followed up with Amazon to launch an Android-based Nook e-book reader. Its star product Nook Glowlight was also a very eye-catching electric paper book. The configuration was basically the same for KPW and KV, but the total amount was lighter and there were more metal shells and IP67 waterproof and dustproof functions. Thanks to Android, Nook has faster page turning speeds and supports pdf. However, KPW's screen is better and more user-friendly for domestic users.

Kobo is also the mainstream e-book brand in Europe and the United States, from Canada. In 2011, it was acquired by Japan Lotte and began to open a new world in the Asian market. In 2004, it also took over Sony's e-book business. From kobo mini to Aura H2O, kobo currently offers a variety of different size and focus machines for different needs, of which Kobo Aura is a direct competitor to KPW and the configurations are very close. Compared with the former two, Kobo's advantage lies in its higher cost performance and its brighter designs. Its flagship model KOBO AURA H2O also had a sun list:

Although Sony transferred its e-book business to KOBO in 2014, its hot reading artifact DPT-S1 still has to be mentioned. 13.3-inch E-ink electronic ink screen with resolution up to 1200 x 1600. The biggest selling point is the use of Mobius flexible plastic substrate, which is flexible, lightweight and ultra-thin, supports the stylus, is comparable to the real writing experience, greatly reducing the zoom and scroll operation of the document reading, is currently the most suitable Reader for processing PDF files. However, there are also disadvantages. There is no backlight and the price is high, which is why many people have not been able to start.

There are also some good choices in domestic e-book readers, such as Hanwang. Founded in 1998, Hanwang is a technology company with handwriting recognition and OCR recognition as the core technology. It can often see various office equipment from its home. Hanwang launched China's first electric paper book in 2008, and has been occupying a large share of the domestic electric paper book market since then. There are three series of electronic paper books, the gold house and gold house note three series, the advantage lies in inexpensive, but also for txt, doc, pdf and many other daily file formats are more friendly.

The domestic well-known reading APP Palm Reader launched in 2016 an iReader plus reader, all aspects of the configuration are also good, the third-generation carta ink screen, resolution rose to 1440X1080, to reach the level of the retina, more suitable for reading 6.8 inches The screen and 8G capacity are relatively bright. The function is also very powerful, mobi, txt, epub, pdf and most of the mainstream format e-books are supported. However, although the system is based on Android, it cannot install APPs on its own, and the amount of resources for reading e-books is still lower than that of the Kindle. The value of 999 is not worth buying.

According to @geoceo's share of life, simply talk about the hardware configuration, Jingdong e-book reader is slightly higher than KPW3, and slightly lower than KV, so it is still cost-effective. Moreover, as with KV, a flat screen with 300PPI is used, which means that the screen is flush with the frame. This design makes the electronic paper book more concise and beautiful. At present, there are fewer electronic paper books using this design. Workmanship is also good, flat screen, rounded borders, in his hand a very strong sense. The body is also relatively thin in the electric paper book. However, the native system only supports a few e-book formats such as EPUB and PDF, and the resources of Jingdong Book City e-book are still relatively backward.

Of course, in addition to these relatively common e-book readers, there are other relatively niche options. For details, refer to:

Electronic products, most people are most worried about buying refurbished machines, others used, even if once, that is not the same nature. Therefore, it is very important to identify yourself.

Of course, if the official way to solve the problem is to choose the official route, if one's own hand is broken, it will not be worth the loss. However, for some common minor problems or friends who have had a warranty period, there are also examples of successful friends who have no value.
