Yes, yesterday we were talking about the arrival of this digital book reader called Icarus Illumina XL for the month of November, just today has been put in reserve to be able to acquire it at the moment it is launched.
An ereader with an 8-inch screen that lends itself to have larger dimensions, so reading can become more enjoyable if you are one of those users who falls short of the six that you see in other readers.
The Illumina XL is characterized by an 8-inch screen and by have Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. In all ways, the Illumina XL is a larger version than its previous 6-inch Icarus Illumina. Like this model, it has a front light, touch screen, audio and an 8 GB internal storage, although where something can be blamed is in the same screen resolution.
This resolution is 1024 x 760 and does not come from your competitor's e-paper display, but rather on a lower resolution that of the Pocketbook Inkpad or the Onyx Boox i86. In the pixel density it is 160 ppi, but it does not reach that sharpness of the 250ppi of the other screens.
