Last January, the company Arta Tech officially presented its new eReader with an 8-inch screen. Today, months later we can know that this new eReader is available in European stores and that we can buy it for 163 dollars, a little more than 150 euros.
El Inkbook 8 in question is an eReader with an 8 ″ screen with a resolution of 1.024 x 768 pixels, with Letter technology, lighting and touch screen. The InkBook 8 also has a 1,2 Ghz dual core processor, 512 mb of ram and 8 gb of internal storage that can be expanded thanks to its microsd card slot.
In addition to having Wifi and audio output, the eReader has a 2.800 mAh battery, a battery that will give a great autonomy to the device, autonomy that will exceed two months of duration if we have a modest use of the eReader.
InkBook 8 will not have access to the Play Store
InkBook 8 will have Android 4.2 as an operating system, although in this case we will not have access to the Play Store but rather a store created by Arta Tech, the manufacturer of the device. Although possibly the Play Store can be added manually, which would make for a great eReader for those just looking to read on a big screen.
InkBook 8 appears to be a great option for those looking for an eReader with an 8-inch screen, since unlike the Icarus Illumina XL, InkBook 8 is cheaper offering the same, although at the moment Amazon is not one of the stores that offer it in their catalog. We will have to wait a few more days to see it in Spain, but in some countries such as the Netherlands, the sale is already taking place.
What do you think of the new InkBook 8? Do you think it is better than an eReader known as the Kindle? Do you prefer big screen or small screen eReaders?
Manageability can be the keyword, weight, form of page change, settings, dictionaries ...
Many of us have become accustomed to reading using only one hand, to taking the device and that in the second (exactly or less than that) you already have it turned on and on the page where you left it.
When they all have a more than reasonable resolution, a battery life that nobody bothers, it is the manageability that makes the difference.
