inkBook 8

It seems like Arta Tech has a new website and an 8-inch digital inkBook reader is available here in Europe. The device is known as inkBook 8 and is based on Android.

Among its most notable features is its 8-inch display, front light, Wi-Fi connectivity, 8 GB of internal storage, micro SD card, capacitive touch screen, dual core chip clocked at 1 GHz and 1 GB of RAM.

The inkBook 8 has an 8-inch E Ink Pearl display with a 1024 x 768 resolution with a ppi of 160. If compared to the Obsidian inkBook, this one has some quite important updates such as a higher resolution, physical buttons to change pages and a lower price to reach half, about 99 pounds sterling.

The inkBook 89, however, also has its things with a larger screen and offers audio support through its 3,5mm audiojack. It is currently priced at € 179 on Amazon.

It must also be said that the inkBook 8 and the Icarus Illumina XL they are the same device created by the same company. The only thing that differentiates them is the brand apart from some changes in the software so that it is not all the same.

    For one that comes out with a size that is out of the typical 6 ″, above with an affordable price, it has a low resolution.
    How difficult is it to make a balanced mid-size ereader? Why in 6 ″ there are thousands of variants but outside of that there are only two 6.8 ″ models, two of 8 ″, another two of 12 ″ and stop counting?
