The Icarus Illumina is a new eReader with Android and Google Play

Icarus Illumina

Having a eReader that has the Google Play Store And Android is an advantage for certain very interesting aspects such as being able to install all the apps that one wants. Something that prevents us from the most concise Amazon store when we are with a Kindle. That is why many are tempted by eReaders who play both sides almost at the same time.

The Icarus Illumina E654BK is an eReader that has Android and Google Play as its main points of sale and with which it hopes to attract the attention of all those users who hope to have their gift this Christmas. This device was announced a month ago and is now available for purchase on Amazon for $ 119.

Another of its characteristics is its solid thanks to its large bezel that surrounds the screen on all sides. The Icarus Illumina E654BK is characterized by its 6-inch E-ink touch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 and its front light that will allow a pleasant reading to those users who dispense with the light from their table or in some other similar circumstance. .

In the bowels you can find a dual-core chip clocked at 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory, and the ability to increase storage via a microSD card.

One of its handicaps is that it has the Android version 4.2.2, when we are already by 7.1 currently. Of course, it is an advantage to be able to download all the apps you want from Google Play, although it would have been better if it had at least been launched with Android 5.0 Lollipop, since the support may end soon.

It costs U.S. dollar 119 on Amazon and can be a good buy if you are looking for more than just reading on an e-ink display device.
