Kindle Ereader
Basic 6-inch Kindle e-reader with e-ink display that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light and uses a backlight, so you can read with equal comfort in bright sunlight and in the dark. Unlike tablet screens, the Kindle is glare-free. The low cost is achieved through ads displayed on the lock screen. A single battery charge lasts weeks. 8 GB of memory is enough to store thousands of books. You can listen to audiobooks via Bluetooth.

PocketBook InkPad
8-inch premium E Ink e-reader with LED frontlight and adjustable colour temperature for comfortable reading day and night long. It has elegant design, compact and impressive ergonomics. The big screen allows to see more information at a single page - you can easily make the font larger and turn pages frequently, so this device is suited for reading professional literature, periodicals, work with graphs and tables including PDF and Djvu. Students will also appreciate e-reader of such a format, because the 8-inch screen is the closest to the standard size of most textbooks. It also features built-in speaker and Bluetooth for audiobook listening (and Text-to-Speech can read aloud any text file). The case provides reliable IPX8 protection against harmful effects of water.

Pocketbook has introduced the new InkPad One e-note reader with a 10.3-inch Mobius display, a more durable version of E Ink displays (it lacks a glass base).
