Hi, hubr. It was so necessary that in modern devices, people still read books to modern devices, regardless of whether the phone is 100 dollars or for 900. In the subway, in a cafe or in any other place it is easy to find that a person is busy reading with his loved one Mobile Device: Someone is too lazy to carry the E-Ink reader, which has no extra money for one more "device for one function": a lot of options, the solution is one. Read with phones or tablets.

Book formats - a car and a small trolley, all with their own characteristics. Users preferences - too. Someone prefers universal "readers", which are checked all the formats with a time, someone keeps 2-3 different to work with a certain type of data. Today I want to tell about the next combine who is designed to seize the world market: PocketBook Reader. As you already, probably, they guessed themselves by name, to its creation involved the same company, which produces e-books. With books they have more or less OK; Let's see what they did for mobile phones?

general information

Actually, Rieder has only two characteristics that are more or less interesting to others: support for certain formats and the possibility of customization. With the first everything is simple, the list is in the description of the application in the store Google Play.Well, in the AppStore too. Applicated support for PDF (including Adobe DRM protection), EPUB (again, with support for Adobe DRM), DJVU, TXT, FB2, FB2.zip, CHM, HTML (BASIC), CBZ, CBR, CBT; As a bonus - OPDS catalogs and the ability to work with ABBYY Lingvo dictionaries. But about customization in stores do not really write a lot, so you have to deal with manually, and about it - just below.

Interface

The program interface (at least on Android) is built with the compliance with the general guideline to which the new universal way Control: Circular menu. It is called tap ~ in the center of the screen, and it looks like this:

In principle, the icons speak for themselves and intuitively understand: font settings, "night" mode, notes, screen repetition, text settings and backlight adjustment. Any item submenu moves you to the appropriate section, designed in exactly the same style. Before any "fast" settings - only two, maximum - three clicks. See for yourself:

The capabilities of this menu differ from the format to the format, but in general the functionality is more or less common and the same for all types of mobile literature. With a circular menu figured out? Let's go back to customization, because it also refers to the interface, as-no, here the whole book is one big interface. Advanced settings are hidden from above-right, under the with three-point buttons. In the drop-down menu, select Advanced Configuration and fall into a long list of settings, separated into several basic groups: "Formatting", "Interface", "Document". If only meta-information and some properties can be edited in the "Document" (for example, to enable the RTL system of drawing), then in other sections you can sit for a long time.

Hidden text

In "formatting", a change in color schemes is available (one of the three finished or fully customs is selected;

Setting the text paragraphs (alignment, separation of paragraphs, indents and intervals); Parameters of the document page (customizable indents: useful feature, if you are irritated by the creation of the text "To the edge" of the screen); The "Other" section contains parameters of fonts, line intervals and dash-defisites when setting up gears.

Hidden text

The second largest settings group is responsible for settings of the screen and animation: Types of redistribution, backlighting, binding settings to specific books and other charms that can be deepened for another hour. Just give a few screenshots:

In business

Settings settings, and the main functional reader is to show documents. I flew running through the forums and reviews, looked at anyone what problems with reading books (check the Banal display of FB2 in the reader, of course, not interesting to anyone). Basically swear on PDFs, Ebup's curves and the complexity of various kinds with DJVU, and in general there are often problems with the opening of large files. Epub at 180 megabytes opened without problems. The huge PDF "Ka Raising The Bar - also opened well, and after setting up the fields, it became also more or less Cooked. Old lectures on Matanaliza in DJVU opened, looked so-so (however, they look everywhere so-like), but everything worked adequately . Everywhere, where the text is the text, and not the picture, the full-text search works.

By default, two online libraries are added to the application and have the opportunity to add your own. Working with them differs little from working with a tree of folders: chose the desired, downloaded, read. You get used to the usability of the circular menu quickly.

Pros, Cons, Underwater Stones

In the reader I liked a lot of things: a good set of supported formats, which will soon be added .Docx, convenient navigation and a well-known interface. There are minor questions about the restriction of ways of turning, but here already, rather, the soldiers: the device reacts to the taps, swipe left / right or up / down, the volume buttons. Leafs in the appropriate side. A small problem is that everything is used by once: it is, of course, so more convenient "for the start" and everyone can flip as it is used to, but sometimes want to disable "extra" gestures. Otherwise - a good product: books open, dictionaries are connected, notes are stored in a more or less convenient form - what else is required?

iOS.

The application has a version for iOS. , it is decorated in the style of the 7th version of the Apple Operations, so that it is not very different from its Android-fellow: healthy minimalism, a circular menu - present, the "other" interface performed on the Gaidlines of the Operations - in stock, and more, actually , nothing is asked. Unfortunately (or fortunately;) I have no iOS-devices at home, so the screenshots will be from the Internet:

Wishlist

In any program there is something to improve, unless, of course, this is not a miracle program with one button "make good", which really does well. Although there, for sure, I will find what to fix. From the wishes for the PocketBook Reader developers "A - make synchronization of libraries and notes (as well as reading points in books) between multiple devices. Yes, it will require a little big effort than adding more fonts and kittens, but actually will solve one important problem, with which people often face a tablet and a smartphone. Yes, and when moving to a new device, it would be nice to get everything in a state "how left." Ah, yes, well, "checkmarks" to disable unnecessary scraping methods.;)

POST Scriptum

I consciously did not compare the reader with other popular readers: to persuade the adherents of a particular choice - the case is ungrateful, and somehow I do not want to translate into the section of the holive. Interested? Try, perhaps, the program will make your smartphone slightly more cozy to read. ;) And I have everything on it.
