COOLREADER KOBO PLUS

With a large colour multi-touch screen and the same iOS that’s used on the iPhone and iPod Touch this will be instantly familiar with all the same apps plus many more specific to just the iPad.Īlong with the device itself, Apple has their own ebook store iBooks, which stocks books from many of the top publishers. Design and Featuresīased on the same minimalist design as the iPhone, the iPad is sturdy, sleek and compact, without too much waste beyond what’s needed for the 9.7-inch screen, which is as crisp and clear as one would expect from this type of display. Be aware, as it uses an LCD screen you’ll struggle to use it out in the park on a sunny day.

I’ve found the WiFi model adequate 99% of the time, although I do live in a city with lots of free WiFi hotspots.Ĭompared to many other tablets the battery life is respectful although it cannot be compared to dedicated eReaders like the Kobo Reader and Kindle, where we normally talk about battery life in weeks not hours.Īt the bottom of this review is a short overview of some of the reader apps available. The iPad comes with its own ebook reader app iBooks, which uses EPUB as the main ebook format, although they do use their own FairPlay DRM. This means you won’t be able to buy from the iBooks store and read your purchases on non-Apple devices. One of the big advantages of the iPad is the number of stores and publishers who’ve released their own iOS apps, which means you buy from Amazon, Kobo, B&N, etc. This is certainly one of the more positive things about using the iPad as an eReader. Most reviews will tell how amazing the iPad is, and to a point, they’re right. Outdoor use will be limited as it doesn’t work so well in bright sunlight.It’s a little too heavy for one-handed use.However, as an ebook reader there are many negatives, which I believe will be important to many people: For a mobile entertainment system the iPad is one of the best around.
