Rank 5 out of 16Stiftung WarentestReleaseJune 2013

Blätterspezialist. Liefert eine sehr gute Bildqualität. Das Umblättern der Buchseiten ist per Touchscreen und über Tasten möglich. Hintergrundbeleuchtung zum Lesen im Dunkeln. Öffnet Bücher langsamer als andere Geräte, blättert aber recht schnell. Wirkt nicht so hochwertig verarbeitet. Akkulaufzeit: 19 Tage.

Im Test konnte das Gerät von Bookeen in keiner Hinsicht überzeugen. Es hatte im Test zu viele Sicherheitsprobleme und technische Mängel. Zwei LEDs wurden durch eine aufgetretene Entladung zerstört. Ohne diese Mängel wäre das e-Book ein gutes Gerät, das sogar auf Gesten reagiert und in Dunkel gut ablesbar ist.
