PocketBook has released a new 5-inch reader with "electronic ink"
PocketBook on June 26 announced a new reader with an E-Ink screen - PocketBook 515. In general, the model turned out to be pretty, although the charisma that the previous devices of this brand with 5-inch screens (PocketBook 360, 360 Plus and 360 Plus New) had in my opinion , the novelty is still not enough.
In fact, PocketBook 515 looks like a smaller version of PocketBook Basic or Basic New. Reduced - and slightly simplified. Judging by the characteristics on the official site, the model does not have a microSD card slot - although the internal memory is 4 GB here, but the reader cannot play music anyway, so this developer’s flaw can be forgiven. There is no Wi-Fi module either, although it was not in Basic New.

Iron is powerful: a gigahertz processor and 256 MB of RAM. This is a lot by the standards of the reader: usually it is 128 MB (in the same PocketBook Touch 2 it is lit up with just that). The battery lasts for 8 thousand flipping, that is, you will have to charge about once a month.
With the screen the situation is strange. Here the E-Ink display is installed, but the one — Pearl or the old Vizplex — is not specified. There is no information about the resolution of the display. Most likely, it is equal to 600 x 800 points.
The list of formats is traditionally long: PDF, PDF (DRM), EPUB, EPUB (DRM), DJVU, FB2, FB2.ZIP, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PRC, TCR, TXT, CHM, HTM and HTML. This is what concerns the books. But there is also a graphic file viewer (4 formats are supported), several games, a calendar, a calculator, a clock and a dictionary.
The thickness of the PocketBook 515 is 7.2 mm, the weight is 131 g. That is, the model is really thin and light, which means that you can try to carry it in your pocket. In the ladies' clutch, she also does not take much space.
Sales will begin in June, the price - 2 990 rubles. In principle, not very expensive, but by the standards of PocketBook is cheap at all. Three color options will be offered: white and black, black and dark blue (in the PocketBook it is called the “sea wave”). Personally, I liked the last one the most, and you?
PS With sadness and longing I look at the dusty Sony PRS-300. After the appearance of a tablet in the house, there was never a desire to return to reading on E Ink.
