"Cleopatra" is sold in a large box of thick cardboard with the image of the queen. At the ends there is an ornament, on the reverse side are technical characteristics and a brief description of the merits.
The box opens in a peculiar way: the lid pulls up the inside, so the book lies on a small dais.
Inside is a USB cable, charger, warranty card and quick start guide. The length of the cord is enough to connect the reader to the system unit and put it on the table, and not to start dancing with a tambourine in search of a convenient place.
Included is an excellent case with a magnetic clasp that does not collect prints, and if you still get it dirty, then there is enough wet cloth for cleaning.
The edges of the face are rubberized, over time they will not begin to crumble.
The book sits tightly into it, does not walk, and when it is closed after a couple of tens of seconds, it goes into sleep mode.
The magnetic clasp is reliable, but it is convenient to open it by pulling the upper right corner of the cover.
If the choice is between Cleopatra and another e-book with a similar price and features, then think about the case: to buy this one separately is to spend another 1000 rubles. Without it, the book is noticeably lighter, but if Cleopatra falls, it’s very scary behind the screen.

Without a cover, it is better not to take Cleopatra in your hands - you get tired of cleaning. The corporate style of the "Egyptian" series is observed, the book is different from the competitors. It is collected on conscience, does not play and does not creak at strong intentional compression.
On the right side, there is a two-position key “back and forth”.

At the bottom - the on / off button, a slot for memory cards, USB-connector and closed hole for 3.5 mm headphone jack. If you want music or listen to an audiobook, then you can not do without Bluetooth-headphones.
Kruglyash on the front side is five-position: it and the “OK” button, and navigation, and the backlight control. All buttons are pressed gently with a little click.
Weight without case - 263 grams. Compared to the 6-inch rivals from Sony, Pocketbook and Amazon, the Cleopatra is heavier by 50-90 grams, but the enlarged screen size covers the "disadvantage".
Compared with the standard volume of Bradbury "Cleopatra" - baby.
On the back side there are: the address of the website of the company “MakTsentr” - the official supplier of Onyx readers in Russia, the full name of the model, the capacity of the battery, as well as the traditional logo of the manufacturer.
Touch with a diagonal of 6.8 inches, a resolution of 1080 x 1440, a contrast of 12: 1 and a proprietary backlight Moonlight. In bright sunshine, the screen does not glare, the information is excellent, and "moonlight" is a godsend for owl book readers who like to read when others are sleeping.
No need to go to the kitchen or in the next room, turn on the night light. The backlight can be activated in two ways: by the same icon in the lower status bar and by pressing the central key. The brightness level is also regulated either by the central button or via the touch screen.
The sensor in Cleopatra is of medium sensitivity, other quick and light touches can be missed. The rest is good: quickly responds to confident pressing and turns the page, does not distort the text at an angle, readable in bright sun.
