In the current technological time, it is increasingly possible to see people reading books on electronic media, rather than on paper. So-called e-books, “readers”, are gaining more and more popularity. There are a lot of companies that produce them, but there are only two types of readers: based on ordinary TFT screens and E-Ink screens. The second ones are more expensive, they are intended for reading only, the first ones perform many functions. Consider the electronic books "Ritmix" - the best option. Divide them by price segment.
RBK-420
This is the simplest and cheapest device. It has a weight of 270 grams and
push-button control. It will appeal to those who can not stand
touch screens. There are a minimum of buttons for control on the device, a two-case cover is included in the kit, which protects this reader quite reliably.
RBK-430
This model is more like a tablet. Of the entire line of devices, it is equipped with the most powerful battery, which, of course, was reflected in the weight - 370 grams. But this is within the normal range. The case is made of hardened plastic, it is stronger than the 420th model. The back is painted, pleasant tactile sensations are created . On the front side there are only three buttons. Like the rest of the Ritmix e-books, it comes complete with a case, which can be folded at an angle and serve as a convenient stand.
RBK-450
The most elegant device from this line. The case is made of glossy, black plastic, characterized by increased soiling.
The device is made in the style of minimalism. In front, except for the screen and one button, there is nothing more. The case is also original, finished inside with suede. It is very comfortable, thin and durable.
RBK-470
Ritmix, the e-book of this model, has the largest, non-standard aspect ratio of the screen - 4: 3, 8 inches. Due to its size, the case made of matte black plastic is not as strong and reliable as the two previous models. But the cover is not so strict, it has a rubberized white surface inside and a white border.
The viewing angles of all Ritmix e-books are good, but under the sun their screens almost fade. And they can, as the manufacturer warns, become worthless. The screen resolution for the 8-inch model is 800 x 600, for the rest it is 800 x 480. The 430 and 450th readers have resistive screens and they are oriented to the stylus, but the latter is already for finger control. Although its sensitivity is far from capacitive smartphones.
Why do many reading enthusiasts purchase Ritmix e-books? The reviews speak for themselves. If your purchase lasts the first 2-3 weeks, then for 1,700-2,500 rubles, depending on the model, you will get a device that can do almost everything. In addition to the main purpose - reading books, you can view various text files, tables, photographs, watch movies, listen to music and radio. Not to mention the recorder, calculator and games. Your device can last a long time.
From user reviews, it is clear that the largest percentage of failures occurs precisely in the first month of operation. If the device is broken, then the likelihood that you will successfully repair it is small. E-books "Ritmix" are assembled in China, completely from their components, so it is often difficult to find the necessary spare parts for repairs. But this is a risk payment when buying a very cheap thing. The cost of reputable devices of well-known companies starts from 10-12 thousand rubles. So it's up to you.
