Compact and handy
The PocketBook 6-inch e-reader is very popular among buyers. It lacks support for voice reading and Wi-Fi, has the usual push-button control, but does an excellent job with its main function.

Safety backlit screen

The advantage of the model is the uniform illumination of the screen. It allows you to read at any level of lighting, does not tyre your eyes even when the room is completely dark. The backlight can be turned off, for example, in order to save energy: the reader works autonomously with it for up to 2 weeks, and without it for up to a month.
