More than an e-book

Thanks to the large 7.8-inch touch screen and standard dimensions for a reader, the press called the PocketBook 740 a “small-big” reader. However, its innovations are not limited to the large screen — the 740th is not just an update of successful PocketBook models, but almost a revolution in the e-book market.

dual core processor

For starters, the PocketBook 740 is a very rare beast with a powerful dual-core processor. Thanks to him, the 740 turns on in 4 seconds, flips pages one and a half times faster, instantly renders web pages and opens heavy PDF files four times faster. Not to say that ordinary readers were too slow, but in comparison with the PocketBook 740 they seem like family Fiats against the backdrop of a racing Ferrari.

Flexible colour temperature adjustment

The next innovation is colour temperature adjustment, like the colour screens of smartphones and tablets. If ordinary readers are limited by backlight brightness settings, PocketBook740 can make the backlight warmer or colder, so that it is most convenient for the eyes to read without additional light sources — chandeliers, lamps, and so on. The tuning scale is long and there are a lot of options — from grey and pale yellow to bright orange and almost red.

Integrated cloud storage

The icing on the cake is the integration of the PocketBook Cloud cloud service — a useful thing for book lovers who read always, everywhere and from different devices. PocketBook Cloud allows you to store the books themselves, data about bookmarks and reading settings in the cloud. Thanks to this, you can start a new book in the evening from the reader, and continue reading from the same place on your smartphone (there is an application for iOS and Android) while driving to work or waiting for a friend in a cafe. You can upload books to the cloud from any source, no one limits it to a built-in store, as in Amazon and Barnes & Noble readers. Free storage is limited to 2 GB.

In general, if you have been dreaming of updating the reader for a long time, but do not want to burden your eyesight with the colour screen of the tablet, then PocketBook740 is definitely your client.
