Advantages:
Great appearance without pretentious Chinese. Lack of mechanical buttons. Quality materials and workmanship. Very nimble.
Disadvantages:
Doesn't read FB2, but it's a mere trifle (there are a lot of converters). There is no screen backlight, but this is solved with a small light bulb purchased for 300r. on aliexpress.
Comment:
An excellent, convenient and very fast reader - after all, everything is learned in comparison, recently I went to the store, looked at other books (more expensive), so they are terribly slow in comparison with the Kindle. Holds for a couple of weeks exactly, when reading 5 hours a day (turn off wi-fi !!!). The touch control is very convenient and understandable, I got used to it instantly, but if a fly lands on the screen, then the Kindle also reacts (highlights a word or turns a page). ))) Slightly peculiar display of reading progress. No page display, only book space or percentages. In principle, the percentages are fine with me. In general, everything suits me completely. I think I did the right thing, that I did not buy the reader more expensive and more sophisticated. What I wish everyone! I recommend buying a case with magnetic screen activation - very convenient (see photo). I bought an Amazon Kindle 8 Black Special Offer (with advertising), but I contacted Amazon technical support and the good Americans turned off advertising for me.

Advantages:
Lightweight, comfortable, bug-free, holds a charge for a long time, does not tire the eyes, many other conveniences, you cannot list everything at once, you need to turn it on and try, it is very convenient to read. I used the 4th model for a long time (about 6 years), until the battery died, I hope this one will last no less)))
Disadvantages:
no

Advantages:
When I wanted to buy myself a new Kindle (before that it was the 4th), I did not want to take touch, because buttons are more reliable + judging by the tablet, phone, movements do not always work as you need. But the push-button Kindles are gone, so I took this one for myself. I didn’t regret it. In fact, when turning pages, you do not need to swipe, but just press slightly on the edge of the screen. Sooo convenient.
Disadvantages:
I thought that the moment with viewing notes in books on touch would be more convenient. But in fact, you click on a number, go to view the note on a separate page, and then you need to go back to the text - and for this you need to click on the screen and press the arrow button from above. Maybe I haven't figured it out completely and it can be done somehow easier, but so far it felt more convenient on the 4th Kindle, tk. the back button was in the immediate vicinity))

Advantages:
I have been using it for about a month and decided to share my impressions. Of the merits. Convenient to hold in hand, excellent screen, battery holds more than 2 weeks, responsive sensor, pages are scrolled instantly even pdf, everything is scaled without brakes, you can send books directly from your smartphone if you have Internet in it, the interface is simple, it is quite convenient to use it, for example , you can turn the pages back and forth while holding the book with one hand. I thought the lack of mechanical buttons would be a problem, but no, I don't even think about them. Free dictionary Abby Lingvo.
Disadvantages:
The page numbering is 4-6-digit, it is decided by bookmarks, but I am more used to memorizing the page. There is no support for fb2, but there are no difficulties with translation in mobi, it is done on a computer in a minute, and the phone itself translates everything with the Ebooker program, it can also reformat pages of sites into text and send them.
Comment:
An excellent reader without dancing with a tambourine and any unnecessary unnecessary, and most importantly smart. Before that there was a Nook, a good workhorse, but slow-witted and a mediocre screen. and ONYX Magellan II is a good reader, a lot of everything, but I had to fiddle with Googleplay, the battery is weak, and flimsy to the touch, and Amazon works faster. Unfortunately, ONYX's backlit screen crashed through my fault, and its replacement is almost equal to the price of a new reader, plus the hassle of sending it to Moscow. In Amazon, I just don't get enough backlighting, but I purposefully saved money and bought a model without it, otherwise everything is fine.

Advantages:
Price! Workmanship Ease of use WiFi
Disadvantages:
Custom data format (solved by using a converter)
Comment:
Definitely buy! Pocketbook is clearly overvalued, Chinese crafts are just thrown away money. There is also a very intelligible menu, you can customize not only the font, but also the line spacing. Built-in WiFi allows you to access the e-book store (prices are quite reasonable there).

Advantages:
Great design and body. Excellent sensor. Good display Service send that kindel. Nice price.
Disadvantages:
The power button is a little unpleasant, since it is at the bottom, and thanks to its ergonomics, it is excellent to hold it in one hand, and sometimes you touch the power button.
Comment:
Just a great reader! Not a single time I have not bugged, and did not even think, it works very stably. The sensor is wonderful, responsive! Very intuitive menu and easy to use. A good display, but not the highest ppi, but at the distance of half-bent arms you don't even pay attention to the pixels. And after update 5.11, the fonts in general are great! Doesn't read fb2, it's just nonsense, the send that kindel service converts any format itself, including fb2. Well, it's not convenient ?! you say? How can it be inconvenient if it converts both pdf and all formats by itself, opened the window, shoved everything that reads and no, and pressed one button, everything flew to the reader via wi fi and everything is readable. So the lack of support for the fb2 format in the instructions does not complicate life at all. Pdf generally converts perfectly, although it supports out of the box, but through the send that Kandel converts very well and it's easy to read. Lack of backlight is not a minus, how can it be a minus? If it is written that she is not! The availability of covers for the Chinese is cheap. And they are not inferior in quality to the original.Generally a great reader! If you are thinking of buying a Chinese or an Amazon, then the choice is obvious in the direction of the kindel. One thing, take a book with a backlit from your comrades and try to read. This point is worth paying attention
