Augen 7" eReader

Augen 7,ereader

Positive feedback for Augen 7" eReader

"The WiFi range is rather limited, and I didn’t find it very convenient the way pages are scaled to fit into the display. I couldn’t find any format that would display the pages the way I converted them through MS Word, Augen 7’’ eReader really is the only device that changes the file format before displaying them. This wasn’t even the case with the “wretched“ Jetbook! I can sometimes see an indent, and sometimes I can’t. If there is a blank, for example between two paragraphs, it gets deleted. I also found it terribly disappointing not to be able to see different colors and font sizes because even my old REB 1200 which I’ve had for 10 years displays texts exactly the way I see them on the computer. If the file is in the .doc format, all colors are gone, formatting is changed and lines are omitted. Neither .doc nor epub displays bold or italics. The PDF format is useless (although I didn’t buy Augen The Book for that purpose). Color photos, however, are displayed in a very nice way, and the accelerometer works well too. It’s a bit touchy but not to the extent that it becomes a problem.
On the other hand, Augen The Book works well with all the advertised file types – being able to play .avi files is something really extraordinary!
The case can be fixed with a little Velcro and despite its drawbacks, the device really is very nice.

Although this is ahead of time, I’m already strongly considering the Augen The Book instead of the EBW 1150. I think this eReader offers great value for its price, I definitely don’t regret buying the device and would readily recommend it to a friend. "
