Bebook eBook Reader
The Bebook eBook reader is a slim, sleek device with multiple language support and 3G connection. It can play music, store more than 1000 books, show images and connect to internet thorough RSS feeds. It is a pleasure to use such a uniquely designed hi-tech device.
BeBook Design and Features
The design of BeeBook Ereader is very unique. The set weighs up to 220 grams. It has a traditional 6 inch screen. Below the screen we have ten control buttons each having a specific purpose. We also have a circular control pad on the right end. We have zoom buttons on the left side of the screen and volume controls on the left side. The SD card slot and the USB jack are found as usual at the bottom.
Since there is no touchscreen facility the buttons are used to control all the activities. The size of the fonts could be adjusted as we read the documents and even the font type could be changed. Info on the eBook could be viewed, bookmarked and saved. Files could be sorted using different dates, sizes and types. All these activities coul be done easily through these buttons.
BeBook uses 3.7V Li-ION battery with 950mAhv. This battery lasts for 7000 page flips. It does not consume power if the pages or not flipped and other activities like hearing music and browsing through RSS feeds aslo consume very less power. So the battery life like most of the other Ereaders is amazing.
Screen
The 6-inch screen is large and monochrome. It does not have backlight facility. So it is a bit hard to read the contents at night. But it works perfectly well in all other light conditions including bright sunlight. Text could be viewed in landscape and portrait mode. Scrolling and zooming text is easy as there are dedicated buttons for that.
Storage
Up to 1000 books can be stored easily. 512 MB internal flash memory is present. SD card slots could be used to expand memory further.
BeBook Support
150 books are preloaded in the BeBook when we purchase it. Apart from this we can go to MyBeBook.com and download as many books as we wants from the 20000 listed books there for free. BeBook is trying to use open source platform in the future versions. So it is designed to support nearly any file format.
As of now it supports file formats like PDF, DOC, RTF, EPUB, PPT, TXT and HTML for text. It also supports wide variety of audio and image file formats. This is the only eBook reader to support Mobipocket DRMformatas well as Adobe. This further enhances the title availability for this reader in the eBooks market. Other file formats like TIF, DJVU, FB2, WOL, CHM, RAR and ZIP are also supported.
Image and Music
Image file formats like JPG, PNG and GIF are supported. Images are displayed in their best quality. Audio file formats like MP3 are supported. Music could be loaded directly from you system and purchased through internet and stored. Audio books could be downloaded directly and heard.
Transferring Data
Data transfer is as easy as in other BeBooks. 3G and other access to free library are extra features. Music and eBooks in the system could be easily transferred into the device through an USB cable.
BeBook Performance
The performance could be rated above average with main features like display, access to free eBook library and wide variety of file format support. But when it comes to speed while using RSS, improvement could be made. The control buttons are a useful additions and helps in navigation to a great level.
Image and music quality could be rated average. Image rendering could be improved. Most of the music file formats supported work fine. But the quality could be certainly improved as there seems to be some sort of distortion most of the time.
BeBook Special Features
Since BeBook Ereader uses 3G connections you can use the RSS, link it to your PC and download all the favourite feeds and store it your eBook. It can be viewed anytime and anywhere.
BeBook supports multiple language menu support. Menus and info could be viewed in many different languages like English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Chinese, Russian, Greek, Ukraine, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Bulgarian, Estonian and Polish.
The Verdict
Amazing file format support and multiple language menu support are the unique features of the device. Access to free eBook library is a very attractive addition. Good text managing options like bookmarking and adding notes add to its value further. All other minor faults could be excused easily considering the major benefits.
