in this way, benefits to each, disadvantages. i say one, want to read in the same way as paper books e-books that is more human type of electronic paper that’s easy to read. there is only to be called e-paper, seem as if they are printed on paper and flop view.

expressive power electronic paper is poor compared to the liquid crystal but, such as image display and video playback is not suitable. for this reason, not only read the e-book, tsukaikonashi you want in a variety of ways for those who are type i recommend a liquid crystal.


screen size and hold a sense of the relationship between trade-off

if you enjoy the e-book, what is important in the display size and resolution i. the small size and, will have to scroll or zoom in to read the lot.. the way down so expressive power with lower resolution, also want to note there.

it is easy to recommend to anyone5from in.7s about the size of a inch. for women7inch size might be too large, can have enough with one hand would be up to this much. 10it becomes inch size with one hand because it is difficult, would have been absolutely limited to the style with both hands.

even at high resolution, become unreadable screen size is too small. if you want to enjoy on a daily basis for its e-book, 5inches or more would be to choose the required.
