Build quality
A lot has changed
After the first PocketBooku Lux Touch my memory was a lot of good memories. Contact with the next incarnation of the reader quickly reminded of them; This equipment is still good, and maybe even better executed. Comfortable, light and pleasant to use. At the same time, this did not prevent developers to build komputerka quite robust – in so far as "solid" can be called plastic.

in obtaining proper ergonomics helped special rubber material, which was covered back panel 626 Lux Touch 2. With this simple solution reader does not slip out of your hand on the tram or bus. The same procedure was used previously; generally speaking, both visually generation do not differ from each other in particular. Manufacturer left the same screen diagonal, like physical buttons with a distinctive texture, sufficient width frame, and the lower panel micro USB connector, microSD card slot and power button. Ran out of the headphone jack on the other hand we received in last year's version.Still no way to complain about the quality. Tight mergers, the lack of any skrzypnięć or experience poor fit a decisive advantages of our PocketBook. The device has been properly profiled so as not to occupy a lot of space or in a jacket pocket or in a bag, if we want to take advantage of any such distributions.

Screen
6 inches and a good resolution
6-inch touch screen with 626 PocketBook Touch Lux 2 has been made in the technology of E-Ink Pearl. This name is intended to mean a combination of good contrast, excellent viewing angles and excellent energy economy. In the previous generation complain a bit too visible puncture the previous pages, which remained on display until completely refreshed content. The latter can, and here, and in the predecessor to reduce – reload frequency depends entirely on individual preferences.

In 626 Lux Touch 2 even the default setting (refresh every 5 pages) seems to be entirely satisfactory. I have not experienced here so visible font, as in the case of the model 623, which definitely can save on the plus side. It's not a level known to the Kindle, which uses a different technology (E-Ink Cart), but I am not able to touch Luks complain. The second thing that you need something to write, it's backlight. PocketBook differs from the Kindle that you can turn off the backlight to give the equipment completely classic. Amazon proposal will always shine – even slightly, but it will. We tested the product in that department so wins already in your tracks, offering, inevitably, will last longer on a single charge.

When it comes to touch screen, Touch 626 Lux 2 also has a more efficient mechanism than the original. At the moment it is difficult for me to judge whether this is due to a more efficient processor (about this in a moment), or has modified the digitizer. Responsiveness is still far from the tablet, but the reader can no longer be called fully functional. Touch Lux 2 and the panel can be compared to a car with a basic drive unit, whose main mission is to get from point A to B – maybe there will come slowly but definitely stable. Even the system keyboard (including when entering the current Wi-Fi passwords) works much better than the older model.

For some purposes, such as paging, much more prefer physical buttons. If, however, I have to focus on changing the settings, or searching the library – a well-functioning touch screen works surprisingly well in the 626. In this case, a revolution has occurred in relation to the model 623 Lux Touch, which often had the impression that only the addition of the digitizer is introduced for marketing purposes. On another – describing tablets often move the issue of readability in sunlight. Probably know that the proper functioning of the tablet needs both excellent anti-reflective layer and sufficiently strong backlighting. The readers do not encounter such problems; This equipment, which on-screen content is clearly visible whatever the conditions. Moreover, in the case of a device with additional illumination, we can also enjoy the subsequent chapters of your favorite novels in total darkness.
Reading
PocketBook motivates again
I will not write about love paper books or reader will recommend obvious resulting from the compact size. The transition to electronic text in the majority of cases will take place smoothly and did not even notice that physically turned over the pages.

The reader is ready for operation after approx. 4 seconds after pressing the power switch; Time was therefore reduced by half compared to the previous generation. What's more,the Touch Lux 2 recently received a new version of the software – so we can not just use the more smooth functioning, but also optimized, minimalist interface. Aesthetes a certain will be satisfied. Time to open the same document depends on its weight – and there is no way out, because PDFs overloaded your image files occupy. However, in the case of classic books, PocketBook meets all relevant requirements. Reader supports over 20 different file formats such as EPUB, TXT, MOBI, RTF, DOC, DOCX or. I still do not uświadczymy for support for ODT, which is open OpenOffice extension. What's interesting – just like in the previous incarnation, just change the end of the file to ePUB and Lux Touch 2 fail to decrypt the content.

The cool thing is built ABBY Lingvo dictionaries (and Webster 1913, and others), which supports, among others, Polish, English, German and Russian. In this way we are able to translate some text without leaving the current chapter. We can also quickly make a note or comment to the sentence, rotate the text to a horizontal position, or change its settings, such as font, spacing between consecutive lines of whether to fill the screen. We turn over the page in three ways. The first of these are physical buttons, which in my opinion are still the most comfortable. The second option is to perform a gesture offset (as in smartphones), the third – touching the screen to the right or left.
Integration with Dropbox
PocketBook Dropbox is designed to synchronize the reader with a computer and other devices, so we can quickly and easily add more books to the Touch Luks without the need for cables. This works brilliantly.
Send-to-PocketBook
You send a book to a special e-mail address, and these are automatically saved in the folder Send-to-PocketBook, which you can find on your device. Can, therefore, again free from the annoying cables – the process is as efficient as the above-described use of Dropboxsa.
Battery
Greater capacity
PocketBook 626 Lux Touch 2 / fot. TabletManiaK.pl
New PocketBook has a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1500 mAh, which – on average – just to read about 45 books. This, of course, approximate value, depends on the intensity of the backlight, Wi-Fi activity or refresh rate. Within a week of continuous use of the equipment I used approx. 8 percent of stored energy; wireless communications had switched on the practice in general. So sensational result is related to the simple fact – the same text display does not discharge the battery. Only steps listed above are from the last relationship.
Additional applications
They are – but whether they can be considered useful?
[Nggallery id = 900 template = techmaniak] While the new version of the software, dictionaries and annotation tools can be considered as practical pieces of equipment, so there were a few items that – in my opinion – work only in the imagination.
Web Browser
It works quite smoothly, but it still persists tabletom, phones or computers. This solution is completely redundant, which in practice does not make much sense. Content refresh rate is too low.
RSS
Another application that is rather redundant. Yes, reading articles on PocketBooku makes sense, but only if it is of a long – and we all know that the news in the RSS-ah sometimes published only until the end of the introductory portion.
Games
Chess, Solitaire, Sudoku and Scribble. Nothing special, but it was better than paging through the following pages 50 Grey's face.
Summary and evaluation
First of all, higher
Compared to its predecessor, PocketBook Touch Lux 2 is significantly faster. That's what bothered me the previous generation, has been corrected here. Introduced powerful processor, through which not only the parties are turned over smoothly, but the device itself operates much more efficiently.

retained good ergonomics, using a slightly rubberized buttons, the same back panel, the right size and shape. Even managed to increase by 50 percent. Battery capacity with only minimal increase in weight. Do not forget also that the PocketBook Touch Lux 2 is one of the few readers on the Polish market that can boast full support of the manufacturer – and this is a definite plus.
