Know before you buy
The larger 7-inch screen provides more surface area for text, allowing you to fit more words on a page and reduce the frequency of page turns. Combined with the glare-free E Ink technology, it mimics the look of paper to minimize eye strain during long reading sessions.
Yes, the device features a waterproof design, meaning it is protected against accidental immersion in water. You can read comfortably by the pool or in the bathtub without worrying about splashes or spills.
The battery is rated to last up to 12 weeks on a single charge. This estimate is based on a half-hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at a moderate level.
Yes, the adjustable warm light allows you to shift the screen tone from a cool white to a warmer amber hue. This is particularly helpful for reducing blue light exposure before bedtime, making it easier on your eyes in dark environments.
