I got my Afterglow 2, and overall I'm pleased with it. But I'd only recommend it for you if you're a person that is willing to carry a little bit of the standard baggage for an early adopter (patience and a willingness to fiddle a bit). It has changed my reading experience and given me a device that is distraction free for devotion and study in the sun and in the dark. This is not a problem when highlighting or reading. Touch screen is not as accurate with finger presses as it could be so typing is difficult and sometimes you can miss the menu item in the apps.This can be a pro as I've used Smart Locker to lock the internet / news reader so I have a distraction free environment. This can limit what apps you can install or how many. All the current eInk readers have limited app storage space.This becomes a problem if ever the app becomes incompatible with the reader. The official Faithlife stance is that eInk Android readers are not supported.I also have the Kindle app working for those books I've not yet got on Logos.Android 4.2 (better app compatibility) and Google Play app store installed (enabling lots of other uses).Great battery life (less than a week with wifi on, but still very good).Making notes is not as functional, but still very usable. The page turns and highlighting are very good. All Faithlife apps are currently working and books downloading (I did need to shift the app to the SD card).Sunlight reading is fantastic and late night reading via a front-lit screen is good for me (and my wife who is generally trying to sleep).I find the screen size to be well suited. Easy on the eyes with a nice sharp display that is as easy as paper.The Android apps work well on it for the purpose of reading and highlighting. It is so much easier on the eye than my tablet or phone with its e-Ink screen (it reads like paper) and is an excellent platform for distraction free reading. This e-Ink eReader is definitely the best purchase I've made all year. We will have to wait a few more days to see it in Spain, but in some countries such as the Netherlands, the sale is already taking place.I just purchased an Onyx Boox Afterglow 2 The purpose is to run Logos, Vyrso and Faithlife Study Bible on it. InkBook 8 appears to be a great option for those looking for an eReader with an 8-inch screen, since unlike the Icarus Illumina XL, InkBook 8 is cheaper offering the same, although at the moment Amazon is not one of the stores that offer it in their catalog. Although possibly the Play Store can be added manually, which would make for a great eReader for those just looking to read on a big screen. InkBook 8 will have Android 4.2 as an operating system, although in this case we will not have access to the Play Store but rather a store created by Arta Tech, the manufacturer of the device. InkBook 8 will not have access to the Play Store In addition to having Wifi and audio output, the eReader has a 2.800 mAh battery, a battery that will give a great autonomy to the device, autonomy that will exceed two months of duration if we have a modest use of the eReader. The InkBook 8 also has a 1,2 Ghz dual core processor, 512 mb of ram and 8 gb of internal storage that can be expanded thanks to its microsd card slot. Today, months later we can know that this new eReader is available in European stores and that we can buy it for 163 dollars, a little more than 150 euros.Įl Inkbook 8 in question is an eReader with an 8 ″ screen with a resolution of 1.024 x 768 pixels, with Letter technology, lighting and touch screen. Last January, the company Arta Tech officially presented its new eReader with an 8-inch screen.
