MiniFAQ
What can prevent to choose Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 3
Approximately in order of mention in the topic with a few comments without assessing the significance
Higher price(not relevant)- Unwillingness to learn about the process of converting book formats
For example, the common formats .fb2 or .epub will have to be converted into others, which the reader supports (or download directly into them) - not less common .mobi or .pdf, etc.Brief instructionfor familiarization,discussion of programs. Changing the settings of books in third-party applications may also be needed to adjust the parameters that can not be configured on the reader itself (for example, the width of the fields) - The desire for undocumented features and the unwillingness to understand the intricacies of the jailbreak
Simplifying, jb - bypass OS restrictions on access to system files, launch of third-party applications, etc.Jb general information. Actual information about the possibility of jb software on different firmware versions - in the topic headerAmazon KPW - firmware and third-party programs). The list of available third-party applications is relatively small. - The inability of the standard means to completely turn off the backlight
with minimal ambient light, the light on the “zero” is invisible, but it is visible in the dark (in the discussion thread, it seemsthere is a solution) - No memory card slot, less internal memory
The internal storage capacity of the KPW2015 is 4GB, against 8GB in OBD4. For scale, "War and Peace" takes 1.5-2.5 MB - Difficulties with official service if you are from the Russian Federation (and, probably, the EAEU as a whole)
When buying at Amazon and delivering to Russia there are a lot of nuances with circumvention of bilateral restrictions, sending to the manufacturer under warranty also with its own difficulties. When buying at a local store, the seller’s warranty is fully valid. - The conviction of the need for physical buttons paging
- An established habit of reading in a single Android application
And also to have on hand a collected collection of books, for example, in fb2 format, divided into folders - Less than "fast" text display settings
Separate parameters of fine-tuning are set only through the parameters of a font or a book file, edited on a computer, or "hacks" (for example,field reduction)
What can prevent to choose Onyx Boox Darwin 4
Approximately in order of mention in the topic with a few comments without assessing the significance
- Shorter battery life
Reported: at OBD4 - "30 days", or 25 hours (with occasional use of the backlight, without the use of Wi-Fi and provided equipment off in the intervals between sessions of reading, the data of the original manufacturer - "about 2 weeks without light" and no wifi - with the device off after the reading); against "to 6 weeks", or 21 hours at KPW2015 (without wifi, but backlit with 10 bar of 24). Real OBD performance by all accounts, a relatively worse (from the experience of the use of models of past generations) - Higher price
A simple comparison of store offers, excluding the package bundle, which in Darwin 4 includes an additional cover and c / c - The established view that the Kindles have the best screens
Based on the manufacturer's reputation, 15: 1 contrast data versus 14: 1, the lack of more detailed data on the Darwin screen, personal impressions of the shade of the substrate, etc. - Unpreparedness to get acquainted with the specifics of Android and applications
Subjectively less "smart". You may encounter features and software bugs. Discussion of errors of all Onyx Boox devices onofficial forumcan help create an impression of the scale, frequency and speed of removal by the manufacturer. - Difficulties with service.
Official information. Warranty service: in the Russian Federation - MakTsentr in Moscow, on the territory of the Republic of Belarus authorized by the MobiLAB SC Service Center, in the territory of Ukraine actually organizes a BigBit shop (discussion on another forum).

Reading
Display text formats
KPW2015 : the main reader program is Kindle. The initial impression can be made on Amazon Kindle for Android. Some of the "proprietary chips" work only in books purchased from Amazon and containing appropriate formatting (X-Ray navigation, English Word Wise word hints)
Obd2 : The main default reader programs are OReader (slightly reduced by the author’s version of AlReader for Android) and Onyx Neo Reader 2; for individual formats - FBReader (mod). Potentially, the android reader can have a larger range of settings, although they may also have problems with displaying, for example, texts with writing directions from right to left or in Church Slavonic (according to reviews, solutions have been found).
Display scans
In both cases, scanned books are not very convenient to read because of the small diagonal of the screen. You can make an impression by video reviews or, for example, an OBD photo:Onyx Boox C67ML Darwin / Magellan 3. Scrolling "dragging" slows down. On separate pdf with a layer of recognized text can save the function of reformatting reflow. Algorithms are different and deserve a more detailed comparison ...

Comrades, I rush between pw2015 and onyx darwin1 / 2 already broke my head ..
onyx reads all the formats out of the box, pw works faster and seems to be more pleasant to read from it ..
Kick me and help me choose ... I used gmini m6hd before

dash between paperwhite 2015 and onyx darwin
When I chose, the price on Kindle was very high. If it were not for the money issue, I’d take paperwhite 2015,
so far the best screens they have. Of course, we would have to adapt to their “wonderful” conversion system, but
as they say: "up to 40 years is hard, and then you get used to it." When I took Onyx, I felt the same about Android - but, again
same - "the devil is not so terrible ...".
Yes, after Nook_a, autonomy is less, but compared to the same smartphone / tablet -
very, very.
If there is an opportunity - lay both close, no - poke your finger at random, the choice is such a thing, always then you regret that
did not take the "one" option :)
nanervax89, if you are ready to accept the conversion of everything and everything, are ready not to pin hopes on a jailbreak that comes down from heaven and gives you access to CoolReader / KOReader, completely turns off the backlight, etc. etc.), take KPW. Otherwise, take Onyx.
paperweight is cheaper than onyx. I recently was puzzled by the choice of Darwin or Kindle voyage, I almost ordered Darwin, but I read more reviews and above all I was upset by low autonomy, and I don’t need an Android for the reader. He took the voyage, gritting his teeth on prices, happy as an elephant. second generation paperweight gave to his wife

pw works faster and seems to be more pleasant to read from it.
What is this? :-)

paperwhite 2015 and onyx darwin1 / 2
I had the option to take darwin 1 per day for 11000 or order paperwhite 2014 for 9000 (+ cover cost). I bought Darwin and was pleased with everything except the time of work, I thought there would be more. If it were not for the delivery, during which anything can happen to the device, and difficulties with the return under warranty would be kindle. ;)

In order not to break your head, take Kindle Paperwhite 2015.

What is this?
Through the eyes, of course;)
I wanted the Kindle initially, because There was an experience of short use before. He took onyx due to the fact that he was used to the features of android readers:
In fact, on Kindle, you can probably achieve the same thing by convection. But on onyx, no, no, some unexpected bug will pop up when using "exotic" features:
In the end, maybe sedition ... but it seems to me that the options are roughly equivalent, if we leave aside the question of price and weight of the brand.

- opds directories
- synchronization of the library / reading place with other devices (phone),
- I read on the reader long articles sent from other devices to Pocket
- support out of the box or easily find on the market an application for any format (fb2 / djvu)
- Separately, I highlight the important support for pdf books in Adobe Digital Editions (DRM)
In fact, on Kindle, you can probably achieve the same thing by convection. But on onyx, no, no, some unexpected bug will pop up when using "exotic" features:
- opds IMHO is better in fbreader, and you need root to install it (easy, but time after each new firmware
- There was an error with paging in the poke - the authors of the application fixed, after they wrote them
- pdf and djvu can be read quite arbitrarily - after all, the screen is small - scans of a / b books a5 are normal, magazines / books a4 - you have to select the optimal scale
- in the implementation of DRM there are a couple of bugs that are easily bypassed, but after the first reset of all settings when confronted with such a bug =)
- Well, in onyx, a full-time library does not hold water ... = (therefore, it was impossible to open the catalog to bb
In the end, maybe sedition ... but it seems to me that the options are roughly equivalent, if we leave aside the question of price and weight of the brand.

Why w: rolleyes:, reads books. Converter set up once for yourself (freeLib) and read to yourself.
Yes, and without a converter everything is fine there.
In the Kindle, the native reader is enough for the eyes and for the ears, sometimes the covers are not displayed, but often this is the problem of the source code

The same golovnyak ... But still decided to stay on Darwin 2 or Cleopatra 2 (compare in the store). Until now, I have been using Hamlet, but already in the liver sits its stupid interface and the lack of illumination. Pamper yourself beloved for the New Year with a new reader.
