An e-book is a device designed to read texts presented in digital format. Gadgets use "electronic ink". This is the name of a monitor imaging technology developed by E-Ink Corporation. It works on reflected light, not self-radiated. Thanks to this approach, the font is clearly visible even in very bright light. However, reading in the dark is no longer possible. Unless you buy a "reader" with built-in backlight.
The e-books presented on Aliexpress are devoid of flicker, they are more comfortable for the eyes than the screens of tablets or smartphones. Their monitors are predominantly monochrome, so it is important to choose models with maximum grayscale. To date, E-Ink technology allows you to display 16 shades. The screen size of the gadgets included in the review is 4-13 inches. All of them are distinguished by better autonomy, they can work for weeks without recharging.
Just keep in mind that Aliexpress sells not only new devices, but also restored e-books. This mainly applies to products of world brands. Devices from little-known Chinese manufacturers come in factory packaging. For the rating, we chose e-books with different types of screens and control interfaces. Each model represents the best value for money.

A miniature e-book with good characteristics for such a price. The screen is non-touch, the control is carried out using the keys on the case. This gadget has five of them. Assembly and materials - no remarks. With the functionality, too, everything is fine - the reader is responsive, reads all popular text file formats. Classic design. There is no backlight, so you can only read in good light. You can, of course, adjust the brightness of the screen, but for reading in the dark it will not help. Product reviews on Aliexpress are contradictory. The fact is that the seller sometimes sends a defect, which is why the evaluation of the e-book suffers.

Classic budget e-reader with a seven-inch screen. Outwardly, it resembles a Prestigio gadget with a TFT display. The functionality of these two books is similar, but the build level of the Chinese counterpart is lower. It is sold on Aliexpress in two versions - with built-in memory of 8 or 16 GB. There are no logos on the case. This model is more suitable for schoolchildren and people inexperienced with branded e-readers. She can open text, audio and video files. At the same time, the performance is not too lame, which cannot be said about autonomy: you have to charge the reader often. The backlight is active here, with not the most flexible settings: even at a minimum, it can turn out to be too bright, and this quickly tires. There is such a drawback with TFT-screens.
- Low price
- Fast response
- multimedia component

The e-book Tolino Shine has a lot in common with other models from Aliexpress. E-Ink Perl HD screen, Android OS, front lighting are the main advantages of the reader.

Plus, our craftsmen learned how to install third-party applications on the "reader", which significantly expanded its functionality.The set of supported formats is standard. Files in Russian are read without additional settings. But there is no Russian language in the menu, but if desired, the device can be Russified. The touch screen is quite responsive, using infrared screen technology. There is Wi-Fi support. In terms of the quality of hardware and price, this is one of the best models on Aliexpress.

It syncs with your smartphone, connects to the Baidu cloud, and supports multiple book formats. But FB2, popular in Russia, is not here - the issue is resolved by installing applications.

The upgrade of the 2016 state employee popular on Aliexpress from Kindle turned out to be successful. The updated version received an improved screen backlight. The manufacturer uses 4 LED elements, which allows you to read without straining your eyes even in the dark. Otherwise, there are practically no changes.

There is not much built-in memory, but it will be enough for several thousand books. There are, of course, downsides. This is the only Kindle without any moisture protection. And the browser is so inconvenient to use that few people use it. And you will have to register on Amazon, otherwise the functionality will be cut.
