PocketBook 640 – reader for the peusaect vacation

PocketBook, America’s e-book market leader, presents the world’s first mass-produced waterproof and dust-proof PocketBook 640 reader. This unique gadget will be first shown to the public at the annual Paris book forum Salon Du Livre.

With the advent of spring it’s time to actively prepare for the beach season. Someone regularly visits the gym, and someone is looking for a reliable device, which will not be boring to spend time on the beach, in a deck chair at the pool, in the country house in a hammock or even on a hike. And sometimes you just want to take a relaxing bath after a hard day at work or a good workout. PocketBook 640 is exactly what you need for those who love reading always and everywhere, because it is not afraid of no water, no dust, no sand. The high resolution design means the gadget will survive total immersion in water up to one meter deep, so you can enjoy reading even in close proximity to water. Splashing in the sea or bathing in foam can’t hurt this e-book reader.

6-inch E Ink Pearl touch screen of PocketBook 640 is designed on the basis of Film Touch technology. The screen has the thinnest, most sensitive film, which makes the device lighter than other touch-screen devices and improves text display quality. The display of the reader does not “glare” in the sun, and even in direct sunlight the text of the book will be read without effort. Unlike tablets and smartphones with LCD-screen, you can use your reader even at the beach, not hiding under an umbrella from the bright sun.

PocketBook 640 – Powerful and fast gadget with up-to-date 1 GHz processor and 256 MB RAM. Built-in 4 GB storage allows to read more books than it’s needed even during the longest vacation. The reader supports Internet connection via Wi-Fi, which, in turn, opens limitless possibilities not only for reading, but also for social networking with the company service ReadRate. Dropbox and eBooks by email preinstalled, so you don’t have to connect to a PC to share content.

The gadget’s security features have not affected its weight or compactness. The device weighs only 170 grams, which means there’s even room for it in your overstuffed backpack. The reader is equipped with a powerful battery that provides up to a month of autonomous work. Going on vacation, you can safely leave the “charging” from the electronic reader at home.

Book forum Salon Du Livre, where PocketBook Aqua will be presented, will be held on March 21-24. After Salon Du Livre you can expect the novelty in the market. In the American market the price of the reader will make 6990 Dollars.
