PocketBook 901 electronic reader competes with Kindle DX in the e-reader market

Swapping Screens and Saving Green

Are you a fan of oversized e-Readers? Well, buckle up, bibliophiles! The traditional notion of e-Readers sticking to the 6-inch or smaller screen is being challenged by the PocketBook 901. This e-Reader boasts a whopping 9.7-inch screen, all while keeping your wallet happy with a jaw-dropping $350 price tag. But let's not get ahead of ourselves – money talks, but so do corners cut during production.

The PocketBook 901: A Barebones Office Buddy

PocketBook's Ukrainian creativity cobbled together this budget-friendly e-Reader, leaving out some luxuries like touchscreen and WiFi in anticipation of a more feature-loaded PocketBook 902. That doesn't mean this is a heathen device, though. The 901 packs a 9.7-inch E-Ink screen, USB and SD card slots, and sports an impressive battery that offers up to 10,000 page turns.

A Lightweight fighter against the Kindle DX

Whether you're a bookworm or a hardcore academic, the PocketBook 901's lightweight design (350 grams) makes this e-Reader easier to carry, surpassing the Amazon Kindle DX by a substantial 150 grams. Oh, and did we mention it's also lighter than the Hanlin A9 e-Reader with a 9.1-inch screen? The secret? PocketBook ditches the typically glass display wafer in favor of plastic for a noticeable drop in weight.

Educationally Oriented and Vibrant

The 901's distinctive charm extends to its design. With a colorful array of Skittles-like buttons for navigation, the e-Reader stands out among the stark white competitors in the market. Other educational-focused features include a calculator, built-in dictionaries, and side notes. Although its speed is based on E-Ink technology, users might experience a slight delay during page refresh.

A Global Student: Expanding Horizons

The PocketBook 901 is gearing up for a global presence, with trial versions in Ukraine and Russia, soon to be sold in India, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia. So, stay tuned for more news on this exciting development in the world of e-Readers.
