Hanlin V3 e-book reader

Hanlin eReader V3 Introduction

If you’re looking for a low-cost device that performs all the functions of a portable e-reader quite well, Jinke’s budget e-reader, the Hanlin eReader V3, retails for $299. With a light weight of 7.8 ounces and a 6″ diagonal screen, the Hanlin V3 offers stable performance and a reliable reading experience for people who have a lot to read but are always on the go.

Features: hardware and software

The Hanlin eReader V3, Jinke’s entry-level offering, is a fairly straightforward e-reading device, implemented with the basic features of a modern portable reading device including a non-reflective Vizplex display that looks like real paper, crisp text and adjustable fonts. Power consumption is low, promising to last a full month at 300 page turns per day, and users can read uninterrupted for hours without worrying about recharging. The device can also play audiobooks and music.

The device has space for 1000 eBooks, documents and music files – more than enough on its own – but the option to expand via SD card only makes things better. If this number is not enough, users can increase their files up to 4 GB via the SD card expansion slot. The Hanlin eReader is also quite flexible with formats, displaying just about everything from .doc files to Mobipocket.

Advantage

For readers who love to have constant access to their books, the Hanlin eReader is small enough to fit in your bag. It’s about the size of a medium-sized hardcover book, but significantly thinner, making it easy to hold in one hand. The browsing options are fairly simple, making browsing your library a piece of cake. The Hanlin eReader V3 supports multiple languages, including English, Chinese, Russian, French, and Spanish.

Disadvantages

Designed solely for reading books, the Hanlin eReader V3 is rather spare and doesn’t support advanced features like Internet web browsing. The 4-level grayscale produces sharp text, but compared to the 8-level grayscale of the Sony 707 or the 16-level grayscale of the Kindle 2, the e-paper display looks like pages from a library book. a decade ago.

In terms of layout, the input buttons on the Hanlin V3 are very similar to those on the Sony 505, but they’re not as easy to use. Pressing the number keys can be quite frustrating and requires great force to respond. Jinke also needs to address the device’s slow response time.

The bottom line

If you’re looking for a simple and hassle-free e-reader, the Hanlin eReader V3 is an affordable portable reader. It may lack fancy features to make it stand out from the crowd, but its superior visual quality and reliability make it a wonderful companion.
