The famous sayings and aphorisms deposited in China’s 5,000-year history include many national mountains and rivers, small children and long love, and thousands of years of romance. These are all we got from the book. Fortunately, there is a book and pen to record it, so it can be continuous.
What is in the book, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house. So the question is, how long have you not read a book seriously? Today, when short videos are so popular that they are turning purple, it seems to be a difficult task to sink down and read.
If you use your mobile phone to read, you are often disturbed by the pop-up messages from various apps within half an hour. Therefore, when we want to read in a real way, we will buy a book or an e-reader. If we consider long-term reading , then the latter, thanks to the advancement of technology, contains thousands of books, which seems to be more suitable for the moment.
A few days ago, we received a device called iReader Smart 2, which is similar to an e-reader, but the official prefers to call it a super smart book, and intentionally opens the gap with the e-reader, why? Hold down the watch, let’s see what it looks like first.

iReader Smart2 uses a 10.3-inch flat ink screen, no blue light and anti-glare, with a resolution of 1872*1404 (227ppi), which is larger than the ordinary e-book screen, which may be one of the reasons why it is officially called a smart book, and supports refresh Rate adjustment, including three modes: normal, fast, and extreme. The surface of the screen is paper-like, and if you write with a stylus, there will be the rustling sound of real paper and pen.
In addition, there is a multi-function physical button on the front, which can be set to page up and down, switch reading lights, global refresh, return and other functions according to the duration and needs of pressing.

The thickness of the body is 6.2mm, which is thinner than a book. The body weight is 370g, compared with ordinary reading The device is heavier, but considering the large 10.3-inch screen and writing experience, this weight is not worth mentioning at all.

1. Reading
Of course, the appearance is only one of the conditions. The most important thing is to look at the software experience. The iReader Smart 2 has built-in UI 6.0, which optimizes the display and operation process, making it more unified, concise and user-friendly.

Facts have proved that the large screen is also suitable for use on the ink screen. In addition to displaying more text, the large screen is also suitable for long-term reading.
During the reading process, if there are words that are rarely seen in daily life, the system will automatically identify and mark them, and you can click to check the meaning of the words. The official name is “Omniscient Eye”, which is very friendly to users who have been reading for a long time, and it is worthy of praise.

During the reading process, the author uses a fast refresh rate. After several hours of reading and writing, the afterimage can only be seen faintly at the highest backlight brightness, and the afterimage is almost non-existent under the brightness. As far as I am concerned, the reading experience of iReader Smart 2 can completely compete with foreign mainstream readers.
In addition, iReader Smart 2 supports TXT, EPUB, PDF, MOBI and other formats, basically covering the current mainstream e-books and comics. In actual use, the opening speed is very fast, and the default layout is beautiful, and the official said that this PDF function reconstruction , using the palm reading self-developed intelligent algorithm, the page turning speed has been greatly improved, and the PDF page purification and full-text search functions are supported.

More than 70 sets of personalized note templates are built-in, including flowcharts, Accenture, Cornell, staff and other content. Whether it is TXT or PDF and Office documents, you can directly write annotations on the page, take notes, and support the content export of handwritten notes.
In the actual test, no broken touch was found. The pressure-sensitive pen is electromagnetic and does not need to be charged. During the writing process, it can feedback handwriting very sensitively, and supports 4096-level handwriting pressure sensitivity. For example, the weight of writing can be clearly identified. , the screen surface has a certain roughness, almost reaching the experience of real pen and paper.
At the same time, it has built-in pens, pencils, ball-point pens, brush pens, markers and other five different strokes. The 15-level thickness supports custom adjustment. In addition to writing records, it can even create comics. The handwriting can be transmitted to the mobile phone through Wi-Fi.
In addition, the dual microphones of iReader Smart 2 are not decorations. They support the recording function and convert them into text at the same time. For the student party, it is better to take notes in the classroom.
3. Summary
From a reading point of view, iReader Smart 2 brings a particularly comfortable reading experience with its 10.3-inch screen. Even if it sacrifices convenience, I think it is worthwhile. The ink screen is enough to support heavy reading, and this time it has increased compared to the previous generation. With the reading light, you can read after turning off the light at night.
The weight of 370g is just right, neither light nor heavy, after all, the current 5G mobile phone casually needs more than 200g. Of course, as a smartbook, iReader Smart 2 is absolutely easy to use with a stylus. As far as the author’s experience is concerned, Palm Reader has spent a lot of effort in restoring real paper and pen. Common similar products are much higher.
In the preface, the author mentioned that the iReader Smart 2 is called a smart book. What is the difference between it and an e-reader? It is the stylus and the writing experience brought by the stylus. No matter in any scene, you can quickly take out records. This kind of efficiency is irreplaceable for traditional paper and pen.
Finally, the price of 1999 yuan for iReader Smart 2 is really exciting. The 10.3-inch ink screen is enough to support the price, not to mention that this is a smart book that integrates reading and creation, and which boy doesn’t want one What about the instant noodle partner of 1999 yuan?
