There’s a pair of buttons on either side of the screen, and they are too close together.
I also found myself frequently frustrated by the page turn buttons. Furthermore, I found that I could not get apps to run due to limited RAM (512 MB). The Lumos runs a buggy and unstable reading app that kept crashing when it wasn’t getting stuck in a feedback loop of phantom touchscreen presses. With most ereaders that would be a strong recommendation, but with the Lumos those 3 books instead gave me enough time to truly appreciate the ereader’s shortcomings. I really got into the first book in a series, so I kept reading the second and third installments on the Lumos. I spent a couple weeks reading on the Lumos.
INKBOOK CLASSIC 2 REVIEW SOFTWARE
That’s what the specs would tell you, but real life use has shown me that the screen resolution isn’t a problem (I didn’t even notice) but the software is.
INKBOOK CLASSIC 2 REVIEW ANDROID
If you read its specs you would think that the Lumos’s selling points include a color-shifting frontlight and the option of installing reading apps on Android 4.2.2, and that its chief weakness was an 800 x 600 screen resolution.
INKBOOK CLASSIC 2 REVIEW INSTALL
Half the value of an Android ereader is installing Android apps, so if I can’t install apps then this might as well be a basic ereader that runs Linux rather than Android. I’m going to half to test this further, but what I have seen so far is not encouraging. It crashes the first three times I ran it, and once I managed to log in, the app struggled to even show me my library. I can live with the screen (it’s the same resolution as on the basic Kindle) but the RAM shortfall has proven to be a serious issue.Īrta Tech makes it easy to install the Kindle app (it takes just two clicks) but that doesn’t really help any because I can’t run the Kindle app. (There’s also no Google Play, but that was to be expected for low-cost device.) The Lumos has a low-resolution 800 x 600 E-ink screen and is limited to only 512 RAM, which means that even though you can install your own Android apps, they’re not going to run fast or look as god as they would on better Android ereaders. It runs Android 4.2 on a dual-core CPU, and it has a color-changing frontlight as well as a card slot, but it also has its weaknesses. With a price tag of $100 ( at Amazon), the Lumos is intended to be a competitor to the basic Kindle, and it has its strengths. The InkBook Lumos from Arta Tech is an odd little beast.
