What E Ink Carta Plus is...
E Ink Carta Plus is the latest generation of screens made by the "electronic paper" technology. Compared to the previous models, this screen has a higher resolution and contrast. 300 dpi pixel density is a record for this type of E Ink screens and corresponds to high-quality paper printing. Reading on such screens is as comfortable as on regular paper pages.
What the SNOW Field is...
SNOW Field is an operating mode of the screen, allowing to reduce the number of artifacts on the screen within partial refresh. If this function is on, full refresh of the screen is not necessary.
What Carta 1200 is...
Carta 1200 is a technical definition of the generation of electronic paper screens of the E Ink company. It provides 15% more contrast and 20% faster screen refreshing speed than older Carta 1000 screens.
What MOON Light 2 is...
The latest researches have shown that blue light prevents the production of melatonin (daily rhythms regulator), which is necessary for a person to sleep. Therefore, after reading on a glowing screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. MOON Light 2 allows you to adjust the brightness of cold and warm LED lights independently, choosing at will white light for reading during the daytime, and more yellow for reading before sleeping. The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates shimmering of the LEDs used in this screen frontlit system. This is due to the use of a DC power supply. The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort for sight and eye fatigue and decreases the chances of headache, caused by long use of the E Reader.
Screen frontlit system
MOON Light 2 technology allows you to use the device in the dark or in poor lighting conditions, without any harm to your sight. When using this function, a soft glow of the screen is being created which is optimal for reading in dark rooms. This front light system has a color temperature adjustment, and thanks to the use of Flicker-Free technology, shimmering of the screen is completely absent.
Flicker-Free
Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates the flickering of LEDs used in this front light system. This is due to the use of a direct current source. Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort and eye fatigue and reduces the likelihood of headaches caused by long use of the reader.
Unique form factor
The screen with a 2:1 aspect ratio makes it possible to bring the appearance of the E Reader as close as possible to a smartphone.
Screen auto-rotate function
A built-in G-sensor automatically selects the correct text orientation when the device is rotated. Thanks to this option, you can change the orientation of the E Reader and the image will be restructured automatically.
Capacitive multi-touch screen
The E Ink Carta Plus 6.13” screen has a lighter base and higher contrast than any screen in this class. It allows you to read in a bright sunlight and has a high screen refresh speed. The absence of flickering front light and the principle of image formation using “electronic ink” makes reading eye-friendly. This multi-touch screen provides easy control when reading: page turning with short taps, page moving, two-finger zoom, making notes in the text and usage of additional options.
Additional screen protection
Protective ONYX Glass is placed over the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damages. The new glass made it possible to abandon additional frame edges, so the screen is located flush to the body of the device. It makes the work with the E reader more comfortable and its look more up-to-date. In addition, a special coating reduces the likelihood of glare on the screen.
What ONYX Glass is...
ONYX Glass is a fundamentally new generation of protective glasses from ONYX. Aluminosilicate glass has increased transparency and ensures the absence of distortion of the original image. The glass is applied on top of the front light layer without an air gap during the manufacturing the display module. Instead of applying a matte layer, which can reduce contrast, 5% etching is used. It provides improved glare protection and does not hamper light passing.
Outstanding technical specifications
The 4-core Qualcomm processor with 2 GHz clock rate and 2 GB of RAM ensures a comfort work with the most complex documents. And 32 GB of nonvolatile memory together with a microSD slot allow the user to store a considerable library of favorite ebooks.
Bluetooth

OTG

Audio player
The device has a pre-installed audio player, so you can listen to music or audio books. To use it, just run a corresponding audio file. You also can connect earphones or external speakers either via Bluetooth or via the USB Type C connector.
Comfortable storing ebooks into the device
Along with a standard mode of copying ebooks into the device with the help of a USB-cable, you may use Wi-Fi to transfer files when connected to the Internet. The cloud PUSH-service BooxDrop is also available.
Apps installation
