Aluratek Libre eBook Reader Pro Review

 

Today I am going to check out the Aluratek Libre eBook Reader Pro. This is a small and compact digital reader that can be purchased online and in some retail stores. If you are after an eBook reader that is cheap and easy to use the Aluratek Libre...

Cheap ; Easy to use

Aluratek Libre eBook Reader Pro

 

If you don't mind charging it every day, this gray-scale, LCD-based e-reader is a good low-cost option that can read e-books from more than one bookstore.

Superior display contrast; page-jump functions; supports downloads from Borders, Google Books, other sources

No Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity; relatively slow to load a new book the first time; no chapter-jump function; much shorter battery life than E Ink-based readers

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

Review: Aluratek Libre eBook Reader Pro

 

The no-frills, lightweight Aluratek Libre eBook Reader Pro is a refreshing surprise among e-book readers.

Review: Libre e-reader by Aluratek

 

Like Sal noted in a previous post, manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon with their version of an e-reader. Honestly, you can't blame them, companies are simply trying to ride on the coat tails of Kindle's success. Unfortunately, when that happens...

Aluratek Libre Pro

 

Aluratek Libre Pro Reader sports a 5-inch screen with 640 x 480 VGA and 16 shades of gray. Like EPDs, the screen is not backlit, allowing you to read even in direct sunlight. Also, it does not suffer from flash between turns found on eInk devices....

The Aluratek Libre Pro sports a black plastic casing that is smudge- and fingerprint-resistant. The reader also feels solid to hold. Also, the device comes with a lot of freebies including a 2GB card and 100 free preloaded books. Sure, you get can...

Because of its small screen size, the Aluratek Libre Pro Reader is not ideal for viewing PDFs. Also, it is unable to display some PDF files. The device suffers from freezes, too, particularly when loading or displaying JPG image or when using the Find...

This Aluratek Libre Pro eReader is surprisingly solid and capable. If you are looking for an eReader that you can use in both low light conditions and under direct sunlight, the Aluratek Libre Pro is affordably priced from $99 – $189. The device is...

It's OK - but it is not a Kindle

 

I returned this item. I think it is a good product, but I have had my hands on a lot of them, and after hoping this one would be the one, I finally gave up trying "Kindle-like" models and just bought the Kindle. I am not happy about being limited to...

Stylish protection

 

A review commenting how the Libre\'s screen malfunctioned made me want to get this leather case for my wife, so she could carry the unit in her purse without worry. The stylish case is a precise fit for the reader. I\'m not saying the case will enable...
