E-readers typically have one defining characteristic: their size of between 6 and 7 inches, although larger devices exist on the market , which can be very interesting for those who do not intend to carry them around.
The eReader we are presenting today, the ARCHOS 90 , has a 9-inch screen with powerful features and a fairly affordable price.
The ARCHOS 90 is an interesting device aimed at those who want not just an eReader, but a gadget that takes things a step further. Thanks to its large 9-inch (23 cm) TFT screen in a book-like format and its 10-hour battery life, you can enjoy not only your ebooks but also your favorite videos, music, or internet browsing.
It is certainly important to keep in mind that we are talking about a screen, not only 9 inches but a screen that will allow us to see everything in color.
The most interesting and important features of the ARCHOS 90 are:
- Size: 232 x 160 x 10 mm
- Weight: 430 grams
- Screen: incorporates a 9-inch LCD screen that allows a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels
- Internal memorya: 4 gigs expandable via microSD cards up to 16 gigs
- Supported formats: PDF, EPUB (DRM Adobe PDF and EPUB), TXT, FB2, MP3, MPEG-4 AVI, FLV, MPG, RM, RMVB, FLV, MP4, DAT, VOB, MKV, MOV (up to HD 720p)
Once again I've had the chance to test the device, although this time I can't reveal where or how because I've been asked not to, but I will say that, without a doubt, and considering its price of 99.99 euros, it's a truly interesting device.
It has beautiful finishes, the keys arranged in a very comfortable way when reading and a fairly fast and acceptable page turning speed. The only thing I could put a but is on its screen, which perhaps, after a few minutes reading, can tire our eyes too much.
My personal opinion is that this is a good device for anyone looking for an eReader that's a bit larger than normal, just one step closer to what a tablet can offer.
