If this Christmas you're looking for an eReader that's different from the usual ones, perhaps the Tagus Magno, sold by "La Casa del Libro," which we're going to present to you today and whose details we'll reveal, can offer you that something different from the most famous and best-selling devices on the market.
Without a doubt, even a quick glance reveals the biggest difference in the new Tagus device: it boasts a 9,7-inch screen , almost 4 inches larger than most other devices. This screen size can certainly be a major advantage, but also a significant drawback for many.
I want to take this opportunity to thank "La Casa del Libro" for providing me with a Tagus Magno so I could enjoy a short test of the device and a detailed explanation. I was pleasantly surprised by the device's features, which you can see below:

I must also say that I was somewhat disappointed with this device, as its 520 grams represent a significant drawback for me, and I'm sure for many others, but above all, its price, 299,90 euros, is the main flaw of the Tagus Magno.
If we analyze the device and all its characteristics in detail, it may be that its price should be high but I think not those almost 300 euros that we will have to pay to take it home. There are devices with similar characteristics on the market right now, reducing the size of the screen at a much lower price.
The question we must ask ourselves is; Is it worth paying 300 euros for a device with a large screen or is it worth paying a normal price for a device with a normal screen? The answer to this question should be taken by everyone.
Opinion freely
Without a doubt, it is evident that we are facing a powerful device with very particular characteristics in terms of its size and that surely suit the needs of many users, if they, for example, are not going to take it out of the house, but without a doubt its price It is not cheap at all and I think that a screen that is almost four inches larger than usual is not worth that money.
