- El price of EUR 99 is another of the great positive points of this Nolimbook +
- The tactile response of the device is perfect and fast
Negative points of the Nolimbook +

- The battery life, perhaps, can be a little poor, but being an eReader for most people it will be more than enough
Our opinion
After testing many devices, we were pleasantly surprised by the Nolimbook+ , not only for its design but also for the experience it offers when reading our favorite eBooks. It's not that we weren't expecting a good device, but it has far exceeded our expectations. And considering its price of €99, €30 less than, for example, the Kindle Paperwhite, we're even more impressed.
This Christmas I am going to give several of my relatives an eReader, and until I have tried this device, I can tell you in a totally sincere way, that I was very clear about what device to give them, but now everything has changed and I have many doubts. The doubts I imagine could be those that everyone has and that they are to trust a large company with a long experience of eReaders or trust Carrefour and this for my very good device.
