(I'm in my late 70's and have eye problems, including severe dry eyes; I find I can still use a computer provided that I liberally and often apply artificial tears to my eyes while working on an epub on the computer)

The listing doesn't include a charger, but wall plug usb chargers are cheap at Amazon. I know nothing about this model; I suspect it has similar font size/format options as my One model, but perhaps someone else can tell you for certain about it. Bebook is out of business but at the above ebay listing you don't risk much if it eventually fails, and ebay will stand behind your purchase if it is DOA. |
BeBook Club is 6", non-Pearl and non-touch (and so operation is not "uncomplicated"). It's a rebranded Onyx reader, and it has nothing to do with the Bebook One. BeBook's original provider, Endless Ideas is out of business, but they have a new owner.
The Club was quite a good reader when it came out a couple of years ago (I actually bought one for my wife), but there are better readers now that will cost you hardly more. There is a newer version of the Club, called Club S, which has a Pearl screen, so better contrast.
