Aluratek Libra Pro

jbcohen · 11-09-2010, 08:17 AM

After my Pandigital Novel was stollen I looked for a replacement for the price I wanted to pay for it $100 and came up with the Aluratek Libra Pro.

Pros:

1) Extra low price compared to other readers
2) Quick boot time
3) Excellent recycle time
4) Book access rate is slow but exceptable
5) Excellent screen
6) Downloading and uploading of books to reader is handled by Adobe Digital Editions which makes the process very smooth

Cons:

1) No search function
2) No Keyboard
3) No dictionary
4) No notes in margins

Bottom line: Its not as good as the Sony PRS or the Kindle but you get what you pay for. Its great for the price that I paid for it.

jbcohen,

I think your thread belongs in the ectaco forum. Just because the hardware is identical to the jetbook.

By the way, you failed to mention what IMHO is the biggest pro the Libre has:

you can read library books on your ereader past its lending period

I don't think any of the popular ereaders - Kindle, Sony, Nook can boast this feature. Very helpful for folks who like to read slowly and savor their ebooks

I've had one for about a year now and I got no reason to want anything else
