Review: Infibeam Pi E-Reader


Wow this is a cool thing to have by every book reader.
pros:
1) Price. At 9999 its the best you can get.
2) Battery life. Once charged it lasts for at least 400 pages.
3) Wight is far less then I expected. It weighs less than a magazine.
4) Easy to operate. A 5 year old kid can operate with out a problem. No learning curve at all.
5) Book marking feature is very great. You can have multiple book marks for every book.
6) Font size changing. When you change the font the page layout changes automatically. On this device there is nothing called scrolling.
Cons:
1) No physical key board. I feel there is a space on the device next to navigation button to give a small key board may not be the QWER one.
2) The search provided is almost useless. Typing using soft key board is almost impossible.
3) The side buttons for bookmarking and font size should be more prominent and easy to use.

My Wishlist for this device:

1) There should be key for zoomin-zoomout as well. To avoid few clicks, which could be very helpful.
2) A physical key board could be a great feature to this device. I think you even have a space to add a small keyboard. Hope this will be added in future. To me search is useless feature, because typing is such painful task.
3) A notepad like utility would be great to add some notes on every book we read. This is only good in case of a keyboard
4) Software upgrades to the existing devices.
5) A small micro USB keyboard for the existing devices and software upgrade for supporting. Something which we can stick in back of the book reader.
