Been on holiday with it and barely used any battery and could read in bright sunlight. Also like using dark mode to read at night. Highly recommend. 5*
I’ve been hugely impressed by how light-weight it is and easy to carry around. The back light makes it perfect for nighttime reading and I’ve found it way more absorbing than before, easy to replace some printed books.
I initial bought it hoping to use it for some reading I’m doing for study, but I’ve found it doesn’t display tables well because of the small sized screen. So is better suited to reading fiction rather than study for me.
