E-readers

An e-reader is a device designed to read e-books (and for that purpose only). Specifically, an e-reader is characterized by:

▸ an e-ink screen: unlike tablets or smartphones, its screen is not backlit and mimics the look of paper, offering optimal reading comfort, even in direct sunlight. Also, e-ink does not strain the eyes.
▸ exceptional battery life: since it consumes very little energy (only when turning a page), its battery can last several weeks, or even a full month.
▸ large storage capacity: lightweight and compact, an e-reader lets you carry thousands of books in a single device.

In short, it’s the equivalent of a paper book, but with all the advantages of digital technology.

An e-reader’s screen uses E Ink technology, also known as electronic ink. This screen has a matte finish that closely resembles printed paper and is not backlit. While smartphone screens strain your eyes, your e-reader’s screen is gentle on them.

It’s largely thanks to electronic ink that an e-reader consumes very little energy. A single charge allows you to read for up to several weeks. Few devices today can match this level of performance.

No, definitely not! People often—and wrongly—pit e-books against paper books. But you only need to try it once to realize that e-books are actually the best friend of book lovers in general, and that they will never replace paper books: the two are complementary, and e-books offer an excellent alternative for all readers.

Vivlio e-readers come with a 2-year warranty. This warranty covers all malfunctions, whether mechanical or software-related, and ensures immediate after-sales service through your bookseller. However, the warranty excludes physical damage (whether intentional or accidental) to the e-reader and does not cover normal wear and tear on the device and its battery, nor does it cover accessories (cables, adapters, etc.).
