  • Reader PocketBook Touch 622
  • USB cable for PC connection

  • Appearance. Control elements

    Consider the device itself. The front panel is light, it is made of matte plastic. The back panel is black, with a soft-touch coating that is pleasant to the touch. Thanks to this, the device is pleasant to hold in your hands, plus this coating is wear-resistant and does not leave fingerprints on itself.

    The reader weighs only 195 grams. The design is ergonomic, the location of the buttons is good. It is convenient to use the device even with one hand, although the frame around the screen is too small, which is why accidental presses are possible.

    On the front panel under the screen there are scrolling buttons "Forward" and "Back", "Home" and "Menu". Between the central buttons and the display is an indicator that illuminates in eye-catching bright green. Fortunately, the user can turn off this backlight in the reader settings.

    The on / off key of the device is located at the bottom end. In addition to her, there are: microUSB-connector for connecting to a computer or charger, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a slot for microSD memory cards.

    Display

    The e-reader is equipped with a 6-inch screen made using E-Ink Pearl technology. The matrix resolution is 800x600 pixels (pixel density - 166 dpi). The touch capacitive layer works well and supports multi-touch.

    The contrast of the matrix is ​​good. 16 shades of gray are displayed.

    Hardware Capabilities

    The reader is equipped with a single-core FreeScale processor with a clock frequency of 800 megahertz. The amount of RAM is 128 megabytes. This is enough for fast and stable operation of the reader. Initially, only 500 megabytes of built-in flash memory is available to the user. A memory card is not included in the kit, you will have to buy it separately.

    The model is equipped with a Wi-Fi module, so you can go to the online book store.

    The reader has a 1100 mAh lithium-polymer battery. One full charge is enough for 8000 page flips (with Wi-Fi off), which is an excellent result. On average, you will need to charge the battery once a month.

    As for the format support, everything is in order here. PocketBook Touch 622 reads 19 popular file formats without problems, including: doc, docx, html, fb2, txt, rtf. Initially, the device contains ABBYY Lingvo dictionaries.

    Among other things, it is worth noting the presence of a player. The interface of this app is very simple (only lists and playback control buttons). Only mp3 files are supported. You can listen to music only with headphones, because there is no multimedia speaker in the reader. It is a pity that even simple inserts are not included in the package.

    Additional applications include a calculator, a clock, a graphics editor and a simple web browser.
