Digital Ink® technology

When using the Digital Ink® technology, the illustration of text or pictures is adopted by a "digital ink". The display is passive: It does not light as conventional LCDs and consumes energy only when loading or flipping a page. This achieves a very long battery life time. Once set "digital ink" remains until the next image build-up, i.e. the last displayed page remains visible, even if the eBook Reader is already switched off. A "burning-in" into the display is not possible with Digital Ink®.

Never expose the device to moisture, condensation and liquids.

Protect the device from extremely high and low temperatures and temperature fluctuations. Use the device within an ambient temperature of 10^ until 40^

Never place the device close to a source of heat, and protect it from direct sunlight.

The capacity indicated by your operating system can be different than the actual capacity of your device. Like most manufacturers of computer hardware, TrekStor uses the prefixes for units (e.g. 1 GB = 1.000.000.000 bytes) as prescribed by the International System of Units (SI). Unfortunately, many operating systems do not comply with this norm and display a lower capacity because they base their calculations on the assumption that 1 GB = 2 ^30 bytes = 1.073.741.824 bytes.

The manufacturer retains the right to continually improve the product. These changes may be made without being directly described in these operating instructions. For this reason, the information provided in these operating instructions may not reflect the current state of the art.
