Medion MD86371, look at the lighter and more affordable for Medion eReader

E-book Txaumes on April 7, 2011 | 19: 01 For vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

He seen it coming. The irruption of the tablet market has launched a reaction chain in the sector of eReaders that has been made to lower the price of these devices of the guindo which was a year ago. A good example is the Medion MD86371 or medion life p6301, an electronic book reader reaching Spain at the interesting price of 149 euros.

Any eReader coming out to the market, and the medion md86371 is no exception, has to deal with a problem called Kindle. The aggressive policy of prices from Amazon with its reader star makes very difficult the rest of manufacturers to position their devices. However, there are quite reasonable alternatives and the new eReader of Medion is one of them. Let's see its characteristics.

Externally, the medion md86371 has dimensions almost identical to the Kindle WiFi (the most basic model of Amazon). The model of Medion measured 180 × 119 × 11 mm from the 190 × 121 × 8.5 of the Kindle. The thickness of the eReader German excess is compensated by a very manageable weight, only 212 grams.

At the level of controls and connections, the medion md86371 incorporates MiniUSB, jack 3.5 mm for audio and MicroSD card slot. Electronic ink, 6-inch and 16 levels of grayscreen, is touch and handles with comfort, both finger and stylus that is home to the casing. His response is slow, but can not ask you much more technology e-Ink. If we don't like touch screen, a small joystick, and a handful of buttons allow us access to all choices of menu pretty comfortably.

An interesting feature of the medion md86371 is that it comes with no less than 1,000 eBooks preloaded. The works belong to the Project Gutenberg , and although there is much trash, we find numerous volumes of classics such as Miguel Hernández, Benito Pérez Galdós, Vicente Blasco Ibañez, Voltaire and Alexandre Dumas, Père. It is not bad to begin with.

The equipment is compatible with the formats PDF, ePUB, HTML, DOC, TXT, RTF, Fb2 and PRC. Unfortunately, not read the proprietary format of Amazon, but that problem can always resolve with a format converter program for PC. The step by the computer is mandatory because the medion md86371 not include Wi-Fi and MicroSD or USB cards are unique connections with the outside world.

In addition to books, this eReader can play pictures in a handful of image (JPG, BMP, PNG and GIF) formats, and MP3 music. This last function has surprised us by its ease of use and good sound for a reader of books.

The device recognizes and explores very quickly any MicroSD card who him metamos and music playback software can boast of some reliability and comfort. It is a pity that it did not include headphones themselves, but it is better to not give helmets to give a third Division. For our tests, we have certainly used a few basic Sony Dr-EX13DPV.

The stylus can also be used to write notes handwritten or using a keyboard on the screen. The display refresh rate here is the greatest nuisance and only the most patients will use this function to write more than one sentence.

For information, the medion md86371 moves through a processor 532 Mhz that pays very well. Apart from what metamos you in memory, the internal capacity is 2 GBcards. In regards autonomy, the device incorporates a 1,100 mAh battery that pays, according to the manufacturer, 8,000 pages.

Of course, the duration of the battery is severely cropped if we listen to music. However, not to use led backlight screen, musical autonomy is higher than for most MP3 players and it will be several days before we have to reload.

The eReader of Medion we very pleasantly surprised. The screen is read with comfort and options, without being many, are enough to satisfy most users. What more is missing is a WiFi connection or the possibility of adding some simple application with a view to the future. However, this feeling is due more to the inertia of working with tablets that a deficiency of the MD86371.

What counts, he is to read books while listening to our favorite music, the medion md86371 is light, manageable, and with a competitive price. Without doubt, an option to consider for its entry in our baggage on holiday this summer.

Medion MD86371 has been granted for the test by Medion. You can consult our business policy.
