The e-book for schoolchildren is a really useful device, suitable in this case even better than a tablet. The e-book does not spoil the vision due to the E-Ink screen technology that simulates ink on paper, and is limited in functionality, so that the student will not be able to use the gadget for gaming purposes.
The gadget for the student should have:
- switchable backlight screen, so as not to strain your eyes when reading in conditions of sufficient light;
- support for multiple text and image formats;
- powerful battery, so that the device is not discharged in the middle of the school day;
- comfortable dimensions and low weight to fit well in the children's hand and not to overburden the already massive schoolboy backpack;
- Wi-Fi module for fast downloading of necessary files and surfing the net (for study, of course);
- simple operation
The optional requirements for the reader, which will definitely take root in the adolescent, are waterproof (for reading in the bathroom and as an extra protection just in case the children are still) and support for the XML format for launching, creating and editing Excel tables.
We have compiled a ranking of the best e-books that are ideal for students. These are robust functional models with useful, and sometimes unusual, features.
Top 5 best e-books for schoolchildren
5 PocketBook 641 Aqua 2
Water protection
A country: Switzerland
Average price: 10990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
E-book that has saved the navigation buttons with a touchscreen display. The screen is incomparable: all six inches of the diagonal are implemented according to the principle of “electronic ink”, which do not waste the charge when outputting text, do not have a bad effect on the eyes and imitate the paper version of the book quite well. The resolution allows the text to look almost handwritten, without breaking down into visible pixels.
Bluetooth is not here, there is Wi-Fi, which is enough. The backlight is adjustable, the battery life is pleasantly surprising - according to reviews, 30% of the charge is enough for two weeks. Even the most demanding student of technology this set of characteristics will be enough. The word "Aqua" in the title hints about water protection. Dust and moisture protection is implemented using plugs in the process connectors, rubberized body and hydrogel around the perimeter of the body gluing. Users say that this e-book has stood the test of water and time.
4 ONYX BOOX Cleopatra 3
Large screen and backlight adjustment
A country: China
Average price: 14490 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
A larger-screen model with a diagonal of 6.8 inches and high-quality backlighting, which allows you to adjust the color temperature of the glow. Nothing flickers and does not press on the eyes. Experienced users in the reviews note the speed - the book turns on, turns the pages and opens files much faster than its predecessors. And those who switched to “Cleopatra” from an e-book without Android on board complain about the long process of switching on. But this feature of the axis is covered by the expanded functionality, a lot of settings and the ability to install third-party applications.
The screen does not glare in the sun, does not irritate the eyes. In a review, someone told a secret how he accidentally checked an e-book for shock resistance. The device survived a fall on the marble floor in the subway - no consequences were detected.

Rating (2019): 4.7
The model is endowed with a huge by the standards of e-books screen with a diagonal of 7.8 inches.The E-Ink display in the newest generation of Carta pleases with an increased contrast of “electronic ink”, which are harmless to children's eyes. The screen resolution is such that the number of pixels per inch reaches three hundred - that's a lot, and that's good.
Without crutches, files are opened in FB2, PDF, JPEG, PNG and XLS. ZIP archives also do not hide under the icon with a question mark - the format of this e-book is familiar. 8 GB of internal memory can be expanded due to the resource of the memory card. There is Wi-Fi, but there is no “Bluetooth”. Batteries last for 15 thousand pages or a month and a half, judging by user feedback. And the weighty “bun” from the manufacturer is the proprietary PocketBook Cloud ecosystem, which synchronizes the book with a computer and a smartphone. Now you can transfer files not only via Dropbox.

Rating (2019): 4.8
Buttonless reader with a basic set of functions. The model can not boast of the support of rare formats and the ability to connect a memory card. But here surprisingly compact dimensions with a six-inch screen and a small weight - 160 grams, when competitors are usually no lighter than 200 grams. The screen is touch, there are no physical navigation buttons. To turn the page does not need to do complex swipe - just one touch in a certain area of the display.
There are quite a few settings - users even adjust the line spacing. With the help of Wi-Fi, you can visit a bookstore with nice prices and buy your favorite reading matter. Owners in the reviews note the speed of the e-book - even PDF files are scanned without delay. A gift from the manufacturer - ABBY Lingvo free dictionary. This is the best inexpensive version of the book for the student.

The device works under the Android system, thanks to which the user is provided with the broadest options.

The screen is covered with a protective glass Asahi. “Robinson Crusoe” of the second generation also supports files of the XLS format - Excel tables.
