Aragon N96ML Large Size e-ink Reader Unpacking

When you mention the reader, you basically think of the kindle. It's true that the kindle generation has iterated down and is very mature. Together with Amazon's content resources, it basically monopolizes the vast majority of market share. If you ask what is the best mobile phone, from what is worth buying reviews to support iPhone is half (though I personally think there is no suspense). But what is the best reader, probably no one would object to Kindle. But why do I still want to try other home readers? Because of the size.

The Kindle's reading of plain text has already reached the limit, but due to the suspension of the Kindle DXG (commonly known as Big Watermelon), the 9.7-inch product will never leave the Kindle's product line. This may be better for mature markets in Europe and America. After all, we all buy genuine book resources and the demand for PDF is not high. But we are different here. There is still a certain market for the demand for scanned PDF. The 6-inch support for PDF and comics is not very friendly. Currently, only 9.7-inch products are currently on the market. Bogeo G10, Hanwang E920 and Aragon N96ML are the latest products of these three manufacturers, respectively. However, considering that both Boeing and Hanwang are products of at least four years or more. Buy more than four years of electronic products, then buy a new car than buy a circle to buy a "new" Long Yi but also desolate. Although there may be no problem with the hardware, software services have not been able to keep up with the requirements. Bo Yue G10 is basically a cottage version of Kindle big watermelon, now online to sell 700 to 800, and the price of used watermelon. The price of the Hanwang E920 from 2800+ has now dropped to 1600-, and it is said that the production is stopped. So the alternative is the Aragon N96.


Looked at Ma Yunjia and milk tea homes, prices are the same, historical prices are also very strong. So do not tangled, direct milk tea home orders. Order started yesterday. Apart from anything else, look out of the box.

Packaging is nothing special, and take it away.

Get out of the black box and have a layer inside.

This is the real body. Things are relatively simple, a reader, a data cable, a stylus, the rest is the specification and warranty book. You're not mistaken, stylus! This does not support hand touch. There are two versions of N96, you can touch it without backlight. Looked at word of mouth or bought a version with a backlight. Then, starting from here, the style of the article has turned sharply and the high-energy warning in front has been made.

Everything is normal from the moment. The sense of surface touch, key feedback, and weight grip are not particularly sensational, and the feeling is what it should be. Then I booted.

Opening the machine is to set the time zone, and then from the standard time zone, page by page, page turn, page selection after a lot of pages to select the Beijing time zone, select the time zone in the set date and time. Did you TM tease me? Do you want me to waste so much time setting up to connect to wifi? Pen touch experience is not good there are wood? And the title bar is very touching and there are wood! (Of course my camera didn't compare the results.)

Then, I found that the entire top quarter of the screen was lighter in color, no matter if any page was shallow. This must be a quality issue. Of course, E-ink is a common problem, but seeing a certain page is invisible. For example, the middle piece of this picture is clearly black. That's because the one in the middle just recalled the effect of a dialog box. What is displayed now is a PDF that automatically crops the white border. This feature is the biggest highlight of aragonite. Indeed, cutting off the white edge looks much better. Looking at the literature is still very powerful. But this is the only advantage, the rest are slot points.

To make the word clearer, I tried to deepen it. Unfortunately, the font size support for the literature is not very good. A total of four gears to boldly adjust each file are not so entertained, it is better not to deepen.

Then the most broken point appeared. In general, the contents of other formats are opened for about 6 to 7 seconds for the first time. This is a bit slow or how much it can endure. The PDF initialization time is more sorry. I copied a book 17M into it, and it took almost half a minute to complete the initialization. After I went in, I didn't find the trimming function when I read the PDF document. So I tested the effect of the page rearrangement. After ten seconds, the page was regenerated. The effect was the one on the diagram. I think this is good, the word looks very comfortable. Sure enough, the optimized skills of our domestic software are still grounded. So I tested and turned over one page, and then... I've gone and every page has to be re-optimized. ! Wait 10 seconds for each page. Are you making me happy? Then I still do not want to rearrange it, and then, wait, how should I go back? Switch? I rely on! There are more than a dozen switches to the entire screen, and no one is to switch this setting back! Originally, I would also like to say that the colors of the screen are not uniform and the resolution is not high. These are forgiving. Can not touch the hand I use the pen plus physical buttons also improvise. But at this moment I can no longer insist on it, open the computer, landing Jingdong, return. Quality problems + experience dregs can not tolerate. Yes, I have no patience. I just gave up in less than five minutes. It should be set back. But I'm not happy. A reader only, I think the difficulty of use should be lower than the TV remote control, it should be fool-style to use it. You actually want me to go to the forum to find posts? This has broken through my psychological tolerance threshold (this word is lustful, but it's not a valve. Yes, I'll tell you who, I'm obsessive about obstructing the threshold).

Summarize the feeling of this machine. Before I bought it, I posted and discussed a lot of discussions. The advantage of this section is that it is optimized for PDF, and everyone is very satisfied with its software. The disadvantage is that work is much worse than Amazon. The paper book post has become the battlefield of the aragonite. The two distinct factions tell each other that the water army is enjoying themselves. The argentine post accounted for almost half of the time, and no one in Amazon discussed it. I think that since the software is good, I still try to buy it. The results of a long time, the so-called good software is a PDF optimization only. Human-computer interaction is almost none of the worst electronics I've ever seen, not even native Android. Because at least the controls on the phone screen are comfortable. E-ink's innate nature is one step and three cards. Reading a book is not enough to do anything else. Everybody just saw that booting is setting the time zone date and time. This interaction is simply a waste of time. There are also various strange and pitfall page settings. To find a function from the top to the bottom of the page, from left to right, there is absolutely no clear organization. Into the main panel actually must use a stylus to open the book, can not directly use the physical key operation. And the page's setting style is completely unconformable. I think the page that sets the time is definitely not the same as the other controls. This company certainly did not request a full-time UI, or the UI is a residue. As a product manager, I simply wanted to circulate this to the company's R&D staff to see if a failed user interface could fail. Every time I mention the user experience, people always feel that they disapprove. It's a pity that the return has been made. I've packed everything together, and I'm too lazy to take pictures.

Do you think this is over? What is the default function of the page up/down keys? volume button! Yes, you read it right, the volume key. And even if changed to other features, the volume control is still the default option will be excited at the same time! A reader, actually sound card! How many people reading books need to read out? Well, I think this, what is the ghost of that music player? What is the ghost of the browser? What is the ghost of a video that claims to play (I didn't try it out)? Can you do something positive? The key to Amazon’s good sales is expertise. There are no functions other than reading books. The interface is simple and the function is simple and organized. And Amazon has always occupied a lot of content resources, hardware does not make money selling content. There is no content of domestic manufacturers this day, it is good to come up with some sincerity to come, the software gets a little better, the price is a little more affordable. Don't do a bunch of things that don't apply to flicker? I decided to find an altar friend to try second hand watermelon. If it is not good, then be honest and print it down. More than 2000 garbage can't be purchased.
