Many probably know "Digma" from tablets and e-books. A good half of the models are in the budget segment and please consumers with attractive price tags. And if things are not so simple with tablets, then the reviews about Digma e-books are mostly positive.
Gadgets of such a plan from "Digma" have shown themselves well, quite adequately cope with the tasks. The brand offers a wide range of models for reading, and it is quite easy to get confused in all this variety. We will try to understand this issue and designate the most popular and most intelligent gadgets.
So, we present to your attention a brief overviewDigma e-books. Consider the main characteristics of the devices and their capabilities. Let's take into account the opinion of experts in this field and the reviews of ordinary book users.
Digma e500/e501
These are models with a five-inch screen, and they differ from each other only in the type of matrix. For the Digma e500 e-book, the E-Ink Vizplex is responsible for the graphic component, and for the e501, Pearl. In the first case, we have colder tones, and in the second, warm ones. It's like comparing a fluorescent light bulb to a regular light bulb. Both matrices are about equally popular, so it all depends on personal preference.
Managing the device is very simple, you can even do without reading the long instructions for the Digma e-book. The keys located under the screen on the sides are responsible for turning pages. In the same place, in the center, there is a joystick designed for navigating through the menu branches. The interface of the device is intuitive, so there should be no problems with its development. In addition, the platform received competent Russian-language localization.
Features of models
Digma e-books of the e500 and e501 series have a resolution that is quite comfortable for its diagonal - 600 by 800 pixels, with a dot density of 200 ppi. So there is no pixelation as such, and individual dots are only noticeable upon close examination.
Users leave mostly positive feedback about Digma e-books in these series. Model interface does not slow down, local codecsupports a solid list of text formats (including graphics), and the visualization is quite tolerable, as is the battery life (up to 1600 pages per view).
The only shortcomings that consumers sometimes complain about are the lack of backlighting and the glossy screen. The latter does not allow you to read normally on a bright sunny day, acting as a mirror. So here we have home gadgets, and they are clearly not suitable for travel.
Digma r63S/e63S
These are two almost identical devices, where the critical difference between the e-reader Digma r63S and e63S is the backlight in the first case. The matrix works on the E-Ink Carta technology (16 shades of gray) and produces a resolution of 800 by 600 pixels. For a six-inch screen and for reading, this is enough.
The main controls are located at the bottom of the device. In the middle under the screen is a joystick for navigating through the menu, there are function keys on the sides, and on the ends you can see symmetrical page-turning buttons. The location is quite convenient, especially for those who are used to reading in vertical orientation.
The interface of the e-books Digma e63S and r63S received competent Russian localization, so there are no problems with mastering. It is quite difficult to get confused in it: menu branches with sections, according to users, are intuitive and simple.
Distinctive features of the series
The device reads all popular text and graphic formats, and the latestDigma e-book firmware updates allow you to work with archives and web layout - ZIP and HTML. Built-in memory is enough for about 5,000 books, and battery capacity for 3-4 thousand pages to read.
Users leave warm comments about Digma e-books in these series. Here is a convenient setting of fonts, formats and other visual qualities, long battery life, ergonomic controls, as well as a fairly high-quality assembly. Some consumers sometimes complain about the flickering backlight when it is turned on at the minimum level, but this is not critical.
Digma r634
The Digma r634 e-book differs from previous devices primarily in its attractive appearance. The device has finally become like a serious device, and not a plastic toy. Streamlined shapes and attention to detail made it competitive against other gadgets of this kind.
The book received a standard matrix with E-Ink Carta technology and a resolution of 800 by 600 pixels, which is quite enough for a 6-inch "text" device. It is also worth noting that the screen here is matte and does not go blind on a bright sunny day or in good sunlight. So you can safely take the book on trips and long trips.
The controls have the usual layout for Digma. In the middle under the screen there is a joystick for navigating through the menu, on the sides there are function keys, and on the ends there are symmetrical buttons for turning pages. You can deal with all this withoutinstructions.
Device Features
The eBook reads all popular text formats as well as image files, ZIP archives and simple HTML web layout. Memory is enough for about 5,000 books, and battery life for 3-4 thousand pages. The last point largely depends on the intensity of the backlight.
Users leave mostly positive feedback about the Digma r634 e-reader. In addition to an attractive exterior, it can offer a good visual component (16 shades of gray), trouble-free operation in well-lit rooms, convenient operation and “omnivorous” formats. The only fly in the ointment that consumers often complain about is the brakes when turning on the device or waking it from sleep mode.
Digma s602/s602W
Both models come with a matrix built using E-Ink Pearl technology (16 shades of gray), and are distinguished by the presence of a Wi-Fi module. The s602W gadget has it, along with a browser. In all other respects, they are identical and have no differences.
The matrix produces a full-fledged HD resolution with a resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels, which is enough for the eyes for a 6-inch gadget. The density of dots per inch is around 212 ppi, so pixelation is not visible to the naked eye.
One of the main features of these series is the presence of normal speakers and a full QWERTY keyboard. With its help, you can easily type text and surf the Internet. Despite the QWERTY format, the layout of the keys here is specific, and you will have to get used to it. If on a regular keyboard the buttons are "herringbone", then in the case of "Digma" we have a strict rectangular positioning.
Distinctive features of models
In the lower right part of the working area are the "Menu" and "Home" keys, and on the left side of the page turning buttons. The interface itself remained as simple and clear, only the functionality for surfing was added in the case of the s602W models. The firmware provides, albeit a small, but rather useful instruction without extra water, so there should not be any serious problems with getting started.
The books in these series read all popular text and image formats, ZIP archives, as well as audio files with the MP3 extension. The internal memory is enough for about 5,000 books, and the battery charge is enough for 2-3 thousand pages or a day of surfing the Internet.
Users are generally positive about these series and the capabilities of the models. Gadgets attract not only with a pleasant exterior, but also with an abundance of features and customization options. The disadvantages here are a short cable, a mediocre case that does not really protect the book, as well as the “slow” operation of the device.
Digma s683G
The Digma s683G e-book differs from the above models in the presence of a touch substrate. That is, in addition to the mechanical controls familiar to such gadgets, there is also a capacitive touchscreen. Judging by user reviews, the latter significantly facilitates and simplifies the work with the device.
The device received a matrix working on E-Ink Carta technology and issuing a resolution of 1027 by 768 pixels, which is more than enough for a 6-inch gadget. Pixelation is not visible here, if you do not look closely (212 ppi). There is also a built-in backlight, which greatly facilitates the operation of the book.
The set of controls is standard. At the bottom of the screen is a joystick, on the sides of the function keys. At the ends are buttons for turning pages. Users in their reviews separately mention the ergonomic component. The book is comfortable to hold and thanks to the balanced design, there is no discomfort even with prolonged use.
The book works with all popular text formats, as well as graphic extensions and ZIP archives. On HTML-layout, the device sometimes stops and adapts it not always correctly. Users also note that the menu does not provide for adjusting bold fonts. The manufacturer listened to the feedback and made the necessary amendments in the latest updates. So those who purchased the model this spring or earlier should update the firmware.
Device features
The interface of the book is simple and intuitive. The menu branches are made in the style familiar to the manufacturer, so those who switch from older models will find it very easy to navigate. In any case, there is a rather sensible help section, where the main points for working with the device are explained step by step.
Built-inthere is enough memory for a library of 5,000 books, and battery life for 3-4 thousand pages. It is also worth noting that the battery charges surprisingly quickly and discharges slowly, so there should not be any serious problems with autonomy. Especially if you don't use the backlight.
In general, users speak warmly about the model and its capabilities. Here we have a good visual component, excellent ergonomic indicators, and most importantly, touch input, which greatly facilitates the usability of the device. Of the minuses, users note the “thoughtfulness” of the gadget from time to time.
Summing up
When choosing e-books from the assortment of the Digma brand, you need to understand that the manufacturer produces devices for the budget segment, and you should not count on something pretentious here. For this, there are mid-price and premium categories.
Users in their reviews often complain about the mediocre assembly and the quality of the materials used. But you can close your eyes to this by looking at the cost of Digma e-books. If you are a careful user and take good care of your things, then the build quality is not so critical here, especially if you want to save money.
The performance of budget devices and gadgets "Digma" is also not very high. But here, in general, it is not needed. It is enough if the device has a good matrix, as well as a decent picture, quickly flips through the pages, and you can close your eyes to everything else. Still, in our hands we do not have a gaming tablet, bute-book is a specific product aimed primarily at organizing reading.
