Basic 6-inch Kindle e-reader uses an electronic ink screen that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room. Unlike tablet screens, Kindle has no glare.
The Kindle E-reader, a contraption birthed from Amazon's prodigious desire to rule all known realms of reading, functions as an unassailable ticket to its sprawling empire of words. Imagine, if you will, a device so deeply entrenched in Amazon’s universe that it practically whispers, "Jeff Bezos is watching," every time you turn a page. With an E Ink display so convincingly paper-like that even trees would be hard-pressed to call it out as a fraud, the Kindle comes armed with an arsenal of formats like AZW3, MOBI and PDF, ready to devour texts from Amazon’s endless shelves. Layer this with Whispersync, a black magic of synchronization and Kindle Unlimited, the all-you-can-read buffet of literature and you've got a device so integrated into Amazon’s ecosystem that it might as well serve ads for Prime Day while you sleep.
The InkBook Lumos, on the other hand, is the rebel poet of the e-reader universe, a device that greets Amazon’s ecosystem with a jaunty shrug and a pointed refusal to conform. Sporting a respectable 7.8-inch E Ink Carta HD display and front lighting for those nocturnal reading marathons, it offers a larger playground for the eyes. The Lumos, though, is no gatekeeper—it embraces ePub, MOBI and a smattering of other formats like a kindly librarian welcoming books from every corner of the galaxy. Its software, a looser patchwork of customization and open-ended compatibility, lacks the imperial sheen of Amazon’s ecosystem, but it more than makes up for it by saying, “Go ahead, buy your books wherever you please—just don’t spill tea on me.”
Where the Kindle strides with the confidence of a device built to sync, recommend and endlessly tether you to Amazon’s whims, the InkBook Lumos prefers the quiet flexibility of a device that simply reads.
