    2.0 out of 5 starsCheap but functional.December 25, 2010
    By Steven A. GodunVINE™ VOICE

    UPDATE 2011-01-10: I've reduced my rating from three to two stars, given the additional experiences that I've had with this reader. My review has been updated to reflect those new experiences (particularly in the realm of power management and button controls).I'm a very casual book reader and a very serious gadget enthusiast. I got this book reader as a promotional item at a popular mattress store (yes, really) when I bought a new bed for my daughter. I thought it would be an interesting gadget to play with and since it didn't cost me anything, I figured what the heck.It arrives in an attractive box which contains the reader itself, an AC power adapter (charger) with cable, a USB charging/data cable, a pair of earbud headphones that look almost exactly like the original iPod earbuds, a black fake leather case, a couple of "STOP!" warning pages (one English, one French) telling you to read the manual before using the reader, and a 40 page manual (20 pages each English and French).Have you ever gone to a flea market or dollar store and found shelves upon shelves of cheap Chinese knock-off versions of popular products? Like, you'd never find a "Voltron" toy set or Brillo soap pads or Breyer's ice cream or Clorox bleach, but you'd often find things like "Lion Force" or "Robo-Lions" toys, "Brilly" soap pads or "Brayer's" ice cream or "Chloro-Max" bleach. They were all similar enough to 'the real thing' - similar packaging, similar color schemes, similar logos, etc - but were usually quite a bit cheaper, and never quite as good as the real thing.The iView book reader is just like this. It sorta looks like a Kindle or Nook, and has a color LCD screen like an iPad, but isn't anywhere near as good as any of them. This is a product designed for people who think they might want an ebook reader but don't want to pay for the quality afforded by brand names and are okay with sacrificing quality for price.I'm not going to reiterate the specs as they're already listed in this Amazon page. There is one discrepancy I noticed. The Amazon page says that it supports up to 32GB SDHC cards, but the manual with the unit says 16GB. As I don't own anything above an 8GB card I was unable to verify either claim.The screen is reasonablty bright with a matte finish, making it easier to read in bright light or outdoors. (Are you listening, Apple?) The plastic case is nicely textured, not unlike a laptop's trackpad, making it easy to grip. The buttons are clearly marked. It supports a reasonably wide assortment of file formats including PDF so it's not terribly difficult to find content for it. (One of the first things I did was download a few books from the Baen free library and it worked perfectly.) Connecting it to the computer with the provided USB cable makes the device show up as a standard USB storage device. To load content onto it, you simply drag and drop from your desktop. There is no sync tool; in fact, there is no software to load onto your computer at all. Screen quality is good. Not great, but good. As a book reader it supports several text sizes so those of you with failing eyesight can adjust the text size quite a bit. Battery life is decent; I ran it for several hours at full brightness and only lost one (of four) battery bars.This is where the cheapness starts to come in. It weighs about a half pound, the same as the current model Kindle, but its shape makes it feel heavier. There are, IMO, too many buttons; 23 in total and they're not all placed logically or conveniently, nor do they perform unique functions. For example, on the right side are "up/down" and "left/right" buttons. When navigating the menus the logical action would mimic an iPod's controls; up and down to move the selection cursor, left and right to drill down and up through a menu selection. In practice, left/right and up/down work identically (left and up both move the selection up, while right and down both move the selection down). You select a menu option by pressing the button at the bottom center of the unit, inexplicably labeled "M" for some reason. Also, there is a directional button (up/down/left/right) surrounding the "M" button which exactly duplicates the functionality of the side-mounted up/down and left/right buttons. So, yeah, there's FOUR ways to move the menu selection at any given time - left, up, left directional button, or up directional button to move the selection up, and right, down, right directional button, or down directional button to move the selection down. Why, I don't know.Power management on this device, as a whole, is just weird. It took me a couple of weeks to figure out all of the power management rules and I don't want to bore you with the details. Suffice to say, here are the highlights:1. There is a physical power switch on the bottom edge of the device, AND a power button on the bottom of the face. Another iView mystery, I suppose. On the surface they seem to do the same thing but, no, they actually perform two different actions. More on that in a moment.2. The physical power switch is backwards. Every single gadget I own (which has a physical power switch) slides the power switch to the right to turn on and left to turn off. On this device it's flipped.3. The power-on function was also somewhat disconcerting. To power on you first flip the physical power switch on, then hold down the power button for about four seconds, which is just about long enough to make you wonder if you've done something wrong right before the unit powers up. To power off you can either hold the power button for about four seconds or just flip the physical power switch off.4. This is where the two different actions of the power switch/button come to play. This device has no *apparent* "sleep mode" to speak of. No matter how you turn it "on" the device always starts the same way, with the iView welcome screen followed by the main menu. However, INTERNALLY there is a difference. Specifically, if you turn off the device by holding down the power button, the device appears to turn off - but it's actually still sucking power from the battery. I had fully charged the device on a Thursday afternoon and used the power button to turn it off (or so I thought). I had not used the device _at_all_ until Sunday evening, at which time I discovered the battery was completely discharged. HOWEVER, after fully charging the device again, I performed the same experiment but this time used the physical power switch to turn it off. When I turned the device back on, the battery was still almost fully charged. Therefore, the lesson learned here is: If you use the power BUTTON, you are actually putting the device to SLEEP even though it 'wakes up' in exactly the same way as if you had cold started the device. If you use the power SWITCH, you are actually cutting power to the device and thus saving your battery life. To anyone who buys this device, I therefore recommend always using the physical power switch when turning it off.5. Inexplicably, the unit must be turned on in order to charge, a point which is made nowhere in the owner's manual. I plugged it in to charge and the device turned on. I thought, no big deal, a lot of devices do this. So I verified the device was charging (the battery gauge shows progressing bars), turned it off and let it charge all day. At the end of the day I unplugged it, turned it on, and discovered that it had absorbed zero charge. The following day I repeated the process but didn't turn it off, and by the end of the day it had fully charged. So, yeah, you have to waste power and screen life by keeping it turned on any time you want to charge it. Fail.6. Oh, one more thing about charging... While you have the device plugged in (and turned on) to charge, the device will "sleep" on its own after awhile. I was never able to figure out exactly how long it took for "sleep mode" to kick in; I measured several periods of between 12 and 37 minutes so there's no consistency there. That's weird enough, but - you guessed it - when it goes to sleep, it STOPS CHARGING. So you need to poke it awake every now and then to keep it charging. Except sometimes, without ANY intervention, it will wake itself up (complete with iView boot screen) and continue charging. Until it decides to go to sleep again.The buttons themselves are very hard to press. I found myself wondering if this was by design, making accidental button presses while reading more difficult, but then I compared it to a friend's Kindle and decided it was just poor quality switches in the buttons. There also isn't much in the way of tactile feel, which is to say you'll be looking at the buttons in order to press them rather than identifying them by feel. I had no problems jumping from page to page or chapter to chapter; the response time, once the button is pressed, is fine.The user interface could have been a redeeming virtue for this reader; alas, it is as poorly conceived as the rest of it. The opening menu gives you eight options; Browser History (gives you a list of recently accessed files), eBook (EPUB, PDF, TXT, FB2, PDB, and HTML files; also Adobe DRM and EPUB DRM files), Music (MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, and OGG files), Video (AVI, RMVB, and MPEG2 files), Photo (JPG, BMP, PNG, and GIF files), Record (accesses a voice recorder), Explorer (a lightweight file manager), and Settings (date/time, language, screen brightness, etc). Every menu page can be navigated through the directional buttons and "M" button, or by using the numbered buttons on the left side of the unit. As I said previously, this gives you a total of four ways to navigate through the menus which is, IMO, unnecessarily complicated. Read more ›
