Likebook Mars 7.8inch Android 6.0 E-ink Tablet

I just recently bought this Likebook Mars and thought I would do a little review. I've had a few hiccups and a few joys. I use it mainly to read Bible software, which it runs Android software that's text-based really, really well, and I have enjoyed that very much. Now here's the different ways you can change the light on and off. This is actually filming outside, so you can't see the light come on and off, but there's a blue light and there's a yellow light, and it's brilliant inside and outside. It's absolutely fantastic screen. The Wi-Fi comes on and off really fast, and is— when it's off, obviously use less battery, but when it's on, it's as fast as your phone. Here's the various apps that I have on here, and I thought I would just show you the first little hiccup that I had in the Android software. This is the general Android software actually that just just like on your phone or tablet. It does all the same stuff. But now I'm going to go into the software of the actual device that it comes with to show you. One time I got locked in Chinese and I couldn't figure out what to do to get it back into English. So I went and I loaded up the user settings, which you can see it down here on the bottom row. And, uh, once my finger finds it, there it is. And then you go into device settings. So if this happens to you, Go into device settings. It's the same place on the Chinese text. And then language settings, English. Okay, all of those things are in the same place, they're just in Chinese. So if you watch that bit again, you'll be able to follow through the device settings to the language, to the English, and be able to change it across. And then you'll be able to see where you are. Um, this is where you do your app settings and you can look at various things. Now, enable Google Framework, which you've just seen me do there. That I had to do in order to load the Play Store. So if you want to use your Google Play Store, you'll have to do that as well. So those two things took me a few hours to figure out, but once I figured them out, I was able to use, um, pretty much all the apps that I wanted to use. Um, it is an e-ink screen, so you're not going to be, um, watching movies or anything like that, but reading books, reading software, reading Kindle— it works beautiful with Kindle. Um, here comes Kindle now. I've just tapped it. You see it does load slow the first time, but once it's loaded up, it's fast. It's very clear. Your store works just like— and your library works just like Kindle on the Kindle device. You do see it flashing a little bit like that. That's just it redrawing. On a Kindle app, obviously the Kindle is— I'm sorry, on an actual Kindle, it's designed to not flash on and off like that, but this is trying to run it as if it's on a tablet. So here's the various books. Now what I'm doing is I'm just gonna show you, kind of flip through my library, but when you go to load up a book, if you're not on your Wi-Fi, obviously it's gonna tell you that it can't load it up because you're on the Wi-Fi. So here I try it, says no internet connection. So let me show you how fast this happens. You go up to the top. Well, first time this is showing you all you need— the cloud's not working. So you go up to the top, you load this up, you switch across there, Then you turn on your Wi-Fi. Once you've turned your Wi-Fi on, you see it light up. Go back to your book list just by tapping on the book list. Oh, this also, it's always trying to update, but the update's broken. It won't actually install, so hopefully they'll fix that soon. There it is again, because I went onto Wi-Fi, so now it's constantly trying to download that. Unfortunately, that update must work in China, but it doesn't work in Australia. So now look, it's downloading the book, and you'll see down the bottom there the little download bar as it starts to download the book. Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. And I am outside, so I'm not close to my Wi-Fi router, but that's pretty good. And there's your book. Now I'll just show you a bit of how Kindle works. You can just tap and it'll change pages, zoom through the book like that. Yeah, and then here we go, turning the page. Turn page or tap turn, tap turn the other way, make the text smaller. It's actually very readable, 300 dots per inch. Out in the sun, it, it's just beautiful. It's like reading a real book, just like on your Kindle if you're familiar with an e-ink screen. There's nothing like reading on an e-ink screen. Mobile phone makes my eyes sore. Tablet makes my eyes sore, but e-ink tablet doesn't make my eyes sore at all. I really love it. And you can also change the font this way, the size as well as the various fonts that Kindle has, which is good. The reader that comes on this device doesn't have very many font choices, but having the Kindle app is, is great. Here's Instapaper. Instapaper is something if you use it, you know what it is. If you don't, you flip websites to it, it converts it to raw text, and then you can look at it on whatever device you want later. It just, um, it doesn't need the Wi-Fi. So there you can see it looks just like a book, and it's fantastic. Anytime you load up your Instapaper, it's got all of the documents that you've been flicking to Instapaper over the last few days. I'm just playing with the A2 resolution changer. Basically what it does is it helps the redraw. But on this tablet, the redraw is so good, with it or without it, you can see a bit of ghosting behind that picture. If you turn it off, so this is supposed to be more ghosting, I actually find less ghosting when you use the standard redraw. So it's very readable, very good on the eye. Let's have a look here. Turn the Wi-Fi back off so we stop getting the Chinese people trying to send us stuff. So yeah, I would highly recommend the Likebook Mars 7.8-inch 6.0 Android e-reader.
