iReader Ocean 2 - English

A 2 GHz dual-core processor powers the device which iReader said allows for 17 percent faster page-turning speeds. Onboard storage options include 32 GB and 64 GB of high-speed LPDDR4 memory. Keeping the lights on is an 1800 mAh battery which provides for 72 hours of reading time. For transferring content, the device supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The e-reader runs the Android operating system.

The biggest change though is the design which is completely new in that there isn’t the thick lower chin as on the previous model. Rather, there is the thick spine on the right which hosts two physical buttons for page up and down functionality. That said, the button can also be customized to function as a return and global refresh button as well. The bezels on the remaining three sides are quite thin, measuring just 5.8 mm, and make a stark contrast to the spine which, in comparison, is significantly thicker.

The e-reader sports a soft touch feel while the asymmetrical design – the spine is thicker than the rest of the body – allows for ease in one-handed operation. The Ocean 2 measures just 3.5 mm in thickness and tips the scales at 170 grams.
