Appearance of the device, the manufacturer decided not to “supply” excesses and make it similar to the traditional look of the tablet. TB from Texet has a restrained minimalistic design, presented in the vast majority of cases in classic colors - black, white. In some variations, it can be “diluted” with the material of one of the surface of the accessory, which differs in structure from the rest of the body.
The latest models of the device, in addition to the large power button, have buttons for turning over electronic pages and a button that allows you to return to the previous action located on the front panel, and in some cases on both sides of the display. This fact significantly increases the usability of the device. The thoughtful design detail mentioned allows the reader to control the book without changing the position of the brush. The volume control in the vast majority of models of electronic devices is traditionally located on the side panel.
In general, the "virtual" reader teXet:
- looks “expensive”;
- qualitatively, in the absence of various backlashes, slots, and so on;
- Considering compactness, it is convenient for holding it in the hand during long reading;
- It has the necessary function buttons located in the area accessible to the user.
The display quality of Texet products varies from the particular model selected. Budget options are equipped with a standard touch screen with a TFT - matrix, usually implying a minimum viewing angle and a small margin of brightness of the device. Books from the price category “above average” have a large screen (7-8 inches) made in high-resolution E-Ink technology. This property allows the electronic device to be on par with paper media in terms of high comfort during use for human eyes.
In turn, most of the flagship models of the device, in addition to having a wide range of the possible degree of brightness of the display, provide the opportunity to adjust it by choosing an automatic level depending on the surrounding light reader.
Touch control of the screen reader is also designed to create maximum comfort in using the e-book reader. The manufacturer introduced the multi-touch function in the base gadget models, supporting up to 5 simultaneous touches. The susceptibility of teXet product screens is not satisfactory among leading users of books of this kind.
The management of electronic books produced by teXet is extremely simple and clear even to a novice user. After downloading the necessary content to the device used, depending on the model chosen by the buyer, it is advisable to contact the “File Manager” or “Library”. These sections contain information about all files available on the device. The interface of most gadgets implies a list of books, consisting of their covers in miniature, or a standard listing of titles with a list.
To start reading, the user must click on the necessary file and wait for it to open on the electronic device. To turn pages, accompanied by volumetric animation on the device screen, return to the menu, undo the last action, and so on, you can use:
- specially designed buttons "go to the next sheet" located on the gadget panel;
- touch “tap-zones” (right / left side of the display);
- directed "slides" (page shifts in the necessary direction).
Top models of the “premium” price category are equipped with a function of automatic transition to the next page at a predetermined interval. In addition to the mentioned well-thought-out features, for the convenience of using the gadget by the user, the manufacturer provides him with the opportunity to independently choose the size, type and color of the font or background "surface". Moreover, by clicking on the corresponding section, there is the option of “fast moving” to a given page, bookmark, and even “reading additional facts” about a loaded literary work.
Most e-book models produced by the Russian brand are equipped with 4 GB of memory. For buyers who are looking for goods of the segment in question, for the “debut” use of the standard volume will be enough.

Despite the additional opportunities provided by the manufacturer for using the electronic gadget, most of its “readers” store their photos and videos on smartphones or desktop computers, laptops.
However, if there is an urgent need for a significant increase in the amount of content downloaded to the device, the user can turn to the use of a memory card. Many models of e-books, regardless of price category, have a separate slot designed for cards with a memory capacity of up to 32 GB.The digital characteristic obtained as a result of simple manipulations provides the ability to store, transfer, play files of various formats for all family members.
Considering the device’s internal RAM, which reflects the “speed” of executing commands with an e-book, the buyer will receive an average, traditional for most portable devices, 512 MB. This indicator allows you to avoid all kinds of "glitches", "braking" processes while minimizing battery consumption during direct operation of the gadget.
The Russian manufacturer of electronic books, which occupies a leading position in the electronics market, in order to maintain its “image” of an advanced company, provides products with additional properties. In addition to the traditional purpose of the gadget - reading text file formats, a user, acquiring modern top models of books for "virtual" reading, can:
- store and play multimedia files (photos, videos, pictures that meet the required standard);
- connect to the Internet through the built-in browser (if you have a Wi-Fi module or a separate SIM card slot that "distributes" mobile Internet);
- record audio on the built-in recorder;
- manage messages in mobile mail through the standard gadget application provided by the manufacturer;
