Insdream SX601 – a Kindle look-alike e-Book reader


Insdream SX601 is an e-Book reader that looks pretty much alike the Amazon Kindle. It also features a 6-inch display, but instead of the usual E-ink display, it’s opted for a 16-greyscale-level DSTN panel.


Insdream claims the benefit of their DSTN panel is faster refresh times with the same power efficiency as an E-Ink panel. But it has reduced contrast while compared to E-Ink and is unsuitable to be used in low-light conditions. The Insdream e-Book reader does not have wireless connectivity, so the users have to rely on using USB drives or memory cards to load and unload files.

The Insdream reader supports formats include TXT, HTML, PDF, EPUB, PDB, FB2, CHM, RTF,TCR, OEB and OpenReader. The battery can last for two weeks on regular reading. It also has landscape and portrait modes, which can be switched by a button-push. Other goodies include MP3 player, text-to-speech in English and Mandarin, a calendar, image viewer, calculator and search functionality. You can also keep your own digital diary on this device, which Insdream calls the feature as “Blog”.
