Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
We have designed the BookBox from the ground up to be the perfect eBook reader. From the moment you pick it up, you will notice how comfortably it sits in your hand, thanks to the weight distribution and rubber style finish. It's when you hit the power button, however, that the eBook really stands out from the crowd. The 5 inch extra-bright, high resolution display is perfect for reading whether you are in bright sunlight or in a dark bedroom. If you prefer you can change the background and the text colours to whatever suits your eyes best. The BookBox supports Adobe DRM eBooks which are available from book retailers around the world. In addition, you can view magazines, newspapers, catalogues, user manuals, receipes, bus timtables and work presentations. The options are endless.
The BookBox isn't exactly exclusively for book fans though. The full colour display is perfect for watching your favourite movies and storing or viewing your photo collection. If you want to give your eyes a break, just pop in headphones and listen to your music collection, or have it playing in the background as you read.
Ease of use is key with the BookBox. Content couldn't be easier to add. Simply connect the BookBox via the supplied USB cable to your PC and drag and drop your eBooks, videos, photos and MP3s.

I wish I had bought my view quest book box a long time ago, a superb e reader, lightweight, easy to use, slips into pockets and most handbags, battery life is excellent. No more heavy books to hold / pack, I would be lost without it. The music quality is on par with my ipod, and means I only have one item to carry. Excellent value for money, excellent product, does exactly what it says it does. The cut off for power is brilliant and can be changed to suit your requirements. I cannot fault this product.

This is fantastic, I bought this yesterday and got it all set up which was easy to do. If you need it there is also the user guide installed on the device as well as a paper copy.
I only have a small memory card at the moment so filled with a few things to test out the quality of the different features.
The e-books that it holds are fine and work great as does downloading and installed Adobe Digital Additions (if this is not on the device it is easy enough to download and install through the Adobe website). I downloaded my first two e-books using WHSmiths, they use the epub format and downloaded to Adobe with no hassel once I got the second email and then copy then successfully to the internal memory on the device.
I also like that if you want to while reading you can listen to music on the device.
Secondly I have added some music videos that I have and the sound and quality of the video is fantastic, some videos were slightly shrunk due to me changing the file format but on choosing to view in 'full screen' it made no difference to the quality of the video.
I have also added music to the memory card as well and the sound quality of this is fantastic and also shows the album artwork if you have that added to the song information.
The only one that I have not tried out is the photo but going by the album artwork that I have on my songs and also the artwork of the books I am inclined to say that this will also be of top quality.
I find I tend to get eye strain looking at screens and have had no issue but it is very easy to alter the brightness and the colours that you would be more comfortable reading with.
All in all a highly recommended device that would suit those wanting more than just what the Kindle and Sony offer.

I'd spent ages carrying books around with me on the tube as well as squinting at the small screen on my iPod watching films or tv programmes. I'd always wanted to have something that I could happily watch a film on or an ebook reader which wasn't going to cost me hundreds of pounds. And then I found this. It does the job just right. I mainly use mine for watching things on, and it's great quality, a few presses of the button and even on full screen it is amazing quality. I wish I'd bought this earlier!!
