I am looking forward to receiving the BeBook Letto next week that I ordered from Adlibris for 1495 SEK. A very good deal indeed. This was one of the best reviews of the BeBook I have ever read. Nice work!

Hi Johan,

Could you please upload more screen shot for your Bebook?
I am more concern about the result while reading those network diagram from Cisco pdf.

Appreciate. Thanks!

@Dave
Hi Dave,
The BeBook is identical to the Hanlin V3. The accessories included can be different. I haven’t followed up on prices, but a year ago the BeBook was (including shipping costs) slightly cheaper than the Hanlin V3 for me. Live in Belgium, ordered it in The Netherlands. So, it is possible that the Hanlin V3 is cheaper, just make sure the same accessories are included, and it can also depend on where you live.
Cheers,
Johan

Hello Johan,

I found your review of BeBook useful and illuminating – your requirements are pretty much mine (out-of-copyright books and manuals etc.).

My question is “Do you know the precise nature of the relationship of BeBook and Hanlin V3 – I have seen claims that they are the same thing but the Hanlin is much cheaper!

Regards,

Dave

Hi Shay,

A goto function (as in go to page …) is available, in some ebooks the table of contents is usable, but there is no search function. The BeBook/Hanlin doesn’t come with an alphanumeric keyboard, only a numeric.
I haven’t tried OpenInkpot yet. The first months I experimented a lot with my BeBook, but nowadays I only use it to … read ebooks. I haven’t updated the firmware in 6 months. It just works.

Hi, I’m looking at the Hanlin V3 but was curious about whether there’s a goto or some sort of search function available on the device?

And have you tried using the alternative firmware by OpenInkpot?

@Pawel_L Thanks Pawel. The site you've mentioned proves to be very useful. When I wrote this article I had only tried the table of contents of 2 MOBI ebooks and they were not usable. Meanwhile I have more MOBI ebooks and a majority have usable table of contents. So I stand corrected.
