Foreword 

 

Thank  you  for  purchasing  this  ICARUS  Pocket  e-reader.  This  section  provides  an  overview  of  the 

ICARUS Pocket and highlights a few basic features so you can start reading as quickly as possible. 

The  Pocket  uses  a  high-resolution  display  technology  called  electronic  paper,  from  the  newest 

generation (E-Ink Pearl). It works using ink just like books and newspaper, but it  displays  the ink 

particles electronically. The page flash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement 

process.     

The electronic paper display is reflective, which means unlike most displays, you can read it clearly 

even  in  bright  sunlight.  Also,  electronic  paper  is  much  more  power  saving  than  traditional  LCD 

screens used in computers, as it does not require power to hold the ink in place. The result is that 

you can read thousands of pages on one charge. 

In this user manual we try to be as exhaustive as possible, but it is difficult to cover all aspects of 

ebook reading. If you have more questions, please visit our website 

www.icarusreader.com

 which 

has a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section with answers to common questions. Also you can 

ask a question directly to ICARUS via this website. 

We wish you a lot of reading pleasure with your new ICARUS Pocket.
