An e-book is a convenient, but often expensive device that allows you to store books in electronic format and read them from the screen at any convenient place. Some devices allow you to listen to music and watch videos. To save money, you can buy an e-book hand-held, but before buying, you should pay attention to certain details.
Device search
Look for an e-book on popular websites selling things. Among such resources, one can mention "From hand to hand" and AVITO, which have a large number of users who daily put up various equipment for auction. Go to the electronics sales section on the resource using the list of sections or the search bar.
Study the offers that are presented on the site. Among the list of possible options, you can see both new, which have not even been used yet, as well as used products. Carefully study each position presented, consider in detail all the photos.
Choose a few of the devices you like best. When studying the proposed options, pay special attention to the presence of scuffs on the case, the declared equipment of the device (the presence of packaging and a charger) and the owner's comments.
Some users may sell broken e-books that need repair. Prices for such items are much lower.
Conversation with the seller
Having chosen the desired device, contact the seller through the appropriate form on the website, e-mail or by calling the specified phone number. Discuss the details of the order, ask for more details about the e-book and its status. Try to find out the conditions under which the machine was used. Ask for warranty availability. If the conditions put forward by the seller suit you, make an appointment where you can study the device in detail.
Pick up and purchase
When meeting with the seller, carefully examine the product. If you buy a device with a regular display, check for scratches and scuff marks, dropped marks, and serious damage. Pay attention to the screen of the device.
Read reviews on the Internet before buying. Try to find out what breakdowns most often happen with the device in order to determine the weak points of the device and pay attention to them when buying.
Start the machine and ask the owner to download any book for you. Look at the quality of the display. If the screen functions well, all letters will be clearly displayed on the screen. The buttons will be pressed firmly and the display will respond quickly.
Check the package contents of the device. If everything suits you, you can start paying for the purchase by agreement with the seller. After completing the transaction, save the seller's contacts so that in case of problems you can contact him for consultation.
