Чому я обрав Linux, а не Android: огляд PocketBook Era 700 (спроба №2)

Привіт, це моя друга спроба зробити огляд (дякую спільноті, врахував помилки першої версії). Хочу розповісти про свою читалку PocketBook Era 700 (чорно-біла версія) і пояснити, чому, на мою думку, це найкраща E-Ink книга на сьогоднішній день. Почну з приємного факту: компанія PocketBook була заснова

FIGHT ME FRIDAY

it's a terrible error because EVERYONE has caught it. this is not like a bad run of books with pages out of order (very common in the pocket paper book era) or a spelling error /obscure grammatical error. i rarely agree with the "they need better editors" complaints as the people making those claims

What are the best E-readers?

Kindle and Kobo are the main two most established brands of the space. The former generally tend to be a bit better built and less buggy, and supports some great QoL features like syncing across devices for sideloaded content and send-to-Kindle. Kindle books can only be read on the Kindle device or

My first ereader

So glad to see more people trying Pocketbook eReaders. I have been preaching their greatness for years now. Can't understand why they aren't more popular with the ease of how to put any books on it at all. No ads. I think they're great. I have had about all of them but now I am down to the Era and t

pocketbook verse (pro) vs clara bw vs other recs?

Verse Lite is just a worse Verse, just forget about it (smaller battery, no buttons, no SD card slot, no warm colour temperature, also not waterproof - as the standard Verse isn't). Portablility: all devices in discussion are 6" devices, there's no difference in portability (Kobo Clara BW is slightl

PLEASE give me a big "yes" or a big "no" on some of the devices I'm considering

As someone who’s used Kindles, Pocketbook and is now on a Kobo I’d take a closer look at Pocketbook over Kobo. It is really the most flexible with file formats, it can actually run pdf’s and epubs with no issue. Kobo is technically “”compatible”” with epub for example, but it’s pretty much required

Kobo vs. Boox vs. Pocketbook for a majority Libby reader

The Android ereaders are cool because you can download any app that’s on the Play Store including Libby. Other than that though, I find them lacking in many other ways such as battery life and overall UI (my opinion). I got a Pocketbook Era and love it. Easy to side load books via the cloud and it d

Can I live with the Paperwhite or should go for the Pocketbook Era

I've spent the last 2 months testing multiple ereaders, with Pocketbook Era (both color and BW) and the Kindle Signature Edition being the main candidates. Screen quality - I had to change my Era 3 times to arrive at an acceptable quality unit. The screen is sidelid, meaning there will be a gradient

Why do you like buttons?

Many reasons actually: Makes the ereader easier to hold because there is a lot of space around the buttons. I have the PocketBook Era 700 I can do it with one hand I don't have to move my hand or fingers to change a page, just click My screen remains very clean and I don't have to move my finger ove
