Inkpad 4 - not happy

I own a InkPad 4 and honestly I love it, but the main reason I bought it was because I knew I’d be using Koreader on it. Like you, I feel the same about the built-in reading software, it’s quite sluggish. So yeah, I’d definitely recommend Koreader. The really nice thing about using it on a Pocketboo

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

I'm in love with this thing 😍

First I had a very small Sony (c 4”) that I mostly used to read fanfic. It used PRC files. Was a great little system to read everywhere. But prc files became rare and epub/mobi took the lead and the Sony was not so useful. Then I briefly had a Kindle 2 still with keyboard, but I gave it away because

I need a 7-8" BW ereader with buttons. Suggestions?

I have the Era & the 8" Carta 1200 PocketBook InkPad 4. Both are decent devices, the screen on both is fine. The Era now is my most favourite device, but I still use my InkPad 4 for manga (bigger screen). I said fine because I could in the past compare my InkPad 4 to a Carta 1300 sunken screen Kobo

All the Ereaders I want to buy are sold out!

The Sage appears to be completely discontinued; it's been out of stock for months everywhere. Have a look at the PocketBook InkPad 4. It's an 8 inch black and white 300 ppi reader with physical page buttons like the Sage. Effortless sideloading just like Kobo, it even has an email-to-device function

E-reader recommendations

Consider also PocketBook Era or InkPad 4. They allow uploading books using USB and File Explorer, or with internet options. They are a bit slow though.

New e-reader recs, best for side loading

Ereaders don't get released every year like phones, so new is very relative. 6'' Kobo Clara BW (or 6'' PocketBook Verse Pro if you are willing to accept a lower contrast), 7'' PocketBook Era, 8'' PocketBook InkPad 4 or 8'' Kobo Sage are I would say your options if you want a non-Android black & whit

How slow is a PB?

Thousands and thousands of people don't have problems with their PocketBooks. What you are reading are posts from singular people who complain that PocketBooks are not as snappy as their phones. But I also have to tell you that they are not the fastest devices out there, I e.g. have also a Kobo Clar

Deciding between getting a Kobo or a PocketBook, curious to hear about user experiences

As somebody that started with PocketBooks not that long ago, the only thing I can tell you is that I have the feeling that I have full control over my device & my books, compared to what I read about Kindle. And additionally less hassle than on a Kobo (no kepub > epub conversion and messing with Kob

Da li neko čita knjige preko e-reader?

Supruga koristi Tolino i zadovoljna je njime, ja koristim PocketBook InkPad 4, zato što ima veći ekran nego Tolino i lakše mogu da prebacim knjige na njega.
