If you are looking for an eReader this Christmas, there is one from Europe - Pocketbook/Vivlio
I bought a PocketBook InkPad Color 3 a year ago and wanted to love it but it's a frustrating device. It is so insanely slow. Navigating menus to do anything other than turn pages in a book made me mad. Especially frustrating because other manufacturers manage to make their eReaders snappy. I switche

It's been an expensive 6 months since leaving Kindle
Growing up in school I hated reading. None of the required reading books ever did anything for me, so I rarely actually read them. But that all changed in 2011 when I got a Kindle Keyboard and found out I could read books that I actually liked. It's been wondering and I've been singing the praises o

Need help for my first ereader
The Inkpad will only be slower if you’re navigating menus, which I rarely do. I just read. And in-book, using the page turn buttons, I don’t really notice any lag. The positive is that it’s 7.8” as opposed to the others at 7”. Kindle doesn’t treat books sent or sideloaded the same as it does books f

PocketBook vs Kobo vs Kindle (real opinions only)
Kindle and Pocketbook Ease of use -> I want to say Kindle is easier to use but that's probably a bias since I started with Kindle first. Pocketbook isn't harder to use,just sometimes I have problems remembering what gestures get me where since Kindle is so deeply ingrained. I will say the filtering

Stuck between 2 devices
I say go with the InkPad Color 3. Even though it's the pricier model, I think it's worth it for the screen size and the specs.

Vision problems and e-readers
I've found Pocketbook e-readers easy on the eyes. I have InkPad color 3, verse pro color and wife has the era color. If you want any information on them. Little more expensive. Little bit more premium feel. Slightly slower hardware but for book reading you don't really notice. That comes in more if

Boox, please refresh the tab mini c with the SOC + BSR chip from the Note Air 5C
it cannot. it is two layers at minimum. the InkPad Color 3 does not have stylus support so it is probably using one of the displays you linked. perhaps Meebook bought up the last stock of that display, I don't know. but if it is the Tab Mini C display, even with updates the ghosting on it would be p

Android ereader or simple one, and is it true that Android is lagging and slower after a short time of using?
In real life main concer should be battery life. Air Note 3 Color compared to black and white conterparts is drained fast. If you read a lot you will see real difference. Slower = less powerful = typically longer battery life. For the most content RAM make difference on loading time. Even on old Ony

Looking for e-ink reader (7–8 inch) for manga reading – need advice!
I have been using PocketBook InkPad Color 3 for more than a year. The device is great, especially if you really need the color screen. Also, I have a newer and lighter Boox Go 7 with BW screen. PocketBook feels more consisted and polished device. Yes, it offers way less features than Boox and slower
