Welcher E-Reader für Freundin?

Ich hab mir eine Pocketbook geholt, weil ich nich nicht mehr von Amazon abhängig sein wollte und ich auch die Sortierung ziemlich scheiße fand. Jetzt nutze ich das Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Einziges Makel.. Die Knöpfe am Kindle Oasis fand ich besser platziert.

I want to buy a 7" color eReader

I got the PocketBook Inkpad Color 3 a few weeks ago and its been the most amazing thing ever! Color looks great from what I've used although darker colors like purples and blues are obviously very muted. The battery holds really steady which I love. Additionally, I found that as long as you have a U

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

My kid asked for color ereader (Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook) ?

As a reader of comics and an ereader collector, a 7” reader is really too small. If you really want to get him a color e-ink device I recommend the Pocketbook InkPad Color 3. It’s 8” and a dedicated ereader so you don’t have to worry about Android apps and distractions. I still think e-ink isn’t qui

Pocketbook vs Kobo & Kindle

I own a Pocketbook Inkpad Color 3 and I love my device. I had in the past Kindle for many years and my wife has a Kobo, so I know other brands very well. Pocketbook devices have good quality and the software works without problems. The best thing is that with the Pocketbook app you can sync your boo

Pocketbook doesn't need KOReader

I tried KOreader on my InkPad Color 3. I removed it after a couple of hours. I thought I was one of those readers that doesn’t find value in the customisation it offers. I didn’t really like the extensive settings menu. For me, the PB native reading app is perfect. After a while I tried it on my sma

Which PocketBook model is best for children?

For reading for my daughter (she can't read by herself yet) I use InkPad Color 3, it's good because it's something like 8 inches and color. So you can read children books in different fixed formats with images, like pdfs, and everything will be readable. For children who already read by themselves,

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

Recommendations

+1 to pocketbooks, had 3 so far (currently I'm rolling InkPad Color 3) and they're by wide margin best readers I used. Wish they'd still had an SD card slot but oh well.

Pocketbook doesn't need KOReader

I strongly agree. I tried Koreader in my Pocketbook Inkpad Color 3 and I uninstalled it almost instantly. I prefer the simplicity of the vanilla software and it works good enough for me in most books.
