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

Color e-reader recs for manga/comics?

I feel that for manga and comics, the larger the e-reader, the better the experience. Wanting a color reader makes that harder and more expensive. My pick here would be the Pocketbook InkPad Color 3. I have been using their InkPad models for years now and have been happy with them overall.

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,

What e-reader should I get

What format is the sheet music in? Pocketbook devices are compatible with more file formats than most other ereaders. The Inkpad 3 Color might be just the ticket. It’s 7.8”. Do you think that size will work for what you need?

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 InkPad Color 3 or something else?

Maybe... the InkPad Color 3? Or the InkPad Color... 3 😅 Unluckily outside of Android ereaders (which have worse battery performance, but are more versatile) there isn't anything else I know of. You can go down to 7" (Kobo Libra 2 - but for comics applies the bigger, the better) or sacrifice battery

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.

Looking for new e-reader. Confused with all advices. NOT KINDLE

I use my Kobo signed out and permanently offline. That way when I open my KLC, it goes right to my library and I don't have to click off a shop page with recommendations. Tolino are just rebanded Kobos, with the Kobo shop removed, and the Tolino Alliance added. Tolino Alliance lets you pick your boo

Looking for a new 8” eReader

Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 or Boox Tab Mini C, depending on whether you want a full Android tablet or not, both 7.8 inch color. I would normally suggest the Kobo Sage as the most direct replacement for the Forma, but it's black and white and seems to be entirely discontinued anyway.

InkPad Color 3 or Kindle Colorsoft?

I own InkPad Color 3 for almost a year. It's a great device, especially if you are going to sideload books from your computer using Calibre, KOReader, and the Wi-Fi connection. As for other aspects, it's a bit heavier than regular 7" readers, but that extra inch worth it.
