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

Best 7-8 inch B/W ereader on the market 2026?
It looks like you have a defective unit. Sometimes it happens with early batches. I've been using PocketBook InkPad Color 3 for ~2 years and am very happy with this device. I got it as a replacement for Kobo Libra Color, which had the issue with greenish backlight and software stability.

Help whit final decision
I can jump in with semi-useful advice. 😀I was also screening Pocketbook and Boox before I bought Pocketbook more than a year ago. I disqualified Boox because of the Android OS. All I need is to read my books and occasionally look up any word in the dictionary. So Pocketbook is awesome in that regard

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

So I just ordered the PB Era color, can you please tell me one thing I should know to start with based on your experience ? It's my first ereader ever !
congrats! You made a great choice! you can customise the buttons on the home screen! Just long press on them, or long press on the library icon to add a new button. If you don't want to use the PB store, you can remove it from your device and replace it with something else, like Klondike. If you hav

is PocketBook UI better than the one Kobo has?
if you get a Kobo, expect to convert all of your books that you want on it to kepub format, otherwise you'll be missing on a bunch of basic Kobo features. Library wise, PocketBook has much better customisation and browsing options than Kobo does. And I personally love the customisation that PocketBo

Which model do you think I should get?
The already mentioned 8" InkPad 3 Color would I gess be a good choice; thing is: while I am more or less strictly against colour devices if colours aren't needed, the moment you - I guess? - have a coloured chart, you may regret getting a b/w device. Alternatively the 7" Era Color, except you want t

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.

Which ereader has web browser
I prefer using PocketBook InkPad Color 3 more, because there are no distractions and it's a better device for reading.
