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

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

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

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

Erfahrungen mit Tolino / Kobo

Ich nutze seit geraumer Zeit, auch als meinen ersten E-Reader, einen von Pocketbook. Schau dir sonst doch mal das Pocketbook Verse 8 an, ich finde die Software sehr angenehm zu bedienen und Sie entspricht deinen Anforderungen. Edit: Ich nutze das Pocketbook InkPad Color 3, sprich die Erfahrungen sin

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.
