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

What features would you want PocketBook to improve or add next?

Faster hardware would make me upgrade. I mean all e-ink is slow, but Pocketbook is on the slow side even then. More frequent software updates would be good. I just looked at the 6.10 releases (the one with the Pocketbook x Libby app): the first device got 6.10 in August 2025, and the last device (so

Is anyone actually using an SD card?

I almost exclusively read Manga and I "only" have 32gb build in without a SD card slot, which is unfortunately not enough. It is cheap for manufacturers to build in and I can't understand they don't give this flexibility to users tbh. I'm using a PocketBook InkPad Color 3.

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

Buying e-reader for the first time

If you plan on reading manga I would skip the color version. I’ve had the InkPad color 3 and ended up returning. I still have a pocketbook InkPad 3 and the screen is still better for reading manga. Color is nice but unless you really need it I would skip it. The screen is darker and it’s not as shar

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

Pocketbook InkPad 3 - issues with breaking? past experiences?

A mi Pocketbook, InkPad color 3, también se le rompió la pantalla sin ningún golpe. Está en garantía todavía, pero su servicio técnico quiere cobrarme 180 euros por cambiarla. Solución: por menos dinero, me he comprado un ereader de otra marca. Nunca más compraré nada de la marca PocketBook porque e

Pocketbook Inkpad 4 vs. Pocketbook Inkpad Color 3: How to Chose?

Thanks for the answer :) I agree about the Kaleido screens, I have an InkPad Color 3 that I plan to return. I don't like how dark it looks with the frontlight turned off. Do you also read single column PDFs, say textbooks or something on it? I have been eyeing the Boox Go 7 as well but I suppose it
