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

Is this how the Kobo Libra Color is supposed to look…? It’s difficult to even read these covers, and the last page has odd shadows. (New to ereaders)

You might try watching this video from My Deep Guide, E-Ink Screens for Beginners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RQyAz5Qc-s I think it's easier to see than to explain, but I'll try. E-ink is opaque, there's no light getting through that layer. Kaleido works by putting tiny little colored shutters

Things that help me, and I'm also a "devourer", at around 75-120 books yearly: SCREEN SIZE: I'd suggest 7" minimum, UNLESS your mom has trouble with arthritis or holding things, in which case, that might be too much for her. Ideally, you want a device that allows for rea

First purchase

If you're set on a 7 inch B&W reader, you might like the PocketBook Era. They also have the 6 inch Verse Pro and 8 inch InkPad 4, and color versions of all 3 sizes as well. But if you're using it to read books and not comics, color e-ink is objectively a worse experience. I like PocketBook's softwar

Tolino that can read cbz and cbr for Mangas

Tolino switched on their newest devices to a complete new software (it is actually just the software that the manufacturer of their devices - Kobo - is using, just slightly modified). The Epos still uses the old software, the Vision Color & both Shines use the new (Kobo) one. The new software is als

Tired of iPad Eye Strain – Best eReader Alternatives?

Are you just reading or also looking to take notes? If just reading, I'd consider the Kindle Scribe - there's a color version due to be released... soon? There's also the Pocketbook InkPad Eo but I don't know a whole lot about it, other than Pocketbook generally has a good rep for decent quality dev
