kobo OR pocketbook OR onyx boox ? :)

8" InkPad 4. For manga applies the bigger the better, I use it daily for reading manga. Even bigger devices would get less handy and you would have to look into Android ereaders (of which there are a couple out there). The colour tech unluckily has disadvantages for colour content, for manga (and bo

Recommendation for a first ereader.

Good PDF support, colour for comics and good experience = large and expensive. Can’t really get around that. Something in the 7’’ would be a compromise that does PDFs and comics within that budget (Kobo Libra Colour, Boox Go 7 Colour Gen II), but “good experience” would be very, very subjective. I w

Pocketbook Inkpad One Questions

In actual use, so when reading an epub/PDF, I would not call PocketBooks sluggish. It's more (or can be) the overall usage. And while e.g. Kobos are definetly faster in epubs, at least compared to a Kobo Clara BW (and way faster via kepub-conversion), PocketBooks are double as fast in PDF compared t

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

Moving from 623 to Inkpad Color or Verse color?

The question colour or not can only be answered by yourself, and you already did it. If you are willing to accept the disadvantages, try it out. Even if you find people who agree that it's worth switching to colour, you could be disappointed, and even when I tell you I would never buy a colour devic

Help me, im new and need to decide between pocketbook and kobo

You should also seriously look at the 8'' PocketBook InkPad Color 3. I know your decision is likely because of the design of the Era, but every inch more is better for reading manga/comics. Manual zooming is in no way e.g. comparable to a phone or tablet (even when you can use similar gestures on Po

Got a B751C S to replace my Kobo : pretty disapointed

PocketBook are the worst ereaders for manga. no right to left mode no double page spreads management zoom is so slow you cannot use it I had the Inkpad Colour 3 and it was just bad for this use. And they don't even allow you to make notes with a stylus. The KLC is already 32Go which is nice and more

Simple question: it's PB better than Kobo? Why?

Both are solid choices for escaping Amazon's ecosystem, but here's the key difference: PocketBook runs on Linux and natively supports more formats out of the box (including EPUB, MOBI, PDF, DJVU, and many others) without conversion. Kobo is more restrictive with native formats but has excellent inte

New to Ereading, could you advice me to buy my first reader?

The PocketBook InkPad Color 3 is fantastic. I think it’d be a great fit for you. It has a large screen, sharp text, and you can adjust the brightness and the color tone. So you can reduce the blue light at night. It supports most ebook file formats, as well as audiobooks.

Best reader for reading news from various sources

If you want to stay with PocketBook, I’d go with the PocketBook InkPad 4 (or InkPad Color 3), the 7.8″ screen makes a big difference for reading news and long articles, and it handles multiple formats without conversion. It’s probably the best balance in their lineup right now.
