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

I have the opposite experience. I have a Kobo Libra 2 and a Pocketbook Inkpad Colour 3. I never understood the Koreader hype when I only had the Kobo. Pocketbook for me is unusable with its stock UI. I was actually going to sell it before putting Koreader on it. Bizarrely it’s super sluggish if you

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

I'm really enjoying the Kobo Libra Colour. I had a Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition, traded that in with Amazon to get the Kindle Scribe and found I never used it and it was just too big for ereading. I really wanted a color e-ink to start reading some children's books with my kid and decided I n

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

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

In real life main concer should be battery life. Air Note 3 Color compared to black and white conterparts is drained fast. If you read a lot you will see real difference. Slower = less powerful = typically longer battery life. For the most content RAM make difference on loading time. Even on old Ony

I have been using PocketBook InkPad Color 3 for more than a year. The device is great, especially if you really need the color screen. Also, I have a newer and lighter Boox Go 7 with BW screen. PocketBook feels more consisted and polished device. Yes, it offers way less features than Boox and slower

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

I have both a Kobo Libra Colour and a PocketBook Inkpad Color and without Koreader, I feel the PocketBook would almost be unusable. The native UI is so so slow. Thankfully, koreader makes it usable.
