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

Pocketbook doesn't need KOReader
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

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

Kobo vs Boox vs Pocketbook
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

Android ereader or simple one, and is it true that Android is lagging and slower after a short time of using?
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

Looking for e-ink reader (7–8 inch) for manga reading – need advice!
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
