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

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

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

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

KOreader Performance on Pocketbook vs Kobo

If you're concerned about the performance, it makes sense to consider Onyx Boox Go Color 7 (Gen II). I have the B&W version of this device and PocketBook InkPad Color 3. I use them both with KOReader. While PocketBook is a much better device for reading regular books (it feels much more polished and

PocketBook Era 700 - Review after 1 month - AMA

Thanks for the detailed review. I like my PocketBooks as well. I have a PocketBook Color and the first InkPad Color that came out and both take a micro SD card which is a feature that is important to me in e-readers since I have a huge collection of books already. I like the Pocketbooks for the long

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

The only thing I can tell you is that Kobo 100% has the faster OS (on the other hand is my Kobo Clara slow to boot from off state, takes double the time, my InkPad needs 11 seconds), but PocketBook is faster and has more options when reading PDF and cbz (I tested both side by side: PDF was a science
