Smartphone-less set-up at work

PocketBook InkPad Color 3. Colors aren't vibrant, they look like printed on a newspaper, but it allows me to read comics on the go and that's enough for me. It weights more than other ereaders, tho, so it's really unpleasant to have it fall on one's face when reading in bed.

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

Viwoods e reader colour.

If you need colour for images, then perhaps. If you read mostly text, then stick to black and white. I have a PocketBook InkPad Colour 3. The colour screen is alright, but black and white eReaders are just much better for reading at the current state of eInk technology.

Choosing my first pb

This gets a bit complicated, especially If you never had used a colour and a black & white ereader. And especially because returning a device will just cause hassles I guess. You should first decide if you want a colour ereader or a black and white one. This is not just about colour yes/no. The only

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

I absolutely love the integration of Koreader with Pocketbook.

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.

Black & White vs Color Screens

There are some real differences, but it really comes down to preference. Color PocketBooks (like the InkPad Color 3) use E Ink Kaleido tech, which layers a color filter on top of the screen. That means that the color mode will have lower resolution and be more muted, rather than bright like an OLED

Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 or something else?

You should be hesitant with colour ereaders (I have none and won't buy one anytime soon), but in the end only you can decide for yourself if the drawbacks are worth it (no matter what other people say). Unluckily eink is very dfferent from everything else, people have very dfferent opinions about it
