Welcher E-Reader für Freundin?

Ich hab mir eine Pocketbook geholt, weil ich nich nicht mehr von Amazon abhängig sein wollte und ich auch die Sortierung ziemlich scheiße fand. Jetzt nutze ich das Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Einziges Makel.. Die Knöpfe am Kindle Oasis fand ich besser platziert.

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 inkpad color

Is it the first version? You don’t mention a number so I suspect it is. I have the Inkpad color 3 and I like it quite a bit. The 8” size is better then 7” reader like the Colorsoft and Kobo Libra Colour for comics. I think it may be on larger side for travel but if you have the room, go for it. That

What features would you want PocketBook to improve or add next?

Faster hardware would make me upgrade. I mean all e-ink is slow, but Pocketbook is on the slow side even then. More frequent software updates would be good. I just looked at the 6.10 releases (the one with the Pocketbook x Libby app): the first device got 6.10 in August 2025, and the last device (so

Is anyone actually using an SD card?

I almost exclusively read Manga and I "only" have 32gb build in without a SD card slot, which is unfortunately not enough. It is cheap for manufacturers to build in and I can't understand they don't give this flexibility to users tbh. I'm using a PocketBook InkPad Color 3.

I want to buy a 7" color eReader

I got the PocketBook Inkpad Color 3 a few weeks ago and its been the most amazing thing ever! Color looks great from what I've used although darker colors like purples and blues are obviously very muted. The battery holds really steady which I love. Additionally, I found that as long as you have a U

It's been an expensive 6 months since leaving Kindle

Growing up in school I hated reading. None of the required reading books ever did anything for me, so I rarely actually read them. But that all changed in 2011 when I got a Kindle Keyboard and found out I could read books that I actually liked. It's been wondering and I've been singing the praises o

My kid asked for color ereader (Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook) ?

As a reader of comics and an ereader collector, a 7” reader is really too small. If you really want to get him a color e-ink device I recommend the Pocketbook InkPad Color 3. It’s 8” and a dedicated ereader so you don’t have to worry about Android apps and distractions. I still think e-ink isn’t qui

Pocketbook vs Kobo & Kindle

I own a Pocketbook Inkpad Color 3 and I love my device. I had in the past Kindle for many years and my wife has a Kobo, so I know other brands very well. Pocketbook devices have good quality and the software works without problems. The best thing is that with the Pocketbook app you can sync your boo

Color e-reader recs for manga/comics?

I feel that for manga and comics, the larger the e-reader, the better the experience. Wanting a color reader makes that harder and more expensive. My pick here would be the Pocketbook InkPad Color 3. I have been using their InkPad models for years now and have been happy with them overall.
