InkPad Color 3

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

I tried KOreader on my InkPad Color 3. I removed it after a couple of hours. I thought I was one of those readers that doesn’t find value in the customisation it offers. I didn’t really like the extensive settings menu. For me, the PB native reading app is perfect. After a while I tried it on my sma

congrats! You made a great choice! you can customise the buttons on the home screen! Just long press on them, or long press on the library icon to add a new button. If you don't want to use the PB store, you can remove it from your device and replace it with something else, like Klondike. If you hav

if you get a Kobo, expect to convert all of your books that you want on it to kepub format, otherwise you'll be missing on a bunch of basic Kobo features. Library wise, PocketBook has much better customisation and browsing options than Kobo does. And I personally love the customisation that PocketBo

If you need a keyboard you should probably just get a tablet. It will eventually be hell on your eyes if you read very much, but it’s the most flexible. PDFs work great with the pocketbook devices. I don’t have the Inkpad 3 Color so I can’t comment directly on the color aspects, I have the Inkpad 4.

The positive is that it’s 7.8” as opposed to the others at 7”. Kindle doesn’t treat books sent or sideloaded the same as it does books f

Oh, I very consider this! Most users will just buy a device and use it as it is, some will compare two or more devices and buy the one which looks like the better one... I myself would likely calibrate the screen against real images to compare against (if possible), because I am a bit picky when it

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

Nice choice! I switched from kindle to the InkPad Color 3 in April and I love it! Koreader is a great choice IMO; I love being able to customize each book. Here's the instructions if you want to take a look: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-PocketBook-devices

The device looks good. The only drawback I see is the old platform (Allwinner B288). The "newer" B300 would look better in this regard. In general, I've been using PocketBook InkPad 3 Color for almost two years and pretty happy with this device. It's pretty stable, supports KOReader out of the box,
