PocketBook Era Color Ereader - 7 Inch E Ink Kaleido 3 Screen - Eye-Friendly Audio-Book & E-Book Reader - Text-to-Speech - Waterproof IPX8 - Bluetooth & Speakers - WiFi Cloud Sync - 32GB Storage

Loved it. It is fast, support multiple ebook formats, good with images, very simple to rotate to use with one hand and very light to hold too. Smart back light is quite good too. Easy to set up personalized shortcuts for touchscreen and buttons. Only con is it feels VERY fragile, I’d recommend buying a cover -it’s even recommended in the user manual.

This Pocketbook ereader replaced my Kobo Aura One (which I truly loved). Pros - This has a better screen. Fast page turning The reading experience is very smooth and comfortable. The display is very sharp and easy to read. Lighting is very even. 64 GB is a crazy amount of storage. I never delete anything. I can operate it with one hand. I had to use both hands with the kobo. Buttons are very useful but I have a hard time remembering which is which when I flip it. The connection to calibre is more reliable than the kobo. I love usb-c on an ebook reader. Battery life is excellent; I get about a month. The cloud account works very well. I had to lie and say I bought it in Germany to get it to work. Cons- It is rather sensitive to orientation and often flips the display 90 degrees when it should not. The library browser is jerky and unpleasant to use. I used both readers for I while this winter, but found myself preferring the Pocketbook Era.

No era lo que esperaba, lo compré en una cierta rebaja casi nuevo pero me vino con píxeles dañados y aunque es bonito y se ve de buena calidad, la pantalla es ll que vale y tuve que devolverlo, no dan descuento y el servicio al cliente de Pocketbook me dijo que prácticamente era mi culpa por haber comprado en esa modalidad. Lo peor es que lo compré como regalo de cumpleaños y demoraron demasiado el envío aplazando.

Outstanding! Good native program, but even more customizable with Koreader installed. I can easily increase the font size or weight with Koreader when my eyes get tired. I no longer have to convert everything to Mobi or Epub since it can read so many different types of ebooks. Saves me a lot of time. It's also very private- you don't have to be connected to an ebook seller to use it. Works offline. The 64GB memory is great - I can bring a huge library. Wish they still made the 64GB model. Good size and dimensions. Very lightweight. My favorite ereader by far. I now have 3 of them and got one for my brother, who liked it so much, he got one for his wife.

Edit: I’ve had this device for about a month now. I’ve deducted a star due to the sluggishness of G-Sensor, the feature that allows you to switch hands and change orientation. It’s enough to cause much irritation and is basically unusable. I hope they can fix this with a software update but I suspect it’s just low processing power. Also sometimes the device becomes completely unresponsive all together. I wonder if they just crammed too many features into the device than the hardware can handle. Original review: I have been using exclusively kindles since the first one and they are great. Never had a problem with any of them and great build quality. I have also been buying them for my whole family. My only gripe was I enjoy managing my library of books with custom cover art and older books that are not available in kindle format. I also like to buy books from other sources that have a deal. This is complicated with a kindle and time consuming. I did tons of research coming from my most recent kindle oasis 2. I knew I couldn’t go backwards from having buttons, it really elevates the reading experience for me. I wanted to be able to read any format from any store I felt like buying from. I did NOT want one store forced on my Home Screen or ads. These things really narrowed down my options. I settled on the Era since the Pocketbook Viva isn’t available yet on Amazon. I’ve had a few evenings with it so far to go through every setting and get most of my library on it. Kindle books will not transfer without a lot of work. At first it took a lot of adjustment, I wasn’t sure I’d made the right decision. I had to change how I hold the device slightly and how I tap the screen to get the proper response. It has far more customization across every aspect of the device. And the smart light is nice to have because my oasis does not have warm light. The battery is bigger and even with all the added features, battery life is astronomically better. As far as I know, this device has the largest battery capacity of all the black and white e-readers (non android). Some people have complained on screen issues and issues logging into accounts, I haven’t encountered any of these issues yet. Also you don’t HAVE to log into any accounts. Another amazing feature is the text to speech. The device uses the voice of your choice to read any book. Of course it’s not as good as quality narration of an audiobook but it’s much better than I expected. I will save a lot of money not buying audiobooks. Audiobooks are also supported though. If you want total control of your E-book library and are computer savvy enough to put in the work, I’d recommend the freedom having a Pocketbook provides. Given the price compared to similar devices, I’d say so far it’s a good value. If you like the simplicity of having the biggest ebook store and a book subscription service on your device and don’t need or want anything else then you’d probably be better off sticking to Kindle. I should add though Pocketbook DOES have a store on the device and supposedly if you contact them with your device info they can change the region information allowing you to use it. I will be doing that myself soon.

Lightweight, compact, the settings can be in any language (not always a case with other e-books), possibility to highlight and note, and the most important is ability to download books from anywhere you want

Brilliant e-reader with text to speech compatible with Libby App UK (Used by many UK libraries). This e-reader is exactly what I was looking for and allows me to access the library books I borrow via the Libby app from my library in epub format and then listen to them using text to speech which I find much easier than reading due to disability. I borrow via Libby on phone or iPad first as they’re faster to navigate but then opening the epub of the book on pocketbook immediately allows access to all features including voice which has a number of voices available for text to speech and can be listened to by Bluetooth headphones or through the integrated speaker. It’s on a par, if not better than the kindle text to speech experience (easier to access and stop and start than voiceover). The user interface is slower than Apple products but similar to non- Apple devices I’ve tried and very similar to Kindle basic model speed. The screen is responsive and accurate. The buttons are good and responsive. There are lots of customisable options and the battery life, even when using text to speech, is impressive compared to basic kindle. It’s expensive (reason for 4 stars) but if you’re looking for text to speech for epub, Libby library books I couldn’t find anything better and would recommend. The listing says 65gb silver but I was sent 64gb copper model so I’m not sure if the listing is now for both or a random assignment but the sunset copper colour is lovely and the device seems well made overall.

Cercavo da tempo un ereader che non fosse collegato a uno store. Avevo provato tolino con sistema operativo Android ed era stato un disastro. Questo lo sto usando da diversi giorni, gli ebook si caricano tramite Adobe Digital Edition (quelli con adobe drm) senza problemi, quelli che non hanno adobe drm vanno copiati come su una chiavetta usb. i colori sono buoni e la batteria ha un'ottima durata, considerato che io lo tengo acceso diverse ore al giorno. l'avvio è molto rapido. Molto soddisfatta anche per la gestione dei libri presi in prestito in biblioteca, che ultimamente col Kobo non riuscivo più a gestire.

Has "send a book via email directly to the reader" feature. Battery lasts super long if WI-FI is off. Fast enough for e-ink reader. Web Browser is slow and doesn't support tabs - but has enough functionality to google for a book/document and download it. I love PDF text reflow feature: if a PDF has OCR, then the reader can extract the text and lay it out as if it is a plain text document. So you don't have to zoom and scale to fit. For non OCR PDFs the experience is OK, but of course, not so seamless as with a regular screen. Has build-in dictionaries & thesaurus (offline!). Can even read a book aloud.
