PocketBook InkPad Lite | E-Book Reader with Large E-Ink Screen 9.7ʺ | Glare-Free & Eye-Friendly E-Reader | Wi-Fi | Adjustable SMARTlight | Micro-SD Slot | E-Readers for Kids, Adults & Seniors

The almost 10-inch screen lets me read larger type, and still have a decent amount of words on the screen. It sucks, getting old. The touchscreen is a bit sluggish, but you get used to that kind of thing, at my age.

This is a decdnt e-ink reader. The writing on it is terrible, I wouldnt expect to accurately write on it. The buttons are hard to tell what they do, but you could probably just put stickers on the buttons. Pocketbook shouldve really put white stickers instead of being forced to turn on a light.

I bought two of these in May - my Wife and I have been using them daily since then. Im not aware of anything with a better screen at a better price. The size is just enough to read most PDFs without any zooming, and the bezel gives a comfortable handle for the device. My only two gripes are: 1) The buttons are all but invisible... even small markings would help, but a creative person can probably solve this on their own. 2) The power-up time is painful. You hold the power button for two seconds, and it takes about four more seconds before the device shows any activity. In the meantime, youre left to wonder if it recognized the power-on, because sometimes it doesnt. Otherwise, I love this thing. Color would be nice, but it wasnt worth the contrast and size trade-offs that Id have to make at this price point. Im still hoping that they might fix the power-on problem with an update (just flashing the backlight or charging indicator would do it), but I have no regrets. PocketBook doesnt seem to have much of a presence in the US, but their customer service has been responsive and helpful.

good

It is the best E-Book Reader ever! Loving the larger screen. With more text fitting into the larger screen is great for larger fonts. You can see the larger screen size makes a big difference.

Be careful if you order this. Directly below the checkout button is a warning saying device is not returnable. Frustrating that since there are no physical stores to test out Pocketbook that they dont allow returns if the device isnt a good fit.

I bought this ebook as a Christmass gift to myself and must say - it is the best gift for last 10 years. This is my 5th ebook and first one which has EVERYTHING right out of the box. My library id mostly in fb2 format which is not supported by Kindle or Kobo. Pocketbook reads it as native. PDF, RTF, DJVU, DOC, TXT, the other formats I have my books in - read without any issue. The book has only 8Gb internal memory, but it was enough to put there already 1500 files. Plus there is a micro sd card slot for up to 128 Gb which I intend to use soon. Battery works very solid - I spent whole evening yesterday by reading and it didnt even drop charge by 5%. Touch screen is very responsive and scaling fonts is very easy - it is just pleasure to my eyes to set comfortable font. In general it is very good and reliable ebook. I recommend it to anyone who likes to read, you will enjoy and never regret.

Its capacity doesnt leave me wanting much more, I havent even touched the SD card yet. The screen is nice and crisp for what it is. As long as you understand the limitation of e ink screens. Its size is a huge plus for me. I love larger e readers, and this is the one Im happiest with so far. Being able to easily transfer books over with my phone is nice if its just a single book, and I use the pc cable for the rest. I love having buttons on the side, since I prefer the feel over just touch screen scrolling If I had to complain about anything, they would be minor annoyances. The wifi is sort of slow, but thats to be expected. I just use the cable for most book transfers. The company doesnt sell the case for this one anymore it seems? I just got a cute one from Walmart instead, so thats fine or w/e. My biggest two complaints are simply. The wakeup from sleep function can be a bit slow, so I find myself pushing the power button a few times trying to figure out if its slow or I didnt hit it long enough. Using the turn oage button on pdfs tends to turn it a weird amount instead of just to the next page. Like a page and 15%. And my biggest complaint is simply that theres no night mode for the reader. Its not the worst since you can turn on the warmlight all the way and it doesnt hurt your eyes as much at night, but Id really appreciate black with white text for proper night reading. Truly a very solid eReader.

This is a beautiful device. Easy set up. The screen is very sharp and is hard to believe it looks as clear as a 300 dpi device. The only drawback and the reason it has been returned is that it is a little too heavy for someone with advanced arthritis in their hands. Other than that, I would highly recommend this brand and device.

There are so many things I like about this. I am using it as an ereader and not much more. So theres much I cannot comment on. As an ereader, I am quite happy. I like the size and ease of it. I love that I can make the wording better by just using two fingers and scrolling out or in (to make it smaller). The light isnt hard on the eyes and lights the wording really well. That it has a micro SD made me choose this particular Inkpad. Battery is okay. I read for around 12 hours and then recharge. The cons; Like every other ereader and touch screen I have, they are glitchy. But Id say this is a tiny bit more glitchy than most. If I use the buttons to go to the next page, thats fine and never glitches. However, in the dark they are hard to see and use and have no feel to them to know what is the right button to hit. However, if you cant see you can use your finger on the screen to to swipe to turn the other page. Now, this is where glitches come into play. Sometimes it goes a few pages instead of one. Sometimes it acts as if I used two fingers and is now trying to resize the page. This can truly be annoying when I am waiting for it to resize when I am at an important part of the book. Since are no buttons on both side, I have to struggle to find the button to change the page with my right hand only. Would be much nicer if on both sides. Would I buy this again? Of course. Out of all my options, this was the one I kept coming back too and I have been happily reading since.
