Pros:
-9.7" screen. The resolution on this is lower than most other modern e-readers at just 150 ppi which concerned me when ordering but it's fine for reading books. I first bought an e-reader due to my eyesight getting to the point where I couldn't read small paperback text without reading glasses and I can read everything fine on this screen and can't tell a difference between the quality when reading epub books on this screen vs the quality of the 300 ppi screen on my old Likebook.
-It boots quickly. It did seem to hang a bit on first boot, but that was due to it organizing all of the ebooks on my memory card- mostly in epub format - on first boot.
-Has a microSD card slot, which made it easy to move all my books from my old e-reader to this one.
-OS easy to figure out and change settings to my preferences. Can set font and font size for use with all of your books vs my Lifebook where you had to set it on a book by book basis. Didn't like some of the default settings - especially where you touched the screen to turn back a page - and was easily able to change to my liking.
-USB-c charging. Nice being able to charge with same cable/charger as most of my other newer devices.
-Backlight works well to see all text in the dark and can be adjusted to your personal preferences.
-Cover - bought seperately - can close cover to put it to sleep.
Neutral:
-Physical buttons that can be used to turn the pages. Nice feature I guess, but still find it easier to just touch the screen. Do like where the power on button is compared to my old Likebook where that button was on the bottom and I would frequently turn it off by mistake - not an issue with this Pocketbook.
-Not as customizable as Andriod e-reader. But 99% of my use on my Android e-reader was reading books in epub format and this works great for that.
-Changing the defaults seems to take a few minutes to register. Thought at first my changes weren't being registered but they were.
Summary:
This is the 5th ereader that I've owned and so far it's far and away my favorite. It boots quickly, I love the size, and its easy to navigate. It may not have some of the features of some others, but it works great for reading books in epub format, which is what makes up the majority of my e-library.
On the InkPad Lite, a PDF file on a fit to page view does not fill the entire screen vertical-wise so you get a smaller image than the full 9.7 inches. To me, the fonts look somewhat small. It's almost like reading a small paperback's font size.
Now for the positives!
The build quality is great. The default backlight settings look great to me. I skipped the wifi setup for now so I can't comment on the online features. Dragging and dropping of files from a PC works well and the directory structure is very intuitive. Epub files appear to work very well, the whole screen is filled and the font size can be adjusted.
If I had to complain about anything, they would be minor annoyances. The wifi is sort of slow, but that's to be expected. I just use the cable for most book transfers.
The company doesn't sell the case for this one anymore it seems? I just got a cute one from Walmart instead, so that's 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 it's slow or I didn't 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 there's no night mode for the reader. It's not the worst since you can turn on the warmlight all the way and it doesn't hurt your eyes as much at night, but I'd really appreciate black with white text for proper night reading. Truly a very solid eReader.

Sans surprise le logiciel de la pocketbook (notamment sur la bibliothèque) est excellent (j’ai remvoyé une kobo sage à cause de ça car elle ne gérait pas les séries notamment (et pas que)).
Le bémol à connaître c’est que cette liseuse a une résolution en dessous des qualités attendues pour le marché actuel. C’est important si vous souhaitez réaliser des tests de vue avec votre liseuse et règler l’affichage des caractères en tout petit... autrement cela n’a aucun impact. Autant le dire, pour 95% des gens, la différence ne se verra tout simplement pas.
La liseuse est similaire aux autres inkpad (série 3). Pas de réelle différence de ce côté là, un petit toilettage logiciel mais vraiment pas grand chose.
Question autonomie tout va.
Question éclairage, on notera un éclairage un peu plus faible au bas de l’écran mais rien de vraiment choquant (il faut bien chipoter un peu ;P).
Au niveau poids, elle se sent. Ce n’est pas un poids léger, c’est à prendre en compte lors de l’achat.
Personnellement j’en suis vraiment content.
Solo espero que me dure un poco más que el anterior. En todo caso, he gastado la mitad. La batería realmente está bien lograda: dura como la de los antiguos ebooks (pequeñitos) que cargabas de pascuas a ramos. Se entiende bien con mi Mac, de donde cargo todos los libros y tiene muchas opciones para buscar, si decides tener muchos libros en la memoria. Se actualiza cada varias páginas, con lo cual gasta menos. Arranca rápido. He leído que la calidad de la "tinta digital" no es alta. No lo sé. Comparado con mi anterior lector (reitero caaaaaro de co...) leo igual o mejor y soy de los "mayores con vista cansada".
Resumiendo: un buen aparato con buen precio. Solo espero que... dure
Quando lo accendete la prima volta, vi chiede di selezionare la lingua. Basta selezionare l'italiano. NON è assolutamente vero, come ha scritto qualcuno, che c'e solo il russo.
