Top Amazon Reviews


  • Excellent overall
I am reviewing both Inkpad 4 and Era as we have both in the household currently, and most of these two reviews will be the same for both devices. You can see both next to each other in my photos for anyone hesitating between the two. An excellent device overall. • SCREEN: I have read on the Internet some people complain about the screen quality - perhaps early units were different, but the current ones I would say do NOT have any screen quality problem. I’ve had Kindles, Boox, etc. The screen on the Pocketbook Inkpad 4 and Pocketbook Era are both top-notch. They compare to Kindle Oasis. There is nothing dim or blurry about them. My Boox Nova Air actually IS blurry so I do know what that looks like. • OPERATING SYSTEM: a bit in between the experience on a Kindle and on a Boox device. More abilities than a Kindle (and VERY importantly for me, the ability to use Bluetooth page turning remotes), a slightly more complex OS, but still much simpler than a Boox device (and more limited because it’s not Android). The OS can be a bit sluggish at times! Closer to a Kindle than a Boox in terms of performance. A bit slower than Kindles when using functionalities that Kindles don’t have. Scrolling through the library can be a little slow at times too. It’s not a racing car, but I’m not finding myself minding that much. In fact I find it helps to prevent the mega fast mega scroll mega mindless mode we get sometimes into with our fast modern devices. I stay in slow, ‘remember to breathe’ reading mode when using this device at all times. • READER APP: a very good reader app, however, while it offers great customization for gestures and tap areas, it lacks customization for font, margins and line gaps. Now there is a trick that lets you customize line gaps, it’s not difficult to do but it’s not on the device. It requires manually editing a text file in the device system files. It is completely safe to do, but I wish there just was more options in the reader app. Same thing for font size, bolding levels, and such. You can sideload your own fonts. I am also really sad that it doesn’t track how much time it takes me to finish a book. That’s a feature I really love in Boox’s default reader, and on Kindles to know how long it will take me to get to the next chapter etc. NOTE: if you are a fan of KOreader, you CAN install it on this device very easily, without ‘jailbreak’ or any such heavy tricks. It is very well supported. * STORE: I haven't tried it, but Pocketbook basically lets you sideload whatever you want. Buy from their store or don't, the device doesn't care - so long as the ebooks are drm free (of course your ebooks must NOT have drm's to work anywhere but their intended device). The device does NOT push its store on you at all (there's a home screen thing to see deals or whatever but it's easy to turn it off). • CONNECTIONS: Bluetooth that is actually useful (ie can connect Bluetooth devices such as page turn remotes) as opposed to Amazon’s implementation of it which lets you do basically nothing. USC-C, no problems or complaints there, it works every time I connect to the computer. • BATTERY LIFE: haven’t gone through a full cycle yet, but seems within what the company advertises so far • DESIGN: beautiful devices, slightly more original designs than most e-readers these days. Reminds me of the Kindle Voyage - what an e-reader that was! • BUTTONS: I love that they’re there. They work very well. Obviously, they are better on the Era due to where they are placed, but they are still useful on the Inkpad 3 too. LONG STORY SHORT: Yays: Excellent, high quality. Beautiful, functional ereader. Intuitive OS still with good customization options on navigation and gestures. Gripes: no “how long it takes to read this chapter/book” feature in the default reader app. The slowness at times might be a dealbreaker for you. The reader app could use more margin and line gaps customization options. Still giving it a 5/5 because there are so few choices for a 7.8” ereader and this is overall a really solid one. ... show more

  • 7.8 Greatness
The InkPad 4 hits the sweet spot for serious readers who want premium features without breaking the bank. The 7.8-inch display is the real star here. It strikes the perfect balance—large enough for PDFs and technical documents without being unwieldy, and the size of a paperback novel you'd want to take with you anywhere. The 1872×1404 resolution (300 PPI) delivers crisp text that's easy on the eyes during long reading sessions. The front-light is even across the screen making reading under any light condition easy on the eyes. The device feels solid in your hands. The build quality is reassuring—not plasticky or cheap like some competitors. It's got enough heft to feel premium but remains comfortable for extended reading. The physical page turn buttons are responsive and well-placed, making one-handed reading a breeze. Here's where the InkPad 4 really shines for power users: installing KOReader is refreshingly straightforward—no complex hacking or warranty-voiding procedures needed. Just drag and drop the app into the InkPad's root folder, restart, and you have the best reading app ready to configure and customize for your reading pleasure. Best thing about the Pocketbook? You're not married to ecosystem for your books. The InkPad 4 delivers where it counts: excellent screen, solid construction, and the flexibility to use better software. For readers who want control over their reading experience, this combination of hardware quality and software freedom is hard to beat. ... show more

  • Great 7.8" Ereader, but not o
Love the screen size. A little heavy, but doable. I went from a 6" to 8" and I like extra room. Doesn't pocket like the 6", but fits in a bag fine. Buttons are nice! I would prefer side buttons, but these have a nice tactile click. Speed: I'd say same speed as most ereaders, which isn't fast but you're just reading books. Ease of use: You should be a little tech literate for a US user. The company is European, so the built in shop doesn't have many releases like Amazon or Kobo. However, you can easily add books you download from Kobo or other stores (not Amazon because they disabled downloads). Books can be added by USB or emailed to ereader. ... show more

  • Excellent device, supports more formats than you probably know
Great device. I really wanted something that could support older formats, and a wide range of formats (I also live in Windows and Linux document worlds). The hard function buttons are another great plus, even if they are on a narrow edge. It starts up in just a few seconds and I'm reading where I left off. Really, the only problem was finding a case that I liked. ... show more
