  • Pocketbook Inkpad Lite - Love it!
My Likebook Mars Android e-reader stopped charging after 4+ years of regular use and this Pocketbook Inkpad Lite was bought as a replacement. 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. ... show more

  • There's so many things to like.
There are so many things I like about this. I am using it as an ereader and not much more. So there's 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 isn't 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 I'd say this is a tiny bit more glitchy than most. If I use the buttons to go to the next page, that's 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 can't 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. ... show more

  • Great eReader, with only a few flaws.
It's capacity doesn't leave me wanting much more, I haven't 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. It's size is a huge plus for me. I love larger e readers, and this is the one I'm happiest with so far. Being able to easily transfer books over with my phone is nice if it's 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 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. ... show more

  • Only Two Flaws...
I bought two of these in May - my Wife and I have been using them daily since then. I'm 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, you're left to wonder if it recognized the power-on, because sometimes it doesn't. Otherwise, I love this thing. Color would be nice, but it wasn't worth the contrast and size trade-offs that I'd have to make at this price point. I'm 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 doesn't seem to have much of a presence in the US, but their customer service has been responsive and helpful. ... show more
