Pros and cons

According to our e-reader expert
  • With a weight of 155g, you can easily take this device with you in your bag.
  • The small size of this e-reader allows you to easily read while on the go, for example on the train.
  • Use both the touchscreen and the buttons to operate your e-reader.
  • A charger adapter for charging isn't included, only a cable.
  • This e-reader is relatively small, so it's less comfortable to read than with a larger model.

A nice lightweight handy ereader.

  • Didn't have to read the manual at all because I could immediately place books on it. Within half an hour I was already reading.
  • the e-reader is very light in the hand. That is a big advantage if you have osteoarthritis on both hands.
  • missed a charger. Only a USB cable was included.

Recommended, lightweight and pleasant to use

  • Nice non-slip housing
  • Handy size, lightweight
  • Lasts a long time on a battery charge
  • Sometimes very slow (not while reading/browsing)

This is my first e-reader. Beforehand, I asked friends with e-reader for their experiences. The Kobo has been sold a lot and that's why I almost didn't dare to choose otherwise. Still, I chose this PocketBook Touch Lux 5 and I must say that I have no regrets.
You notice that the e-ink display is slow, but all e-readers have that. The processor is also not fast, but an e-reader is not made for that either. That means if you use the browser or want to browse the store, it will be very slow. You can do that better (more pleasant, smoother) on your phone, tablet or computer. There you select your book and pay for it. The great thing is that you can pick it up and download it in the e-reader from the store (via WiFi). That works the easiest and it is not fast, but fairly smooth. So you don't have to fiddle with cables between the computer and e-reader.
All in all I am very satisfied and happy with this choice.

setback

  • touchscreen: often went back a page instead of forward

This was my second e-reader. My previous one was a Kobo Nia that kept getting stuck and causing the on/off button (a rubber case that wasn't really sturdy) eventually broke pretty quickly due to resetting too often. So I wanted a different brand, with a better quality of the on/off button. That was the case with this Pocketbook. But unfortunately he was not a success (except for the size and weight).

The touchscreen regularly went back a page instead of forward, even though I kept tapping in the same place every time. You can get around that with this e-reader by using the buttons. But because of the way I hold the device in my hand, it was not so pleasant for me to keep pressing the button at the bottom.

The on/off button lights up every time you scroll to the next (or previous) page. In daylight it was still to be ignored, but in a less brightly lit room I found it disturbing.

I found the settings and also the subdivision into categories a lot more user-friendly with my Kobo. When sorting by author, the books in this Pocketbook were not all in alphabetical order, which is especially disturbing with series because you then have to scroll every time to find the next book. There is also a subdivision into genres, but you can't rename them yourself, so you get a long list of genres that are way too random for my liking.

I could live with most of the flaws, but the touchscreen problem was just too frustrating so it was returned. The transaction went well. Satisfied with the Coolblue service.

Not good quality and not good warranty conditions.

  • thin and small
  • Easy to use
  • After half a year streak through the picture

After six months, a line runs through the screen (not on the outside). Has a case on, has not fallen. However, that is not covered by the warranty.
