Pros and cons

According to our e-reader expert
  • Thanks to the size of the e-reader, you can read comfortably and easily take it on the go.
  • You can connect headphones via Bluetooth to listen to audiobooks.
  • You don't have to worry about reading in the tub or along the poolside, thanks to the waterproof casing.
  • A charging cable is included, but not a charger for in the socket.
  • You can't save many audio files in the 16GB storage, so choose 64GB if you listen to audiobooks a lot.

Definitely worth its price.

  • The screen is fast enough to scroll.
  • Very open software design - unlike Kobo for example.
  • KOReader runs quite well on it.
  • The browser uses a lot of energy - at least on some pages.

The pre-installed software is decent (better than what Kobo has), but not enough for me, so I installed KOReader. Even though KOReader is not maintained for PocketBooks, it runs well. When the device goes in and out of sleep mode, KOReader sometimes wants to have the orientation wrong, but I have defined a gesture to reverse the orientation 180 degrees, so that problem is solved with one gesture.
I had heard negative reports about the screen, but my copy provides a more than razor-sharp image with good contrast (KOReader allows things like contrast and font thickness to be adjusted very accurately). The screen lighting is good, although some weaker strengths than the current 1% could have been added, but the color warmth offers me too little red in the warmest setting.
The design is very nice, but (as PocketBook itself says on a note supplied) a case is absolutely necessary in everyday life. There are cases that allow wireless charging, but I don't have one, so I don't know how well that would work. not me.
The screen size is just enough for me to read PDFs in A4, after removing the margin (something that KOReader is good at).
The battery is strong - several days of continuous reading without refilling is no problem. However, a few hours of browsing can completely drain a full battery.
The device has 58,000 MB of memory, of which about 53,000 MB is available after deducting the pre-installed software.

Good, with a big but......

  • Also audio books
  • Also internet and browser
  • Clear screen and good operation
  • unusable bookstore

In itself I like this ereader. However, there is a super annoying issue: 30% of the screen is taken up by the bookstore. This one is from Pocketbook. However, no Dutch-language books are offered. There are three stores: English, German and Russian (I think ;) )
You can also set languages, which I think will then only show the books in question. This includes a number of languages (including the common Afrikaans language), but not Dutch.
In short: no Dutch bookstore and no Dutch-language books. The bookstore that is visible cannot be changed, adjusted or clicked away, so that approximately 30% of the page is annoyingly unusable.
A real design flaw.
However, not enough for me to return the reader, which I do like.

Perfect for a bookworm with a large collection.

  • Integration with PC and Calibre
  • Screen quality! Reading in the sun and in a dark bedroom
  • Handy size
  • Start up slow

Screen quality is excellent and lighting is easy to adjust. Finally read as long as in a book without red eyes.
Starts up a bit slow and doesn't have the 'snappiness' of a PC or tablet, but you can easily find a pleasant rhythm.
I find the interface unnatural at times and manage your library better via the PC, but it works fluently.
Small things: you can't 'close' a book which is annoying when you want to browse through your collection, etc. but that's nitpicking.
I do miss color in the technical (computer) books, but then a larger screen is also more convenient. So I still read it on tablet and PC.
