Second Chance PocketBook InkPad Eo

It broke down the second day I got the e-reader. I haven't even been able to read four pages of it yet. Unfortunately it was my own fault and it fell off my bedside table, but the screen is extremely fragile and breaks very easily. By the way, there is extensive warning that the screen is so vulnerable, when you open a package you immediately see a red paper with a warning about this. In practice, it makes this e-reader very sensitive and unusable to take anywhere, it will be broken before you know it. I have had a Galaxy Tab for years and the screen is much stronger, there is not a scratch on it after years of use, I have also been using another e-reader for years without any problems.

The screen is not very readable anyway, the screen reflects a bit like a glossy magazine does. The software is also very disappointing, you can create to-do items and notes, but then cannot synchronize them with Outlook or Google, so that has little added value.

PocketBook does not provide support either, I was on hold for half an hour and then the connection was disconnected.

I was looking for a larger tablet/e-reader to read magazines on (preferably in the sun). I quickly came across this device. Such an e-ink screen is wonderfully soothing for the eyes. The colours are dull, but I knew that in advance. You don't have to expect regular tablet colour quality, perhaps something that will become possible in the future. But for reading magazines, some colour is always welcome and you will certainly get that experience with this e-reader. I also immediately put a number of comics on it; they are perfectly readable on this large screen (and if necessary you can always zoom in).
In addition, it is a device that runs on Android, so I immediately installed sudoku and a chess game on it. As if you are looking at a newspaper during the game, in terms of how soothing it is for your eyes.
The screen is on the large side for reading books. This can easily be solved by displaying two pages at the same time.

When it gets darker, you can choose to have the entire screen light up evenly.

The micro SD slot expansion is also a nice bonus.
I also tested the included pen and it works great.
I immediately bought a cover so that I hopefully won't have such a bad experience as another reviewer here (dropping is always a risk with this kind of fragile equipment).

So far very satisfied!

And to conclude with a tip: always set the refresh rate to fast. This gives a much more pleasant experience (otherwise the image flashes so often after every movement).
