If you're in the market for a color e-reader, this is a great choice. Colors are muted (as with all color e-ink), and the screen is darker than the monochrome version, which necessitates more backlight use, and thus battery power. This is inherent to all color e-ink displays, so understand that before buying. If color is not critical, buy the monochrome version.The build quality is top notch. I was a little concerned that with the buttons on the side would be prone to accidental clicking. They are not, and in fact the shape of the buttons actually improve single handed grip considerably. Holding the Era in one hand, and using the right arrow button to advance pages is comfortable. The device is fairly light (about the same as a the Kindle Paper White). It will just fit in a wide pant pocket. The back side's grooved surface looks OK, but did not improve grip the way I expected.PocketBook's software is a breath of fresh air. There are a plethora of customization options. Every physical button can be customized to do whatever the user wants. Screen tap, and gesture actions can also be fully customized. The store can be hidden; Something I appreciate as US customer. The library can be sorted many ways, including by genre and series, and it can also be searched. Books can be marked as favorites, and users can make their own collections. There is a task manager (which can be mapped to a physical key like most every other feature), which makes switching between apps effortless. There is a nice browser, allowing about as good a browsing experience as possible on e-ink. Voice integration is better than I expected. Multiple voices are available for download to suit most tastes. Playback is relatively smooth, and playback speed is adjustable. There is voice playback in the dictionary tab, which is very helpful with foreign word pronunciation.It's a modifiable device too. If you want to use KOReader, installing it is a snap, and file associations can be set so clicking on a book opens KOReader automatically. If you want to dig deeper, all kinds of other changes can be made. Like changing the application menu, changing app icons to whatever you want, Changing the app menu categories, sorting, and hiding apps altogether, and the developers even included helpful comments in the devices config files to make customization easier.What's not to like? It would be nice if bookmarks had a dropdown context menu like Kindle. The dictionary/translation feature opens as a tab; A window like on Kindle or KOReader would be better. If PocketBook entered the US market, quite a few things could be improved, but it's understandable why they have not.

Funciona bien

I wanted to like this e-reader however these are the main deal-breakers for me:- the front light looks patchy which is a big distraction for me when I'm reading in dim lighting (like in the bedroom before sleeping)- automatic light levels either make the screen too dim in low light, or too bright in day lightPromptly returned, then I purchased one made by a former "Canadian" company.

Fidèle à la marque Pocketbook ( c'est le 3ème modèle que j'achète), je suis toujours aussi satisfaite. Celle-ci est super. Elle peut être personnalisable et le chargement de livres ou de Bd est hyper-facile. Elle peut être initialisée en français sans aucun problème ; même pour l'audio. Elle est livrée avec un panel de livres en plusieurs langues avec une notice inclue, en français. Pour obtenir le dico français, il suffit d'écrire au service client Pocketbook. Ils sont super réactifs. Je conseille vivement de la protéger par une couverture adaptée. Pour moi, Pocketbook est à la pointe du marché des liseuses. Celle-ci n'est pas encore commercialisée chez Vivlio...

Es muy práctico y tiene bonitos coloridos lo recomiendo
