PocketBook 700 Era Silver ebook reader Touchscreen 16 GB Black Silver

I bought it and used it. Very light and comfortable. There are TWO disadvantages: (1) it easily slides off the palm and from other surfaces (so you definitely need to buy a cover right away) and (2) the screen is very fragile - falling onto a hard surface even from a small height - and immediately cracks.

Loved it. It is fast, support multiple ebook formats, good with images, very simple to rotate to use with one hand and very light to hold too. Smart back light is quite good too. Easy to set up personalized shortcuts for touchscreen and buttons. Only con is it feels VERY fragile, I’d recommend buying a cover -it’s even recommended in the user manual.

I'm really loving the Pocketbook Era. The first thing to mention is the built quality is fantastic. Fit and finish is just beyond anything Kindle or Kobo could produce. It has some weight to it too that makes it feel quality rather than holo and empty inside. The asymmetrical design is just perfect for me. One gripe I had with the PW was that it's at the size where it's just awkward to hold without a popsocket or some kind of strapped case. The Era has been very intuitively designed that it can be held with one hand with my thumb resting near the raised page turn button. The speed is fantastic and the refresh is a lot smoother than the PW Gen11 which I also have. PDFs are so pleasant to read and pinch to zoom is such a better experience. Battery life is on par with the PW if you actively use every battery saving option like lower screen brightness and airplane mode so the wifi/Bluetooth isn't on. Every book file type I could need is supported including epub, html, pdf, and cbz. It even has built in Adobe Editions support that Pocketbook provides should I need to borrow DRM content I can do so natively without third party software. Similar to Kindle, it has email to device support but Pocketbook also adds Dropbox support as well as Pocketbook Cloud support as well. Download the Pocketbook App on your phone and it can manage books from Google Drive and Google Books as well. The most convenient feature I absolutely appreciate on the Pocketbook Era is the organization of my library on the device; IT ACTUALLY HAS ONE! Metadata is detected and books are organized by author, genre, collections, favorites, folders, formats, and series. No more being limited to organizing things by [Collections] and manually moving books to those folders like on the PW. Kindle needs pay attention and step up their game. For audiobooks mp3 works perfectly and the device will even detect chapters from single file m4b. One of the best audiobook reading experiences I've had with options to adjust both speed and pitch of the audio. Text to speech is very nice as well with many voices to download and speakers/Bluetooth makes things so convenient. If you want to connect it to wired headphones you can with the supplied USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. The store experience isn't something you buy the Pocketbook for as it only has access to the European store. This is good and bad; good in that you're not tied to any ecosystem like you are with Kindles or Kobo's and bad if you're looking to buy books, download and simply read like you could with Kindles and Kobo's. If you manage your book library from third party software like calibre, this is the perfect companion to sideloading however this can involve plugging the device in which, apparently the consensus is a deal breaker since people hate the inconvenience of having to plug in their device to a computer. I don't mind this at all since my library is huge. If I need to transfer a single book, I just use the email to Pocketbook feature and it receives perfectly. Never have I had a book deleted on me; Kindle users will know what I mean. Overall I really enjoy reading on my Pocketbook Era. I think it's the perfect device for me as I can work around every obstacle to maximize my experience with the device by utilizing the capabilities of the device. It isn't an all-in-one device like a Kindle could be, where you can buy books directly and check out books from a subscription service like Kindle Unlimited but if you know how to utilize third party software to manage your book library this is a fantastic option for an ereader. Audiobook support is fantastic, although I wasn't into audiobooks prior to picking this device up, I find it makes listening to audiobooks very convenient. I'm 17 audiobooks in so far this year and I feel like this is a very complete experience.

Cambié a este dispositivo para tener pantalla de 7 pulgadas y luz cálida. Además, la posibilidad de tener botones físicos para el cambio de página (cosa que muchos usuarios reclaman, lamentando la discontinuidad del Kindle Oasis, por ejemplo). Sí, el nuevo PW ofrece las dos primeras condiciones, pero la política con respecto a las restricciones de los Kindle me hizo cambiar de marca, aún siendo un fan de estos dispositivos. El primero que cambiamos fue el de mi esposa, por un Kobo Clara BW. Cuando me tocó a mí, no me convenció el que el Libra solamente tuviera la opción de pantalla Kaleido3 (a color) pues eso no me interesa en absoluto, ya que no uso la luz si no es para leer por la noche y con las actuales pantallas a color debes tenerla siempre encendida. Así pues, me decidí por este dispositivo y, después de un mes de uso, hago esta reseña. - Contras: Empezando por lo negativo, el cambio de libro es más lento que en Kindle. Particularmente, eso me afecta porque suelo leer 4 o 5 a la vez y voy cambiando una o dos veces durante el día. Tampoco es significativamente malo, sólo hay que esperar un par de segundos. El diccionario tampoco es una maravilla, algunas veces la definición es "femenino o plurar de x" con lo que te quedas sin más definiciones si no te conectas a la Wikipedia. - Pros: Siempre uso los e-readers con funda pero, aún así, es cómodo de leer en casa o en el transporte público. El poder cambiar la orientación de la pantalla y que los botones de cambio de página también lo hagan (algo así como el modo zurdo) es un plus para mí. La pantalla, no siendo Carta 1300, sino 1200 sigue manteniendo los 300 ppi y un paso de página rápido. Ampliamente customizable sin tener que cambiarle el SO. Tal vez más adelante use una versión del KO Reader, pero no por ahora. Otro plus a tener en cuenta es que puedes "programar" el uso de la luz (brillo y calidez) a determinadas horas del día, sin tener que preocuparte de mover el dedo por la pantalla, aunque si lo haces te pregunta si quieres pasar al modo manual y puedes volver al automático en cualquier momento. En cuanto a la "tienda" es un tanto limitada para libros en español, pero yo ya tengo una buena biblioteca y si me interesa comprar en otra tienda (no Kindle) puedo hacerlo y descargar el nuevo libro mediante USB desde mi ordenador. Hay opciones para sincronizar la lectura con otros dispositivos, guardar libros en su nube, etc. pero apenas lo he usado en ninguno de mis lectores anteriores. La carga de la batería dura tanto como mi antiguo dispositivo y agradecezco mucho el uso de la luz cálida para leer antes de dormir. Si cambia algo, tengan por seguro que modificaré o actualizaré esta reseña.

Ik vind het schermformaat perfect. Kwaliteit van beeld is goed, of je nu in donker leest of in de zon, door de belichting is het altijd goed te lezen. Is fijn om vast te houden. Naast swipen kun je ook de fysieke knoppen gebruiken. Deze ereader kan ieder ebook formaat aan. Geen gedoe met kabels of pc. Sync met je dropbox en alles wat je daar in zet komt op je ereader. Er is ook een app voor op je telefoon. Daar kun je je bibliotheek ook beheren en altijd verder lezen wanneer je wil. De voortgang is opgeslagen in de cloud. Helaas is de ondersteuning voor Nederlands in de bookstore of woordenboek nog wat beperkt. De batterij gaat super lang mee!

Desafortunadamente, el dispositivo no abre los libros recibidos por correo electrónico. ¿Sólo puedo comprar libros en la tienda oficial?
