Your reviews are the best in youtube among all e-reader reviewers. Nobody explains the frontlight intensities in nits but you did. Please continue with the great work and we want comparisons of Kobo libra colour with era colour
@@chocoblin5887 the current BW model, yes. It would be nice if they decided to give life to an all-new color generation starting with a very appreciated product
Thank you for the in depth review of this eReader. After having multiple issues with my Kindle Oasis from sleep covers, to books randomly resetting and losing bookmarks (not just side loaded, but Amazon purchased ones), and no answers that I've found as to what causes this or how to fix. I think I've finally hit the last straw with Kindle eReaders. And I love that TTS is an option with Pocketbook, something Amazon has made more difficult to use since the Kindle Keyboard.
Even though not in the market for color ereaders (don't read much color stuff so not yet). Which one will you suggest - kindle paperwhite, kobo libra 2 or pocketbook era b&w? Will be mostly sideloading books, but being able to send from phone is kind of important. Page turn buttons are bonus and chose pocketbook for that, but lighting reviews about pocketbook is what making me worry. So I'm confused now 😓 also battery life is important with light on as I mostly read at night
If you intend to use the frontlight throughout the day, the Libra 2 got the best one and I still get that WOW-effect when using it. Definitely one of the best, most even frontlights I've seen in the last 15 years. Just remember there's a bit of variance, so if you get one that isn't great, you might want to return it. The Kindle Paperwhite also has a great frontlight, but is missing the buttons and no epub-support makes this a worse choice for sideloading imho. The Era B&W is great if you don't use the frontlight all the time and typically dial it down. I like the software the most, simply because it's more open. And the built-in speaker for audiobooks is also a nice plus. Personally, I'd pick the Libra 2 with the profile you're describing and set up Dropbox on my phone and the device. It's not officially supported, but can be enabled with a bit of tinkering, see here: www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=358903 If you don't want to tinker with the device, the Pocketbook Era is a solid choice and definitely one of the best in that segment.
I love the look of this device from the way that fit and finish appears. For the money it seems a much less practical device in the U.S. than the Kobo Libra Colour which has Dropbox, Google Drive, Libby all on device for easy download of books. The Kobo also has stylus support. I do Iike the look of the Pocketbook better though.
You could just use an USB connection or use web browser so not sure real dealbreaker. It seems Pocketbook has more customization and better pdf reader options (plus DRM library support I believe but not sure). But not super familiar with Kobo apps.
Hi, thank you for this review, I really enjoyed it! I would like to buy a coloured e-reader (or tablet) for reading scientific papers, so PDFs mostly. Do you think this would be a good device for that purpose? Or perhaps the Kobo libra colour? Again, thank you for the great content.
The PocketBook Era Color is definitely better for scientific papers and PDFs in general, simply because it has better PDF-modes. Especially the columns mode is great for that purpose. The Kobo Libra Colour, however, is better when it comes to note taking if you get the Kobo Pen as well. Personally I'd get the Era Color with mostly PDF-use.
Thank you for this review. Do you habe the Pocketbook Inkpad Color 2? Would it be possible to make a video where you compare the color screen? I guess it is interesting to see how much better the color screen is now with the kaleidoink3 display.
Yes, I have it here as well and was actually working on a review but then the InkPad Color 3 came out and I didn't finish it. The colors look pretty much the same and the InkPad Color 3 actually has the advantage of the screen not being as dark as on the Era Color 3 or InkPad Color 3. But because the colored subpixels are larger (100 ppi vs. 150 ppi) and the subpixel-matrix is structured differently, the InkPad Color 2 looks a bit grainier. So it really depends on what you want to achieve. If it's just colors the difference isn't really noteworthy. But screen clarity is better on the newer Kaleido screens.
Your reviews are great! I am considering buying a coloured Ebook mainly for reading comics. Unit now I used kindle on my Phone. Kindle has a nice function where it zooms in and I can tap trough the different Comic windows of each page (so one window automatically fills out the whole screen, and then I tap and get the next, no manually zooming) and therefor dont have to read the whole page on the small screen. Does the Pocketbook also provides this function? Propably I need to use an app like Kindle or is Kindle also available. This is crucial to decide which size I need. I lik the 7" of the Era Color, but if I cant use this automatic zoom function I would go for the 7,8" or some other brand with a bigger screen.
No, the zooming in and out that the Kindle-app provides isn't available on any ereader natively. You could use it with the Kindle app on an Android ereader. Check out my Boox Go Color 7 review - I show that in 1 or 2 shots.
Auch das ist wieder ein hervorragendes Review. Vielen Dank. Ich hab eine Frage auf die ich keine Antwort gefunden habe. Gibt es eine SCHNELLE Möglichkeit sich eine Wortbedeutung (nicht Übersetzung) anzeigen zu lassen?
Danke! Zu deiner Frage: Teilweise. Für Englisch, Deutsch, Spanisch und Italienisch gibt es Erklärungswörterbücher. Funktionalität ist die selbe wie gezeigt, man muss nur das Wörterbuch vorher entsprächend auswählen und kann es dann fortan nutzen um Worterklärungen einzublenden.
@ Vielen Dank für die Antwort. Dann muss ich das jetzt nur noch finden. Bis jetzt habe ich nur Wörterbücher zur Übersetzung gefunden und jedesmal über Google ins Internet dauert mir zu lange. Liebe Grüße
Ich ergänze nochmal: ich hab das Morphologieteil runtergeladen. Das macht in etwa das, was ich suche, ist aber grottenschlecht. Kann man nicht Wikipedia oder sowas einbinden?
@@Teeum5 Die Erklärungswörterbücher findest du normal in der Liste der neuen Wörterbücher die du hinzufügen kannst, Also z.B. Deutsch -> Deutsch.

Is Legimi pre-installed like the Era without color? Or do you still have to do it yourself? Is it easy or is it rather difficult to install? Really good video, thanks
I've looked into these devices that use this color display and while it's really interesting, I'm quite sure that if I buy one now, next generation will leave this one worthless. I'll stick to my b/w reader for now. The color ones also make the text in b/w less sharp so for me it's a deal breaker.
Can the charge covers' front flap flip back completely while reading? I always use my ereader with covers this way and if it can't,the charge cover will be a desk breaker.
Yes, you can flip it to the backside while reading (but not while charging). Not sure if I can describe this accurately, but here it goes: If you check out the design of the case, you see that the part that covers the grip area and buttons is foldable as well. Flipping the cover to the back, I also flip that smaller part for a more comfortable grip. Because otherwise the outer edge of it will always feel like it's in the way a bit imho.
I was very enthusiastic until I started trying to understand the reader/library software. Am I not able to use a Kindle app or to simply download my Kindle purchases without doing anything extra??? If not, the edifice crumbles like a sandcastle. Amazon has every book, academic or literary or popular. Or just send your pdf to your Kindle device. Great review, however! 😊
Yes, you can't directly use Kindle ebooks in here. Kindle is a closed ecosystem so he only other way without workarounds to read Kindle ebooks on a non-Kindle ereader is using the Kindle app on Android devices (like Boox for example).
Kobo libra colour has better saturation/contrast than boox tab mini c in 1 comparison (just like mini c compared to larger ultra). Surprised that the smaller era color doesn't show same improvement over the larger ink pad color.
Thinking about it, this has an extra flush protective layer compared to inkpad color 3 and libra colour which would explain why contrast takes a little hit.
Yes, that's possible. You need to pair the ereader and the remote, than go to the device's settings -> personalize -> key mapping -> epub/pdf and can just add the buttons you'd like to use.
I'm not sure where my comment went but technically speaking you can expand the storage via OTG which I feel is a reasonable compromise and it's surprising you didn't comment on it considering they do mention OTG on the product page of the Era Color.
Thanks for bringing that up - you make a fair point. Yes, the Era Color supports OTG, which somewhat compensates for the lack of a card slot. I didn't mention it because I generally try to focus on the most critical talking points, and OTG seems less commonly used and might need further explanation to most people. I didn't mention a few other interesting features like Send to PocketBook, Dropbox, PocketBook Cloud, and KOReader/Coolreader for similar reasons. Discussing these additional features would extend the review, adding another 5 to 10 minutes. This type of long in-depth 30+ minutes reviews Voja from MyDeepGuide already covers the best way possible. So I try to stick to a shorter, more condensed in-depth format, which means I need to cut a thing or two that aren't as important to the overall assessment of the device. But that's obviously always a balancing act and if I don't mention features that you feel would have been important to be included, I'm always happy to get a comment about it!
@@allenberrebbi8191 It really depends on your expectations. For E-Ink it is alright, but compared to a regular tablet, it's obviously slower. The two Star Trek comics I showcase in this video are converted CBR (Picard; 99MB) and CBZ (Lower Decks; 35 MB) files that I had no issues with.
I had mine for a few days. As much as I want to like it for its premium look, I returned it. And the screen is actually darker than Kobo Libra Color. When you increase the LED lights, it is very disproportional. There is a lot more light on the right side of the reader compared to the rest of it to the point becomes distracting. It is likely because of the flush screen rather than the hardware defect. Overall, the reading experience is noticeably better on Libra Color. Also, highlight text on PocketBook is an exercise and frustration.
That's true - the Libra Colour has both the slightly lighter screen without the frontlight and also the frontlight gets noticeably brighter. Also note taking especially with having the option to use a pen, is better on the Libra. However I wouldn't say that the frontlight is that much better on the Libra Colour compared to the Era Color. Both have brightness gradients - at least my devices I have here (both bought regularly). But there's typically a bit of variance with that from device to device.
Unfortunately only a capacitive pen works with the Era Color, but those have pretty large pen-tips so it's a very different experience compared to dedicated notetaking tablets (like the Kindle Scribe and others). For the occasional scribble it might be fine, but for regular notetaking I wouldn't recommend it.
@@ChalidRaqami It has a high refresh rate because it is a slightly different technology than e-ink. It's just the beginning, they'll get to color one day. But for now looks very promising.
Mostly no. It does support DRM-free AZW and AZW3 files, but Amazon doesn't use those anymore. So new Kindle ebooks can't be used directly without conversion.
Thanks for your thorough review. Does the pocketbook support overdrive/libby in the US? Also, at least to me the pocketbook era color next to either of the Kobo colours makes them look like old 1980’s gear? The pocketbook looks more modern and inline with the tech look of 2024. The kindle Oasis was ahead of its peers in 2019 with the way it was built. I have an Oasis and I believe the design of the pocketbook is what I like and if it supports overdrive/libby this is my pick.
I can't say for sure, since I can't test it, but the PocketBook browser allows to download files and PocketBook has Adobe DRM and LCP DRM support, so I suspect it will work. But best if you check directly with PocketBook on that one.
I've had both for a spell and decided to keep the b/w ERA. The contrast is much better and the frontlight is much more even! It was not something I could overlook...
True - I have another video where I generally talk about if color E-Ink is worth it and point out that for just reading B&W E-Ink is still the way to go.
Im gonna be honest here. All these current Color E-Ink Displays are not doing it for me. The colors are to dim witch takes away alot from reading comic books and the like. I feel like the current gen is for beta testing. Future releases will give us alot more saturated color displays.
I felt this way about previous Kaleido generation, but changed my mind when I first saw a Kaleido 3 screen and think it's actually a fair compromise. But it's still a compromise and I hope I made the downsides clear enough in my review for everyone to get a clear picture. Personally I'm happy to use Kaleido 3 and switching back to a black and white ereader/tablet can feel a bit outdated now.

Yep that's what i said more or less in some comments before, and i could choose my tablet because of him. So i'm back to support him.
Amazon needs to go for a Kindle Oasis color with pen.

You should compare it with the BW version because color eBooks are not as good as the BW ones. The contrast is pretty bad when reading text.
I've had both for a spell and decided to keep the b/w ERA. The contrast is much better and the frontlight is much more even! It was not something I could overlook...
True - I have another video where I generally talk about if color E-Ink is worth it and point out that for just reading B&W E-Ink is still the way to go.
damn no sd card slot
The angled bezel is a feature of the Kobo Libra and Kindle Oasis since many years.
32 gigs of non-expandable internal storage is disappointing for an e-reader for which one of the primary use cases is reading comics.
Do we actually need a color E-reader?
Yes for reading comics.
Anything with color illustrations. magazines/articles/manuals/comics. If you don't read any color content then sure you better off with b/w e-reader.
Bought this and have regrets - too dark, will try to do a cashback
you are probably from germany .You can directly hear that
Austria ;)
Im gonna be honest here. All these current Color E-Ink Displays are not doing it for me. The colors are to dim witch takes away alot from reading comic books and the like. I feel like the current gen is for beta testing. Future releases will give us alot more saturated color displays.
