Title: Pocketbook Inkpad Lite - Love it!
Review: My Likebook Mars Android e-reader stopped charging after 4+ years of regular use and this Pocketbook Inkpad Lite was bought as a replacement.Pros:-9.7" screen. The resolution on this is lower than most other modern e-readers at just 150 ppi which concerned me when ordering but it's fine for reading books. I first bought an e-reader due to my eyesight getting to the point where I couldn't read small paperback text without reading glasses and I can read everything fine on this screen and can't tell a difference between the quality when reading epub books on this screen vs the quality of the 300 ppi screen on my old Likebook.-It boots quickly. It did seem to hang a bit on first boot, but that was due to it organizing all of the ebooks on my memory card- mostly in epub format - on first boot.-Has a microSD card slot, which made it easy to move all my books from my old e-reader to this one.-OS easy to figure out and change settings to my preferences. Can set font and font size for use with all of your books vs my Lifebook where you had to set it on a book by book basis. Didn't like some of the default settings - especially where you touched the screen to turn back a page - and was easily able to change to my liking.-USB-c charging. Nice being able to charge with same cable/charger as most of my other newer devices.-Backlight works well to see all text in the dark and can be adjusted to your personal preferences.-Cover - bought seperately - can close cover to put it to sleep.Neutral:-Physical buttons that can be used to turn the pages. Nice feature I guess, but still find it easier to just touch the screen. Do like where the power on button is compared to my old Likebook where that button was on the bottom and I would frequently turn it off by mistake - not an issue with this Pocketbook.-Not as customizable as Andriod e-reader. But 99% of my use on my Android e-reader was reading books in epub format and this works great for that.-Changing the defaults seems to take a few minutes to register. Thought at first my changes weren't being registered but they were.Summary:This is the 5th ereader that I've owned and so far it's far and away my favorite. It boots quickly, I love the size, and its easy to navigate. It may not have some of the features of some others, but it works great for reading books in epub format, which is what makes up the majority of my e-library.

Title: Absolutely Delighted... and It Even Translates!!
Review: I am just thrilled that I can now easily read all of my my math, science, and art books!!! No more micro-pages!!! The screen is crisp and the back lighting is very good. You can adjust practically any setting to your preference. Yes, it is a little sluggish on boot-up, but once it's up and running, it turns even the most bit-dense pdf pages plenty fast enough. It comes pre-loaded with a number of classic works in a couple of dozen languages.Note: Only the file format FAT32 is supported for the SD card. Windows systems want to format anything larger than 32GB using exFAT, which is not supported. (No problem for 32GB and smaller.) You *can* format your 64GB SD card using FAT32 by employing Windows Powershell or a third-party tool. Use your favorite search engine to locate instructions or the 3rd party formatting tool. Be careful to format the correct drive, not drive C. If you are unsure, get some help.Here's the bonus: As I was reading an epub book in French, I highlighted a word and a context menu appeared. I tapped the little dictionary icon *** and it gave me the English translation!*** What a wonderful feature! This wonderful device makes reading easy in *every* respect.I'd highly recommend getting a case for this reader. Its outside dimensions are 9 3/8" x 6 7/8". Enjoy!

Title: Only Two Flaws...
Review: I bought two of these in May - my Wife and I have been using them daily since then.I'm not aware of anything with a better screen at a better price. The size is just enough to read most PDFs without any zooming, and the bezel gives a comfortable handle for the device.My only two gripes are:1) The buttons are all but invisible... even small markings would help, but a creative person can probably solve this on their own.2) The power-up time is painful. You hold the power button for two seconds, and it takes about four more seconds before the device shows any activity. In the meantime, you're left to wonder if it recognized the power-on, because sometimes it doesn't.Otherwise, I love this thing. Color would be nice, but it wasn't worth the contrast and size trade-offs that I'd have to make at this price point. I'm still hoping that they might fix the power-on problem with an update (just flashing the backlight or charging indicator would do it), but I have no regrets.PocketBook doesn't seem to have much of a presence in the US, but their customer service has been responsive and helpful.

Title: All major ebook's formats supported
Review: I bought this ebook as a Christmass gift to myself and must say - it is the best gift for last 10 years. This is my 5th ebook and first one which has EVERYTHING right out of the box. My library id mostly in fb2 format which is not supported by Kindle or Kobo. Pocketbook reads it as native. PDF, RTF, DJVU, DOC, TXT, the other formats I have my books in - read without any issue. The book has only 8Gb internal memory, but it was enough to put there already 1500 files. Plus there is a micro sd card slot for up to 128 Gb which I intend to use soon. Battery works very solid - I spent whole evening yesterday by reading and it didn't even drop charge by 5%. Touch screen is very responsive and scaling fonts is very easy - it is just pleasure to my eyes to set comfortable font. In general it is very good and reliable ebook. I recommend it to anyone who likes to read, you will enjoy and never regret.

Title: Good reader, but difficult with darker pages
Review: While the device is a good reader, its size unexpectedly makes balance a bit difficult while reading. Also, dark pages are a bit hard to read, perhaps due to its lower resolution. This affects reading comics, for instance, tough.

Review: Quiero dejar de comprar libros fÃsicos, pero no me animaba por el tamaño de pantalla de los lectores digitales. Este lector solucionó mi problema. Además, le dura mucho la baterÃa y es fácil enviarle libros a través del correo.

Review: My wife suffered an injury which left her unable to see properly for nearly two years. (Everything was fuzzy and eye glasses didn't help. Scary stuff. -Thankfully, her vision has slowly regenerated and now 90% back to normal). For the first few months, she was effectively blind. Things got better, but it wasn't possible to read anything but huge text.I got her this reader and cranked the font size. She cried. It allowed her to read again. Yeah, a full page of text was only about 8 lines long, but it was possible.So.., my positive feelings toward this reader are colored by some emotion, but I think I can objectively say that it's a well engineered device. Solidly built, the screen is gorgeous, the OS isn't buggy nonsense like I've experienced with other readers. Good battery life. It's basically a standard high-quality e-reader. And it's big. And it wasn't nine hundred dollars like all the others at the time I bought it. (Honestly, it was half the price of competitors, and that felt too good to be true. Turns out to have been the exception to that cynical rule. Sometimes something really is that good.)I will offer one criticism; Personally, I don't like the placement of the physical buttons, (My own little 7" Kobo Libra perfected the ergonomics of the button and the "how-do-I-hold-it?" problem). But my wife doesn't use the buttons, preferring the touch screen feature, so for her it's a non-issue.In any case, we both love the InkPad Lite.Recommended.

Review: sono molto soddisfatto di questo reader che uso da oltre 6 mesi. Lo schermo di grosse dimensioni rende particolarmente agevole la lettura di qualsiasi genere di file, ma il vantaggio maggiore rispetto all'uso di lettori con schermi piu piccoli (di 6 / 8 pollici) si nota leggendo libri in formato pdf, nonchè testi contenenti schemi, diagrammi e naturalmente con i fumetti. la qualità dello schermo è molto buona, installando nello slot SD una memoria da 128GB si ha spazio per una quantità sterminata di libri. il software è molto buono e gestisce senza problemi anche librerie veramente corpose. Lo consiglio!!

Review: Zuvor: Ich habe jahrelang den Reader des deutschen Platzhirsches benutzt, eins der ersten Modelle, später den Vision 6. Beide sind im Laufe der Zeit arbeitsunfähig geworden. Bei beiden war, jedenfalls bei mir, ein relativ häufiges Problem das Einfrieren des Bildschirms, so dass zunächst jedes Mal ein Reset gemacht werden musste, was nervig war. Beim Vision war seltsam, dass man beim Ein - und Ausschalter keinen Druckpunkt spüren konnte, so dass man halt so lange drückte, bis das Gerät reagierte. Ist Geschichte, da ein neues Teil her musste, und zwar eins mit möglichst groÃem Display, wobei wir noch einen kleinen Pocket haben, für den analog eine gute Bewertung angezeigt ist. - Der groÃe reagiert gut und ausreichend schnell auf Tasten, auch der Touchscreen funktioniert gut, das Schriftbild ist einstellbar und klar, die Beleuchtung regelbar, riesiger Speicher, wohl mit allen oder fast allen Formaten kompatibel, Buchhandelsoffen, Onleihe, sehr lange Akkulaufzeit, gute Ãbersicht und Suchfunktion in der Bibliothek. Das Gerät ist wegen seiner GröÃe relativ schwer, was aber gut kompensiert werden kann, wenn man sich eine passende Hülle zulegt, z.B die hier https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0CTMHGZ4B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, die mal wirklich durchdacht ist, da das Gerät mit dieser im Quer- und Hochformat benutzt werden kann. - Nettes Feature ist, dass man sein eigenes Bild für den Ruhe- bzw. Wachmodus einstellen kann. . Den Service hatte ich wegen einer Bedienungsfrage per Mail kontaktiert und binnen eines Tages Hilfe erhalten. Trotz hohen Preises Kaufempfehlung nach ca. 2-monatiger beanstandungsfreier Nutzung
