    The SD card slot that the Poke5 has but Kobo doesn't have is what makes it not waterproof. Anyway, great review.

    I have multiple library cards too and ran into the same issue on my Kobo. I made an overdrive account, associated all my cards, and logged into each card individually on my Kobo. I check out my books on Libby and, more often than not, they do show up on my Kobo. Maybe that will work for you? Great review! So refreshing to see e-reader reviews that aren’t for kindles.

    Thanks for the review. Have you messed with the optimation of fonts app to app? Makes a mountain of difference in regard to enjoyment when you curate each app, especially turning off that awful bold font on the regular settings on apps. Always appreicate perspectives from different types of users/readers. You can shut off apps, wifi, bluetooth and you'll likely get much more time out of it.

    I find that I don’t ever have any issues when it comes to waterproof circumstances, I am way to precious with all of my book related things, and most of my things in general for it to be that big of a concern. But I figure a good waterproofing case should solve the issue

  • @TrailBlazer5280
    @TrailBlazer5280 3 місяці тому +1

    The Poke5 is exactly the size and type I'm looking for but I'd also like to write and use it for productivity things. not a laptop level of productivity but just managing the calendar, note writing, check lists and things like that. Its hard to tell how well it will work but having google store at least measn I can access info on multiple devices, so i'm really leaning toward this one even if its underpowered compared to others.

    I’m thinking either getting the libra 2 or this boox 5. Which one would you choose if you had to choose?

    • @CarbonBondedBooks
      @CarbonBondedBooks  7 місяців тому +1

      That’s almost the setup I currently have! (I also have a Libra H2O). I love both readers and I think deciding between the two really depends on how you want to use it. The Libra is quite a bit larger and doesn’t fit in my purse or Fanny pack the way the Poke does. The Libra works great with overdrive if you get ebooks from the library, but the poke is better if you get books from lots of different sources. The Libra is waterproof, but the poke has extendable storage. Let me know if you have any questions!

      I've also found that the Kindle app usually works better for ebooks than Libby, so that's how I've been sending my Libby ebooks to Kindle as well

    • @ChloeFrizzle
      @ChloeFrizzle 8 місяців тому

      I think my favorite thing about the Boox is how open it is. I have so many apps on there, like Google docs and bible study, and that's not something you can do with most ereaders

    Thank you for this great review
    My Poke5 has a big problem
    Battery draining.
    When I don’t use it for a week , the battery percentage decreases from 90% to 10%.
    Something that is much less battery draining on my boox note air2
    And on my Kindle devices (Oasis , Basic , Scribe and specifically on paperwhite ) never seen.
    I hope this battery issue be fixed by a new firmware update.
    How about yours?

    May 2024. I was already sold on getting this and then the colored e- readers started blowing up. Now, I'm waiting to hear any news if Boox will be making a colored version of Poke 5. 😫

    • @CarbonBondedBooks
      @CarbonBondedBooks  2 місяці тому

      Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see. I don’t know if color would add anything to my personal reading experience but I can see how it would be great for manga and comic fans!

    Are you located in Canada? I’m looking for an e reader that’s comparable with Libby audiobooks

    • @CarbonBondedBooks
      @CarbonBondedBooks  7 місяців тому

      I am not unfortunately. This model doesn’t have speakers, but I believe some of the kobo models have Bluetooth to connect to speakers and headphones and they work well with Libby!

  • @JoeAnshien
    @JoeAnshien 6 місяців тому +2

    Thanks - Your setup was helpful to see, though you may want to cover your e-mail address. It sounds like your not the typical e-book reader just using Kobo, Nook or Kindle. I had never heard of Netgalley arc before. I never use highlighting, footnotes and notes.
