Recently got their era color and love it as a reader. Perfect size and I'm not noticing much ghosting in comics when I read with quite e bit light on. However till now I'm loving it
Just purchased the as-yet unreviewed (!) PocketBook Color Note (with a 10-inch screen) on a Black Friday sale. Looks like great competition for the smaller Note 3.
Can you do a full comparison between the three options you mentioned in this video (Mini C, PB, and the BM) and maybe add a full B/W option as well to compare the battery and readability differences between the Kaleido screens and a strict E-Ink?
This is great. I have a 10.3inch devixe that I love but am hoping to add a companion Ereader device thats a bit smaller and easier to carry around. What i can't decide is if I am someone who if given the opportunity to annotate digital fiction books actually would use thay feature. Thats the only thing i think i would color for in an ereader. It is actually the reason i bought my Note Air 3C and i have enjoyed reading on it. But don't actually use that feature much with fiction. Non fiction books I so taie notes and highlight a lot. But if I can already do that on my 10" device is it actually something i need/want the ability to do on a smaller device specifically for reading? Questions questions questions. All the time.
I actually recently tried this device. It’s almost the perfect size for just reading for me, but I ended up returning it because the ghosting on full color pages (especially with comics) was really distracting and hard to move past. Even with tweaks to the settings I still had issues with the previous page’s panel borders showing up on the next page. I know other manufacturers have done other things to get the ghosting to clear up a bit while keeping the refresh time down - I hope there’s another ereader in this form factor with those tweaks soon.
Unfortunately the colour ghosting is a real problem on the kaleido 3 screen. Have a look at my recent Boox Vs Bigme comparison. It shows really clearly the difficulty in keeping colour areas clean.
The buttons are on the right for the Era Colour; this one has them on the bottom part of the ereader. The Era Colour also has a flush screen while this one has a recessed screen, although a tempered glass screen protector might negate the difference. For some reason the Era seemed slower than the Inkpad Color 3, so I ended up keeping the bigger sized ereader. But I could be quibbling about a few seconds in delay than what it actually is in reality so the Era is still overall a good ereader.
Yeah good. I think the black and white panels use less energy, and the battery size isn't huge in order to keep it light, but you'll certainly be able to finish a big book on one charge!

The pogo pins work with Pocketbook’s Qi charging case.
Thanks for this! 🙂
I'd love to see how this compares to the Kobo Libra Colour.
I'd love to make that comparison! I'll see what I can do!

Yes, yes I can, watch this space.
review for the pocketbook inkpad eo pls? :)
I'd like to, yep. It's a similar machine to the Bigme Inknote. It'll be interesting to see what they've done with the software side of things!
@@KitBetts-Masters Would love to see this too Kit. Esp. compared to the Note Air 3C.
Can it “sketch”
bro

Is it possible to highlight PDFs on the InkPad and export the hightlights as a textfile afterwards?
I wonder how different the PocketBook Era Colour is from this!
Pretty similar I expect, just smaller!

Hows the battery life??…im considering getting one
Yeah good. I think the black and white panels use less energy, and the battery size isn't huge in order to keep it light, but you'll certainly be able to finish a big book on one charge!
I have this and several Kindles and the battery life is better than any Kindle I've owned.
If only this size had a note pen
