They do have their own bookstore, BookLand, but it has almost no English titles. One thing different between them and Tolinos and Kobos is that most models still have microSD slots and page turn buttons. I think, just like Tolinos and Kobos, their hardware is made by Netronix. I wouldn't mind trying out a PocketBook eReader some time, but they're kind of like Tolinos in the U.S. Are there any advantages that Pocketbook has over Kobo, and vice versa? What type of people do Pocketbook and Kobo suit? In terms of software, or hardware, like lighting and battery? Pocketbook is like a whole new thing to me. Just figured I'd start this thread because I'm wondering how good Pocketbook is. But honestly either one is great, for me. I'm getting older, so "older eyes", and I'd say that for that reason alone, I read the 7" Libra more than the 6" Touch HD3. Your location, HolyAura, says Singapore so for you it might be easier to get a Pocketbook than someone in the U.S. I'm in the U.S., and the pocketbook was more of a "I just want to try it" type of thing so I didn't mind that last year, when there wasn't the fun stuff going on like right now, even then it was about a 3 week wait for delivery, from ordering. I don't play with margins or fonts that much either, sorry so can't answer if there are a lot of choices (or not) for that on the Pocketbook. It's not that the Libra is awful just that the Pocketbook seems to need less recharging. Is it because I have some Kobo additions like the miniclock, which add just that little bit extra battery drain? Maybe I don't know. One thing I like about the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 is that for me at least with no scientific or even casual measurement, it 'feels like' the battery lasts longer on the Pocketbook. The sizes are fine for me-either the 6 or the 7" are fine for me. Nothing against swiping, I'll do that as well, but the buttons are just something I like. I like both for the same reasons: I like having actual buttons for page turning. on my nightstand is a Touch HD3, and the Kobo Libra, which I interchange depending upon what I'm reading at the time. I don't do audio books (yet, maybe one day I will). I sideload everything although since I started w/Kindle, when I buy books, I buy via Amazon and then sideload to the other devices. I have Kindles, Kobos, and yes, a Pocketbook Touch HD3. I can compare only what I can see from sites, I own a Kobo (Aura One) but I don't own a PocketBook, if there is someone who owns them both and wants to write something, he/she can give a more precise opinion. And again a Dual Core processor for InkPad3 Pro.īut of course the prices of the devices depend on where You are. In general it is not simple to compare prices because the features are not exactly the same (a little larger screen for Forma and 16GB of space instead of 8GB for InkPad 3 Pro). The difference is not enormous here and PocketBook InkPad 3 Pro has some feature like audio support (Bluetooth with support for MP3 M4B and OGG) that someone could like. Kobo Forma Touch Screen 8 GB Wi-Fi, IPX8. PocketBook InkPad 3 Pro, reader e-Book, 16 GB display E-Ink Carta da 7,8", SMARTlight, Wi-Fi, IPX8 € 291.99 Here If We take a Clara and a 'Touch HD 3 there is a substantial difference (119 € against 170 €) but the device is different: audio support, a Dual Core (2 × 1 GHz) processor for Touch H3D. In some places, two Claras would cost little more than one of the nearest Pocketbook equivalent. Pocketbook is hard to buy from in much of the world, and the prohibitive shipping costs make the already expensive devices very much more so. I think one big advantage Kobo has is availability.
