I've really been enjoying this e-reader. The size is convenient, especially for reading at night. It's extremely lightweight. The front light quality, though not warm, is easy on the eyes. It's fully adjustable, and the brightness can be scheduled automatically and by the hour. The ergonomic buttons are placed perfectly, at the bottom of the reader. It's possible to add an SD card to the reader, but I haven't yet done so. The menus and placement of them are customizable. There are widgets, including games, and I especially enjoy Sudoku. I'm currently reading a book I checked out via the included web browser, from my local library. It's also possible to load your books via USB or from the PocketBook cloud service. The battery in this reader doesn't last as long as it might on a more well-known reader, but I changed the setting on mine to keep it from shutting off. Even with it just sleeping, instead, it lasts for a good long time. This will be subjective, based on how long and how often each reader reads. The touch screen is responsive, and you can turn pages either that way or with the buttons. You can add notes and highlights. I recommend, because the reader feels so light, that you put a cover on it to protect it. It's a great reader, and I'm not giving up a thing by replacing my better-known reader with it. In fact, I'm losing the ads and gaining more features and convenience.

No problems. Works well. Nice and compact and lightweight. You can use it as paper white (with no light) or you can turn the light on.

So, I wanted a bare bones eEeader that I could use without connecting it to the internet or a particular service (like Kobo or Kindle). I already have a large collection of ePubs, more than I'll probably ever finish reading, so connecting to online stores is not a need for me. The Pocketbook is perfect in that respect. Once you get past the obligatory initial setup, all you have to do is connect it to your PC, drop and drag your ePubs onto the eReader's hardrive and off to the races you go. It's light. Comfortable to hold. Easy to use. It *is* a little quirky though... It says *Basic* but there are a lot of settings that can be adjusted, and some defaults that were perplexing to me. Like the long presses on page turning that moves the page 10 pages forward or back, by default. It actually irked me. This can be turned off though, so, no harm no foul. The build quality is fine, but the buttons feel cheap and misaligned when holding it at certain angles. Also, for the price I would expect a little more RAM installed to make the device zippier when looking through your library. As is, it functions ok but flickers and stutters book cover images to keep up. Reading ePubs is good enough. And though the RAM speed impedes loading of PDFs, they're mostly readable too. I primarily got this for my old ePubs and Mobi files though. As is, I feel like the Basic is a good value at a lower price point. It is an international eReader though, so many of the extra services (like library access) might not be available to you if that's what you're seeking. For those of us who already have a large ePub collection, that's not a con. Lack of RAM is though, given how inexpensive RAM is nowadays. Also, the 8 gigs provided on the device are eaten up by the OS. And there a lot of eBooks already loaded on the HD of classic work that you'll probably want to delete. Like older Kindles, this device is fragile, (they aren't kidding). So people who mindlessly toss their stuff around or choose to give this to a kid with grubby hands, or to their pets to chew on, should stay far away. A protective slip case should be your next purchase. There are many on the Zon that are cheap and do just fine. I like this device. It works perfectly for my needs. I like that adding an Ebook from my PC is a straight forward affair, just drag and drop. It'll probably last a long time if you are gentle with your things. 🙏✌️

Bought this e-reader and a protective case (separately) directly from PocketBook, and it was great. Then.. It fell literally about 12 inches of the corner of my bed and the screen broke, even with the 29$ so called 'protective' case. While I understand these things do need to be handled with care, but to break from a simple fall of a foot, all while clad in a protective case?! That's not reasonable. PocketBooks warrant page indicates that I'm not qualified for replacement, so I called a local repair person, they said it would cost 70$ to replace the screen, and that I should probably just buy a new one. Idk about PocketBooks other products, but this particular e-reader at least is absolute junk. Giving it 1 star, because while it lasted I actually enjoyed the product.

We wanted a basic e-reader without all of the additional stuff that a lot of them have. Didn't want Bluetooth, didn't want Internet, just wanted to read books. This one can work without ever being connected to the wifi and doesn't have any extra bells and whistles and that's exactly what we wanted, so it's great. Functionality is good, screen size is good, no backlight only front light is good, navigation is easy, battery life is good. We're all around pleased.

i've always loved to read. i used to carry books with me to school and i do the same with work now, except things have become too heavy for my back and sometimes the small print is hard for me to read (i would switch to large print if the books weren't so big/heavy). this little device makes things much easier all around. i can have so many book on me at once without destroying my back lol, i can zoom in if i want to read without glasses on, and i can dim or increase the screen brightness without hurting my eyes since it's an e-ink screen. since i can't access the pocketbook store due to being in the united states, i just get e-pub versions of books i want to read, tweak the files a bit in calibre, and put them on a micro sd card that i insert into the device to increase my space. this is my first e-reader and i really do love it.
