He’s affraid he won’t be able to get all his books from different places to Pocketbook and they think Kindle is the best for that. FOR REAL?! Kindle is the most limited device ever. Every book you didn’t buy at Amazon you have to convert and it’s just so messy. Pocketbook is the most open reader that allows you to read pretry much any document you own or download. What a stupid video.

How about vital Info that you can charge Pocketbook 2-3 time less often and have much better navigation than kindle or Kobo?)

[presterjohn]

I don't get this film at all. Why are they not using a new Amazon device for the test?

[catalincalin]

Pocketbook is the best. Maybe you make a comparison betwen color gadget from Kindle and Kobo (if they have one) vs Pocketbook. Marketing is at the first place.

[muskndusk]

They should have compared the PocketBook and Oasis against the more equivalent, but cheaper, Kobo Libra.

Said nothing about side loading, said nothing about file formats, said nothing about the actual features bad vid

If you cancel your amazon account they delete all of your books...

"I'll tell you what... let's buy a second-hand Kindle and then it will win on the fact it's much cheaper to buy". What a load of rubbish!!!

[Balithazzarr]

I’m glad I learned the pocketbook is the way to go because anyone with device experience also knows weight is everything and the new pocketbook is light.

[jurandfantom]

btw. reading against direct light? key point of smart ink technology is, it works like ink - those micro black pearls of ink absorb light so than brighter than better. Its hard to compare ebooks :)

[gianlucacupo]

Bought a pocketbook inkpad 3 two years ago, it gets soo slow with time, stay away !

[matejblaha]

Pocketbook was the only one with colourful display here, how can you compare it to the black and white display and say it has lower contrast? And what about any of the system features and limitation? This video doesn't say anything new to someone who is already using any e-reader.

[stumpusMaximus]

Never covered that if your a prime member, you get 3 free books per month and can read all prime books in the borrowed library.
