PocketBook Touch HD 3 | Audio- & E-Book Reader | 6ʺ Glare-Free & Eye-Friendly E-Ink Screen | Text-to-Speech Function | Bluetooth | Adaptive SMARTlight | IPX8 Waterproof | E-Reader, Spicy Copper

Ive owned this model for a year, I didnt buy it on this site, it wasnt available on Amazon at the time, but I did buy a kindle a few months earlier (then I bought my pocketbook). It was my 5th Kindle and boy have they gone downhill. I was so disappointed and frustrated with my new kindle and Amazons horrible response I looked elsewhere and stumbled upon the pocketbook. Its a pleasure to read on it - and I use it daily. You can alter the light -brightness and tone! You can choose dozens of languages for your keyboard, and there is no ghost text (a huge problem with kindle). The bookstore isnt worthwhile if youre in the US - a def. disappointment. The dictionary isnt the best - but you can import another one. Unlike the kindle - you have options! (I wish it would offer a different book social media service, the one they used is geared towards Eastern Europeans and is therefore useless for me. But those are extra features. If you just want awesome ereader. This is it.

This is a great little reader that - out of the box - took maybe a couple of minutes to set up. It is light weight and easily able to be held in one hand for long reading sessions. The page turn buttons are on the bottom which I found more comfortable to use than a reader with them on the side. The screen is crisp and responsive with even lighting. The thing I like the best is that when you slide your finger up and down the right side it adjusts the screen light and sliding your finger on the left side adjusts the warm light. This means you can keep reading while you are making the adjustments. There are a lot of customizations you can make including having the cover of the book you are currently reading on the sleep screen. This reader when first turned on comes very quickly awake which means there is no long wait before you can start reading again. If you download the Pocketbook app on your ipad or computer you can easily add books to this device. Very, very happy with this reader.

The PocketBook Touch HD 3 is a very good reader, but support or help for the United States user is very hard to get. I have other readers from Kindle, Nook, Kobo and their e-Book stores are very easy to purchase and load books on their units. PocketBook is focused on the European market, the process to get e-books is not as straightforward. Unfortunately it is going back.

It didn’t do the one thing I needed. Connect to Scribd. Returned.

Screen broke after just over a month. Ive owned numerous Kindles over years and never had this issue. The Pocketbook is super thin and light, but that has clearly come at the cost of structural integrity. A gentle fall off a table previously also popped the back panel of the device off. The screen broke after being in a back pocket and walking around (not being sat on or dropped). Also, the device takes approximately 6 seconds to turn on when in sleep mode (not from full power off). Compared to the Kindles nearly instant power on, this is pretty unacceptable. All that said, the adjustable temperature light is great, and the touch screen works very well. And as mentioned, the device is wonderfully light and thing. Only other thing Id change is make the touch screen flush with the device face. It is slightly recessed making touching the very edge of the screen somewhat tricky.

I dont seem to have an y problem loading apps on to other devices but this thing.......I have had no luck what so ever! Maneuvering on this is a true test of patience......I paid top dollar but will sell for $20 in a heartbeat! There are other device far more user friendly than this....stay away!!!

I love it for easy to carry and read.

Takes long to turn off when you please the power putting instead of going to sleep quickly, got stuck once and did not shut of or respond to navigation and it comes from the Netherlands so it takes a while and hard to return.

Ive tried every eReader out there and this is still my favorite. The size is perfect. The battery life is great. The variety of book formats you can download is phenomenal. If you want to move away from Amazon, this is the way to go. Just wish they would become more familiar in the US. This is a Swedish based company, I believe. Excellent products.
