A New ERA is Here | Pocketbook Era 2022 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2024
- The Pocketbook Era has undergone a total redesign from their past products. It looks sleek. The Buttons have been removed from the bottom and now the page turns are on the side of the unit. This has resulted in the bezels being slimmer.
In this review we take a look at the UI, reading experience, store and everything this brings to the table.

It would be very nice to see a little comparision of text crispness/contrast between PB Era and anything from these one: Kobo Libra 2, Onyx Boox Leaf, Paperwhite 5 and (or Oasis 3). All these models have Carta 1200 (except Oasis with it's exclusive Carta screen). Software looks quite smooth and promising.
is it true, paperwhite 5 have carta 1200?
@@evgeniy4831 It seems to be true. The PW 5 has a noticeable increase in contrast and speed - comparable to other official Carta 1200 devices.
As for the Oasis - it has something like premium Carta 1000 screen, very close to regular Carta 1200.
I would like to see premium Carta 1200 from Amazon ))
@@kostiantynbabenko353 It seems odd that kindle does not indicate that, they use the new e-ink Carta 1200, while the new pocketbook era, kobo tells about this
Yes.
It's 300ppi.. pretty sure kobo libra 2 is the same.
Ps. As a kobo libra owner (not the second version which released shortly after I got mine lol)
The kobo libra is absolutely fantastic.
I want a ereader that has the menu and ease of use of kobo. Also their KEPUB format is great on kobo readers. But with brushed aluminium over plastic.
I'm so tempted to buy another ereader as a backup. It will give me an excuse to buy a slightly newer and faster ereader. But also I need to stop spending so kuch money lol
Really really considering buying this one, been wanting an e reader for a while now I was just waiting on Amazon to release an updated oasis mostly just because I really want usb c not micro usb but looks like I can just get this one instead!
@@injo476 yes I bought one maybe a month after this comment. I have no complaints at all and it is pretty much exactly what I wanted in an e reader. I will say that it is my very first one so I don’t have much to compare it to although my brother has the oasis from years ago and I do notice that the pocketbook is a bit slower and lags a bit more at times but I don’t mind it much at all.
I prefer a screen size of 8" inch (7.8"), would be nice if they chose this size. I hope to see a device like this with 8" color screen and it would be perfect for me
you'd find another reason why it isn't perfect
Well you are basically describing Pocketbook Viva which is coming soon
How do you know its "super stable" and "it will never crash on you"? Have you used it for a long time to be able make such statements? Or have you collected data showing this device never has any software faults?
They haven't lol. Probably experience from previous reviews
My guess he means compared to ereaders where you can use a different app to read.
Wow you must be fun at parties
Yeah, very bold and biased statements. In fact, Pocketbooks are not built as quality products as Kindle, if compared. I myself owned few models of PB, and they had horrible assembly quality and the internal construction wasn't as good as as other books. I doubt Era has much improved in that sense. The worst thing about the PB company is that they're deliberately not using any screen protection plate (they exist at least in Kindle devices) attaching battery directly to the back of the screen making it super sensitive to even slight pressure or deformation of battery. This leads to screen breakage, which PB never accepts as warranty case, but replacement can be carried out only by them, because of the uniquely tuned screens, this procedure can't be done at home.
@@atexnik you made bold statements as well
As a matter of fact you can add other ebook reader apps, at least on the PB Color I use Koreader daily. I think I'ts just a matter of weeks/months to have the same app on the ERA. At least I hope so :)
pb color which version 1,2,3 ? is it support pen to highlight texts or write some words notes in the book?
@@beast5556 I have the original Pocketbook Color (PB633), you can highlight, underline or draw on the pages of add notes in the factory ebook reader. However I never tried to export these... I only use Koreader because of the night mode feature.
How can I read books from Kobo or other book stores?
I'm still using my Pocketbook Pro 902. I just wish I could afford to upgrade it.
Can you make a comparison video pocketbook era vs kobo libra 2
unfortuantely no, the next comparison we are doing is vs the Kindle as that has the most relevancy
thank you
@@goodereader when will the comparison video be released?) looks like paperwhite 5 is still faster
I like that it has physical buttons, but I personally don't like the large side bezel look.
lil bit similar with oasis tbh
Believe me you do. There is a reason why so many ereaders have that, many ereaders are very uncomfortable for not having that. .
The side bezel gives you something to hold on too without being awkward or uncomfortable
(I have a kobo libra)
What about contrast of ink cwrta 1200? Against PB Inkpad 3. I owe inkpad 3 with e ink carta hd and have that feeling that contrast in my old PB Touch Lux 3 was better than in Inkpad
Im stuck between this one and Lite same price, which one would you choose?
How's the internet browsing experience? Is it responsive? Can you darken the contrast while in the browser for those websites with a very light font color?
Hello, everyone!
I hope maybe one of you can help me finding the right e-reader for my needs.
I'm looking for an e-reader that's compatible with books in English, German and Swedish, can be used at no risk while bathing and is sturdy enough to withstand beinh carried around in my backpack every day.
My eyes are fit (no glasses needed) and I'm looking to spend about an hour a day reading.
Taking notes is a plus but not necessary since I love taking notes manually using pen and paper.
Many thanks!
Have they fixed the touch inputs yet? In the Touch lux HD it would often misclick to the left of where you actually clicked, making typing really annoying. It's also extremely slow to type, so it was difficult to make notes and use the web browser.
Have you experienced the ERA display problems as mentioned in another YT video called "Pocketbook Era Screen Review - It's Not Good" ?
I wouldn't give it too much credit. The video basically just covers the complaints about how less bold the text is compared to other competitors like kobo or kindle. But it seems to be more of a personal preference from this person as they are just used to thicker text then a general flaw. I also read comments from people who solved this problem by just choosing another font. And I think it is too strong of a statement to call Era's screen "bad" just for that. If you turn the volume of this youtube video down and do not listen to what speaker says, the only difference I noticed is that kobo or kindle have smooth screen, when Era has edge light that becomes visible at night, but that's all.
There is also a gradient problem on the screen people talk about, but some say it won't be even noticable if they did not hear it from others.
As a device Era is much like advansed kobos or kindles but considering all said above about its screen, I put it for myself that Era is just more similar to a real book then other ereaders of the same class.
@@xaemaez Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I ended up not buying any e-reader because I was really interested in Era's features but didn't want to risk not liking the screen.
Hola, acabo de comprar el Pocketbook ERA y no puedo pasar ningunlibro, le conecto alPC y no reacciona, no hace nada, no sale pantallalla alguna. Me puedes ayudar por favor
Saw the MP3 files and wondered... does this support OPUS? That'd be much better for larger audiobook collections.
PocketBook is Ukrainian company with the main office in Switzerland I guess
Question: does it have a "night mode" feature? White text/black background.
FYI - unfortunately, the support says it does not.
No, it does not.
Yes, it does, ever since a software update.
I’m missing some estimation about battery life when you disable all connectivy and lights
The buttons are all on the right side, can it be re-oriented for left-handed or even horizontal use?
It can. No worries.
Can a take a note with stylus?
Does this device have an app that would make it useful for calendar, reminders, can you save notes in folders?
I would want to very much give Pocketbook a 2nd try but I'm afraid it wouldn't last 6 months like the Touch Luxe I bought... 😔
I used my last one for 10 years lol, it died recently, now using my second one, hope it will work for the next 10 years!
Anyone who bought this device, how is the battery usage you are seeing? I average about 5% battery usage an hour, and I personally think that is very poor for an ereader :(
Thanks for this good review . Seems to be very interesting e reader . But is there night mode ?
No, it doesn't have it
It does.
Great design ! but I will keep on using kobo with koreader...
Can I search for Text in the Pdf with this?
What's faster? Era vs onyx boox Nova vs Paperwhite 2021?
In any case Onyx Boox Nova 👍.
@@l.t.6402 I always thought pw 5 was the fastest😞
These are two completely different devices.
Era is slow
Hi. How can I transfer a book purchased from Amazon to this reader?
Is this screen better than kobo libra 2?
@Good e-Reader Is there any way to sync to a Google Docs file like on the Kobo Libra 2?
I'm contemplating getting one or the other. I like the PocketBook Era design wise, but I need that functionality.
Will i be able to use this in india???
Is the battery life any good?
Does anyone know if it is possible to listen to RUclips podcasts on it?
No RUclips.
This is Linux
I mean in the web browser.
Generally on Linux it is possible to play RUclips videos (in my case the focus is on podcasts)
I am just not sure if this is limited on the reader.
I wish Kobo could make a Kobo Libra with a metal/aluminium shell..I love my kobo to death and want a second kobo as a backup. But I really really want one that's metal
Like the kindle Oasis ahaha
Is this a review or a commercial, Good e-Reader? There are no negatives?
This is a review. We don't make commercials almost ever. No one pays us to make videos for them
And yeah, you're correct. There are no negatives.
You could argue there's no Google play, apps, etc, but that's not what it is, it's not a tablet or an Android e-reader. It's an e-book reader
@@goodereader Don’t get me wrong, this e-reader looks promising. But I think there are always improvements that can be made.
Good ereader is also a seller...😉.
Did he say what the price would be? I missed it?
200usd for 16gb model and 250 for 64gb one
Looks really really nice.
What would be the ideal model to read python pdfs?
the bigger the better.
Inkpad X (Pocketbook 1040) - the most balanced device today in terms of price/comfort. Personally, I'm waiting for the new Pocketbook 10.3" Carta 1200.
Does anyone know if on this ereader you can adjust the brightness to a really low level? (this video only shows some medium light examples). My current ebook emits too much light, even when adjusted to the minimum, and I can't use it in bed at night with someone sleeping next to me, it's way too bright. But the light of the smartphone at minimum does not cause any problem, so I'm looking for an ereader whose minimum light level is really low, as low as a phone at minimum. Thank you!
May i know how much and where i cak buy it as I am not from USA
We do sell it on our store. We have been a partner of pocketbooks for a decade
Feel free to visit our site or contact the store department :-)
@@goodereader do you deliver outside US? I am tempted to buy PB Era
Is the battery life better than the Kindle Oasis
Can you select a word like in 3:40 and then search in the book for all occurences of that word?
I also reeally want to know this
Did you find an answer?
Bro, chill with the music in the background.
Bro?
To whom are you referring?
We can see that it's not very responsive
I had PocketBook Inkpad 3 Pro. I was super happy with it first. But once I loaded it with couple dozens of books it started slowing down to the point that it would take ten or more seconds to just open book, another several seconds to turn page etc. It was pretty much unusable. And even in this video I can see it’s not very responsive either. Also the design is god awful. Especialy the rubber back that is going to be full of dust you won’t be able to get off the reader. They almost made a great reader, but they didn’t go far enough sadly.
And what about Kindle paperwhite 11? It's slow or fast? Can you give me some feedback about paperwhite 11?
@@ElEdenaRuh get the kobo libra 2 over the paperwhite kobo is better in every single way. Except that Amazon has the biggest store and isn't available on non Amazon ereaders. Which is only a problem if you don't pirate 99.9% of your books like I do lol... (I buy special edition hardcover versions of books I like)
@@godofchaoskhorne5043 hahahaha thanks man! But I buyed the paperwhite 11 2 months ago.
@@godofchaoskhorne5043 where do you get your books from I used zlibrary but yeah not available since recently
it refreshes every 5 pages, onyx boox and kindle don't refresh almost at all
you can set it to refresh after every page too
@@Tocy777isback0414 I would like it not to refresh the page at al
@@evgeniy4831 why? it will leave artifacts behind making the text unreadable
among us
bigme is better
Can you play chess on it?
ofc)
it is still slow as shit and still black and white screen? Hallo 2008?
This is an e-reader
@@goodereader pocketbook color is also an ereader
Yes, with a color epaper screen. I would highly recommend doing some research before commenting :-)
@@davidebiganzoli why you say that? lol
Utterly useless tiny 7 inch screen no way I could read a scientific article on that tiny thing!
