Just to make sure; the inkpad has a headphone jack but does not have speakers? Also, does it have it's own bookstore, or any others you can use? |

Any of you guys has a photo of the H2O/InkPad next to a real book? It'd be nice to have some benchmark.

If there is an eBook open on the screens of the H2O & InkPad, then you have real books showing.

What I meant was rather the size of the readers, compared to a standard paper book, like 12x19 cm. I know the size of the devices, but a photo is better than a thousand words.

Obviously the InkPad would be a bigger book. I am asking because they both cost a lot of money (compared to most of 6" devices) and do not want to regret the purchase when I open the box, I mean in terms of sceen size.
Too bad they are not in my local stores! EDIT: It took some time, but I measured the possible screen size, and in theory it should be (+/- 5 mm): Kobo - height 137 mm, width 103 mm Pocketbook - height 163 mm, width 122 mm That's quite a difference! Last edited by Buhaj47; 12-24-2014 at 04:24 PM. |

You also need to consider weight, since you generally use an ereader one-handed rather than the normal two-handed way you would read a book.
I find the H2O rather heavy since switching from a Sony PRS-T1. I really wouldn't want something heavier. My wrists would start to hurt after awhile. You have to make a trade-off between big screen and too heavy to read on. |

The Inkpad weights 350g or 12.35oz.
The H2O weights 233g or 8.22oz Obviously a cover is going to add to the weight. |

Does anybody know how good the dictionaries are for the Inkpad? Comparable to kindle or Kobo?
