So I'm restricting the field to 7.8"- 8" ereaders.
In my country, in the price range 220-229 I can buy the following devices:
- Pocketbook Inkbook 3
- Likebook Mars
- Kobo Aura One (new from a couple of retailers).
Personale usage notes:
- I will sideload all of my ebooks with Calibre;
- I will plan to read many PDFs on my future ereader (e.g. 2 hours per day)
- I'm fine with installing KOreader.
In your experience / knowledge, which device is better for my use case?
And which alternatives I'm ignoring in the same price range?
Thank you!

Hi
- I used all 3 devices and would definitely choose an inkpad.
- Kobo is a good device, but not a PDF.
- Likebok mars is a bit harder than Inkpad, it has wider edges, but it has an android, which can more benefits.
Inkpad 3 has excellent screen and contrast, excellent explorer folder, battery lasts much longer and has a
physical buttones, better in hand. Of course, compatible with the Koreader.
* But I believe that with Likebook Mars is still a good choice.
