Hi!

I come from a Kobo touch that I bought back in 2012, which still works. I've used it quite a lot at the beginning, but then stopped because I found the speed frustrating and the screen subpar. I am specifically referring to the text clarity, which is quite bad for today's standard. And because I also like to read during the evening, I have finally decided to buy a new ebook reader with integrated light.

I've narrowed down my preference to the kobo clara and the pocketbook inkpad 3. I know that there's a huge price difference, as the clara is around 129 euros here in Italy, while I can get the pocketbook for around 225/250, depending on the sales.

The reason why I am considering the pocketbook is that I would love a larger screen. My phone and my old kobo have a 6 inches screen and they are too small to read on. But on the other hand, I am usure about it because I don't know whether pocketbook will be a reliable choice as for future updates and firmware support...and I can't find many reviews in English. My kobo touch is still getting updated from 2012, and while this usually doesn't matter so much, I would like to buy a product that won't be abandoned tomorrow.

What are your experience with software updates with pocketbook? Would you recommend it over a kobo, as for speed, updates and reliability?

I mostly read fiction, epubs files. And I love the warm light these readers offer, so that's why I excluded kindles.

Thank you in advance!
