Screen adequate. Software close to adequate.

Having only used a Kindle in 2013 prior to the Pocketbook PB741, I am not disappointed by text quality with black and white books. Brighter white background would be the most welcome improvement for me.

The color is extremely useful to read maps and diagrams. If you care about photo quality, this isn't the device.

A giant value-add proposition would be to get some kind of moving map support for my bike-rides. I'm investigating how this can be achieved now.

As a reader, the software disappoints primarily in failing to automatically scale my pdfs and epubs to full TEXT width (not page width) in landscape or portrait. The limited size and resolution requires manual scaling with pinch, then adjusting offset, then scaling again.

What makes this worse is that paging through a book after scaling to full-width text, every next page is offset again , alternating left and right, at least in some scale factors. This I interpret as a genuine software bug.

Auto-scale pdf/epub text to full width would be my #1 feature enhancement suggestion for the reader program .
