Thanks for that review. The PocketBook Touch HD 3 does seem to be a nice piece of kit. It’s beautiful, but at $159, a touch too pricey for me at this time, especially for what I had in mind.


I was surprised that the Tolino Shiny 3 rated better than the Clara HD since they are virtually the same device.

I was hoping to find a small, compact ereader to carry with me when I go longboarding. I have an iPhone in my pocket with the Kobo app and others installed, but I need to preserve the battery for emergencies when I’m out on the board. I suppose I could pick up on old Kobo Touch for $25 off of eBay, but it lacks an illuminated screen.

It seems that the Clara HD is the closest I’m going to get to the mini with a Kobo device. I’m surprised that the 5” screen or smaller hasn’t been utilized in the market. Not even a cheap Chinese knockoff of the mini is out there.

Thanks for everybody’s feedback so far.
