New ereader: suggestions?
Hi

I'm looking for a new ereader and pocketbook seems to match my criteria (readium lcp compatibility..)
What model do you suggest?
So far I came to these (partial) conclusions
Color models seem not completely "mature"
Hd3 seems a nice choice, but reliability doesn't seem its strongest point

I'd also like to read some pdf documents (zooming should be "fast")

Thanks

I have two HD3's and both have been reliable for me, and I would not hesitate to purchase a third one if I needed it!

You do not want a Reader with a 6" screen. It's too small for PDF. You want at least 7.8". Even that that may be too small.

I ended up with the hd3.

Everything is fine but I have two issues :

-lcpl files are not recognized. If I copy the file it works but the online services (cloud, sendtopb etc) don't seem to handle these files. Any tip?

-the browser doesn't store login/password details. This is important since I need to access online libraries...

Thanks

HI !
Pocketbook handles PDF files correctly, but in terms of speed, I would rather recommend BOOX Onyx PRO.

The advantages of BOOX are that you can install applications for your PDF files from GooglePlay, it is faster, has a bigger screen, and in addition, the screen is protected, which can be a problem with the HD3 because its screen is very fragile.

I much prefer the 6" buttons below form of the HD3 to that of the Era, which is a clone from the competition. Hope they will stick to HD3 and develop from there.

I hope so also, but I'm afraid the Era will be (is?) the HD 3 replacement. I would be very happy to find out I'm wrong about this.
