PocketBook Touch HD 3
Thinking seriously of buying a Pocketbook reader. What is the battery life like on this model, does anyone know?
Also, I'm a "load my whole library" onto the reader sort of person (I know, I know), so how would the library list cope (I tried this on my old Kobo and the answer was "badly"). Would I need a case, because they almost cost more than the device in Australia...? thanks all |

TechInn supposedly ships to Australia and they seem to have some good prices on PocketBook branded cases. (I'm not sure if all cases have wake/sleep support, so you might want to investigate that on other sites as TechInn's description seems kind of sparse.) I don't know what TechInn charges to ship to Australia. To the U.S. they are pretty reasonable... and fast. https://www.techinn.com/en/tablets-e...k/11491/4338/x The screen is the most evenly illuminated one I have. 7 white LEDs and 6 amber ones. I see no "coning" at all. Last edited by rcentros; 02-08-2021 at 07:16 PM. |

I'd pretty much decided to get one (retail therapy) as I want an ereader for a big trip later in the year where I may be camping for days at a time & no power. I'll report back when it arrives! Thanks again. |

I have a fair number of books on mine and I think it runs very fast. Yes, you would probably want a case, I liked and bought this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/kwmobile-C.../dp/B07XC5SQB1 Last edited by cm1; 02-10-2021 at 12:07 AM. |

I myself strive to store all my books in the reader.
Of course, I also store backups on other media. I don’t use Dropbox because the free storage is small for me and I don’t want to buy more storage here either, as I already have storage elsewhere for this purpose (storage). The reader's library can be stored in several languages at the same time, I use Hungarian and Polish sublibraries. As for the library: books can be organized into folders, grouped by author, by topic, subdirectories can be managed, or as the user wants. You can create any directory system you want. As for the case: you might want to look around amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, and ebay.com, ebay.co.uk as well. There are factory cases (pocketbook) and aftermarket cases such as kwmobile, I find the US origin Fintie case (https://www.ebay.com/itm/FINTIE-Slim...EAAOSwOFRfx~tb). Wakes up, sleeps, light, thin. Otherwise, I completely agree with the respondents in front of me, one of the best readers so far. Last edited by totasenior; 02-10-2021 at 04:14 AM. |

I've gone with a "cheap & cheerful" case from AliExpress (I know, I know). The last time I used them was when it was the "wild west" of shops on the internet and totally shonky (but I didn't know at the time) but it looks like it's gone legit. I hope. I'll admit, I'm getting excited! |

Reader has arrived and I'm really happy with it. It's certainly better at showing lists than is my poor old Kobo. Deee-lighted!
