First Buy: PocketBook or tablet

[ddanw]

hello all ,

I am looking for some advices because i would like to buy a dedicated ereader:

- i just want to read PDF and epub
- i don't want useless functions for me(annotations,underlining , dictionary.. )
- possibilities to read colours or black/white eBooks
- mini : 8 pouces
- maxi : 9.7 pouces
- weight : the less the better
- i don't buy eBooks from amazon and don't borrow from libraries
- i am based in Europe (so 21% tax applied )
- i would like to spend less than 250 euros/US$

first i was interested by the following ereaders :

- onybook 96CML but the price is almost identical to a tablet (440 euros)
- kindle fire HD but i am not sure it will read my own eBooks(free drm) and if it's the right choice because i don't buy from amazon
- kobo aura H2O , the screen appear to me a little too small

So i am looking for a Pocketbook/tea Ink Pad or a cheap tablet (Linux or android) but i don't know what will be the minimum requirement (proc ,memory,..)also pocketbook is not easy to find "new" , maybe someone know a seller/reseller

I also look in the forum , but didn't find a topic on seller/shop .

thank you in Advance for your advices.

Have you considered the Kobo Aura One? https://us.kobobooks.com/products/ko...ign=Aura%20ONE (It is available in other countries, just go to kobobooks.com and follow the links to get it from there)

Kobo is great deal. Also, Kindle hd $89 would be a good choice if ypou are on budget

Yes, but it's very easy to install an alternative reading app on the Kobos. No jailbreaking required. From what I've heard, KO Reader works very well for PDFs
