Video

Do you have any more recent videos comparing pocketbook and Kobo? I have pocketbook Touch HD 3 and wonder if installing Koreader would have any benefits for me. Note taking in Pocketbook is already quite smooth, but you now, just to not miss out on anything😁

Thanks for the great review! What about highlighting? Does any of the readers allow highlighting in PDFs?

The marks that confuse column detection (~17 minutes into the video) are printer's 'crop marks'. PDFs with these marks are normally intended to be sent to a commercial book printer. (I have seen people inadvertently add them selecting the wrong (La)TeX page style.) To allow making a book or magazine with printed areas (images or text) going right to the paper edge, printing stock is larger than the size of the final product. On this excess area printers also place color lignment marks, etc. The excess area is normally cut off after binding the pages, making a uniform page size. The crop marks indicate where to cut.

This is the video that I've been looking for. Thank you for making this!

Still relevant, thanks!

Very informative!

Thank you for making this video. Can anyone tell how good is Kindle for maths/scientific books?

The best for PDF textbooks is Onyx Boox 13" devices. Making notes on PDFs with a pen is great. Maybe other 13" devices are good es well. Everything smaller is not as fun.

What do you think about Kindle to read mathematics books?

Bonjour, Merci beaucoup pour votre video. J'ai justement pour objectif de me servir de la liseuse pour des cours de physique pdf en LateX , je viens d'acheter la Kobo Clara 6 pouces, j'ai transféré quelques pdf c'est une catastrophe, déjà ça freeze, quand je bouge le texte ça fait un écran noir avant de recadrer, elle ne s'éteint plus, bref elle aime pas le LateX ou les matrices de Dirac... Je pense que je vais l'échanger et passer à un autre modèle, j'ai vu qu'il y avait la Kobo libra qui était en 7 pouces et qui autorisait le mode paysage, pensez-vous qu'il est possible de lire des pdf en pleine page de ce genre en 7 pouces sans avoir à zoomer? J'imagine que koreader corrige déjà qques pb. Merci beaucoup par avance.

Ça sonne très français st'accent 😏

Where did you get this cute frog rug????

Thank you!

Really clarifier, thanks mate ¡

Thank you. Finally someone presented the capabilities of Koreader instead of saying "such and such device can't handle pdf and djvu books in physics and mathematics". With Koreader even a humble Kobo Mini with 5" can be used for reading scientific books comfortably. Btw, concerning the way the screen is "level" with the edge --- you say "I don't care", but actually it does make a bit of a difference. Namely, when you use a device for a long time the dirt/dust accumulates around the edges of the screen and on other devices (which are not level) it is impossible to take it out. But on those devices like Kobo Aura One where it is level it is a simple matter of wiping it off with a cotton pad and distilled water.

It's too bad that Sony quit making e-readers. They were the best for PDF docs and books. They do make a dedicated PDF reader but it is very expensive. I have the Kobo H2O with KoReader and I still use my old Sony for PDFs.

Great video! I know it's old, but something tells me you sent back the pocketbook...!

Hi, thx for this comparaison. Do you have an over advice to read PDF on a ebook 2 years after ?

Lol, Kobo pdf reader "completely useless"

Kobo Aura h20 version 2 has just been released.

Is this ink pad 1 or 2?

So noone is going to mention his alien thumbs ?

Is it possible to make koreader as default app on ereader?

hi A short time ago I bought one but stopped for no particular reason When i put it in the charger lights up the play button once and then turns off

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm a med school student in Limoges and we read with a lot of diagrams... I think I'll settle with the Pocketbook Inkpad because I will be able to read docs and maybe use Google drive with it. Anyway it helps so much to have PDF comparison for scientific documents. Have a nice day

Hi Steven! Thanks for this video, very informatic (and funny actually). I have to H2O and I was also very disappointed with the way it handles pdfs. Koreader made it a lot better, but now I sometimes have lines that are too high or too low, which makes them unreadable. Did you ever encounter this? It seems like the device 'thinks' the screen is a bit larger than it actually it. I already tried settings the margins to large and increased the margin sizes in advanced settings but that didn't help.

Thanks a lot! It really helps me to make a choice.

Is the durability and longevity of KOBO AURA H2O good?

Please make a tutorial on how to install koreader

It's not "irreversible".... :D Hahaha, l'accent français qui fait mal aux oreilles. Pourquoi est-ce que l'on est aussi mauvais pour prononcer l'anglais ? Sinon, vidéo vraiment sympa, merci !

21:32 - this so saved my Kobo purchase. thanks.

Great comparison! Thanks for sharing.

wiyh calibre you can convert the pdf to kepub and read really well the pdfs files calibre-ebook.com/download

Are you a bass player?? a quick guess by looking your thumbs :) Great review by the way thank you

A brilliant and very informative review. Great work! Many thanks.

Both devices seem to be first of their class for the specific companies. Koreaders PDF capabilities seem excellent. I learned, that Koreader can also be used on a Kindle (Paperwhite). The Paperwhite has a little smaller screen (6" compared to 6.8") than the Kobo Aura H20, but is quite a bit cheaper. **What about aquiring the Kindle and use Koreader with it mainly for scientific pdf?**

Thank you for this useful review! Please inform me which device would you buy?

I bought a Kobo Aura H2O. Thanks to this video I discovered koreader; it is essential for reading scientific pdf books and it works like a charm! Also, I find it pretty good the original browser of the kobo. Thanks Steven for this review.

Does any one using koreader with Arabic or any other similar language?

Parece um francês falando inglês

Thanks a lot for the very detailed review! Exactly what I wanted to know.

hey man, total newb to these and just bought the H20, and since i reached the end of your vid I am a lot happier than I was at the start; many thanks for a sterling presentation and a fast track to using my reader properly !!!

Is it possible to highlight text in the pdf's?

Great review! I am looking for a reader to read PDFs, this helped a lot!

What a wonderful video with pertinent and frank commentaries. Thanks!

Please how did you installed that pdf reader (koreader) to can use the landscape view???

....THANKS A LOT for this Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me, what are your TOP 5 eReaders. (if possible also write a short keyword for each of them why it is in your top5) ....wo studierst du denn? die vielen formeln erinnern mich an mein elektrotechnik studium :-)

You act quite arrogant and cherrypicking between two readers. Thanks for the review anyways, I watched it, learned with it.

Awesome review! Exactly what is needed for professional and scientific worlds! Appreciate your work!

Nice motivation for recording the video, Thanks! :)
