He’s affraid he won’t be able to get all his books from different places to Pocketbook and they think Kindle is the best for that. FOR REAL?! Kindle is the most limited device ever. Every book you didn’t buy at Amazon you have to convert and it’s just so messy. Pocketbook is the most open reader that allows you to read pretry much any document you own or download. What a stupid video.
When you delete your amazon account they delete all of your books you bought remotely from your device.
Eye, I'm gonna go for the pocketbook myself, that SD card slot and the amount of formats it reads is just what I want 😁
It's not the first time I come across opinion like this, and I can't help but wonder - what is with the bookstores in your country? I'm from Poland and I never had to convert a single ebook I bought in polish bookstores. All of them offer two formats (epub and mobi) and mobi files work perfectly with my kindle. It baffles me that it's not an universal experience - is it something special about polish stores or what?
@@NephasisPL that's rely strange! the eBook reader(s) i've been using over the years is the old Sony PRS-650 with a modded operating system, one thing i liked about it was that it could run so many different formats. except mobi :(. i still stuck with it tho because of the SD card slot which i managed to get working with a 512GB card after formatting it to FAT32. after that generation (at least in the UK) it seems more and more ebook reader manufacturers started locking down there devices so they would only work with there stores and such. i have never heard of a kindle being able to run epub format :) you are lucky
@@NephasisPL Yes in the United States they want you to own nothing and eat bugs. Enjoy your country while you can.
I don't get this film at all. Why are they not using a new Amazon device for the test?
They are, the Oasis is an Amazon device.
@@muskndusk the oasis is 4 years old and there are newer models
@@_CRiT_hits_ I hadn't realised your emphasis was on 'new'.
How about vital Info that you can charge Pocketbook 2-3 time less often and have much better navigation than kindle or Kobo?)
When I owned a pocketbook (for a week before sending it back) I constantly had issues with the screen not responding to taps. Also the interface for highlighting was horrible compared to Kindle. Those two factors alone made the pocketbook untenable.
Pocketbook is the best. Maybe you make a comparison betwen color gadget from Kindle and Kobo (if they have one) vs Pocketbook. Marketing is at the first place.
They should have compared the PocketBook and Oasis against the more equivalent, but cheaper, Kobo Libra.
I hear that the libra is much better has it has a much higher dpi.
Said nothing about side loading, said nothing about file formats, said nothing about the actual features bad vid
"I'll tell you what... let's buy a second-hand Kindle and then it will win on the fact it's much cheaper to buy". What a load of rubbish!!!
If you cancel your amazon account they delete all of your books...
What??. I've bought 100's of books. If I stop paying for prime, I've lost my books???
If you delete your POS Amazon account they delete your ebooks and audiobooks you bought.
Just keep your wifi switched off.
That would work if you knew ahead of time...
Really hope this didn’t happen to you…
0:04 📚 Reading is a great way to pass time while traveling; testing three e-readers for best value.
0:21 🏆 Competing e-readers: Kobo Sage (8-inch screen), Pocketbook InkPad (7.8-inch screen), and 2017 Kindle Oasis.
0:51 🎭 Voice actor Timothy Bentink joins to help assess the e-readers.
1:07 📖 Kindle Oasis: 7-inch screen, available in 8GB or 32GB, supports audiobooks via Bluetooth, designed for long reading sessions.
1:44 📚 Kobo Sage: 8-inch screen, 32GB storage, supports audiobooks, large library via Rakuten, unique design with side grip and page turn buttons.
2:38 🎨 Pocketbook InkPad: 7.8-inch screen, color or monochrome, 16GB expandable storage, supports audiobooks with wired headphones, limited store selection.
3:16 🏅 Kindle Oasis wins round one for features and design due to its balanced design and vast book selection.
3:56 🚂 Testing usability on a train; Kindle Oasis is first, with adjustable brightness and legible font sizes.
4:47 🖊 Kobo Sage: Compatible with a stylus for annotations and notes, adjustable light temperature for night reading.
5:22 🐻 Pocketbook InkPad: Displays over 4,000 colors but navigation is clunky and slower than competitors.
5:55 ✍ Kobo Sage wins round two for usability due to its annotation capabilities and larger screen.
6:11 🌞 Final test: glare and contrast using a fake sun; important for reading outdoors.
6:47 ☀ Kindle Oasis: Completely glare-free under bright light.
7:03 🌟 Kobo Sage: Excellent readability in bright light, performs well.
7:17 🌓 Pocketbook InkPad: Grayer paper with less contrast but performs well in color mode.
7:46 🎖 Kindle Oasis and Kobo Sage are evenly matched in glare and contrast, but Oasis wins overall due to its lower price.
btw. reading against direct light? key point of smart ink technology is, it works like ink - those micro black pearls of ink absorb light so than brighter than better. Its hard to compare ebooks :)
Bought a pocketbook inkpad 3 two years ago, it gets soo slow with time, stay away !
I’m glad I learned the pocketbook is the way to go because anyone with device experience also knows weight is everything and the new pocketbook is light.
Pocketbook was the only one with colourful display here, how can you compare it to the black and white display and say it has lower contrast? And what about any of the system features and limitation? This video doesn't say anything new to someone who is already using any e-reader.
Thinking of kobo
Thanks.
did I see porn magazine in background 3:05 - can't believe they are still exists!
Never covered that if your a prime member, you get 3 free books per month and can read all prime books in the borrowed library.
If you cancel your amazon account they delete all of your books...
