Great e-reader, but breaks very easily

Buttons to go to next page
Reads fine
Screen breaks easily

Bought this e-reader four months ago, because I was looking for a simple and affordable e-reader. In principle a fine e-reader: you can easily put books on it, reading is fine and it's nice that it has physical buttons and not just a touchscreen. After those four months, however, the screen was suddenly completely streaked when I took it out of my bag and I can throw it away. After some googling it turns out that this happens very easily with this e-reader if it bumps against something or something and that you then also have no warranty. So now I regret that I did not go for a more expensive one that lasts longer. Therefore I would not recommend it to others, or perhaps only if you put it in a sturdy case.

I'm happy with it. I'm happy with it.

Memory card slot
Stuck with screen tilted. Hangs in flip screen

I was pleasantly surprised with flip screen, the page is a bit wider. Unfortunately, it sticks if you do that for too long. In normal mode this is not an issue. I'm a fan of dark mode and there is that too. Furthermore, the forward and backward buttons are slightly raised. In this version, the menu and on/off button are located on either side of the front and back buttons. Prevents you from pressing the wrong button in the dark. You have to press the on and off button a little longer, so accidentally pressing it does not happen so quickly. I have seen complaints that the reader does not wake up from sleep mode when you open the case again. He will if you don't wait too long. Standard sleep mode is 10 minutes, adjustable to a maximum of 60. If you exceed that, it will turn off.

I was pleased to discover it has flipscreen, making the page wider. Unfortunately it hangs in that mode. Not with the regular screen. Personally I prefer dark mode and I'm glad it's included. Back and front buttons are in the middle, the menu and on/off buttons are on the sides. Back/front buttons are raised so you won't press the wrong buttons in the dark. You have to press the on/off button a little longer, so there's no risk of turning it off when you think you're flipping to the next page. It goes to sleep when you close the cover, if you have one. Some people complain it's not waking up when the cover is opened again. It does, if you don't wait too long. Standard sleeptime is 10 minutes, adjustable to maximum 60 minutes. Open the cover within that period and your reader will wake up.

E-reader that does what it's supposed to do

Battery life
Placing books on it is easy
Format
1 button for multiple functions

After a negative experience with Kobo, I switched to Pocketbook. What I find very positive is that the books are super easy to transfer. You can create an email account via the e-reader, send the files via the email address and the books will automatically appear on the e-reader after synchronization. Furthermore, it is very pleasant to read, you can personalize in various ways (font, font size, screen lighting, less blue light, dark mode, etc.). You can personalize the standby mode yourself, which is also fun! There are games on it, I haven't tried them yet. The buttons are not a must for me (you have to be careful not to accidentally press them while holding them) and 1 button has multiple functions, which take some getting used to (2 seconds for standby, 1 press for the menu , press 2 times for sleep mode). Once you get the hang of it, it's no problem! Definitely recommended everywhere!
