Note: you need a Storytel subscription to use the e-reader.
Devour your favorite books and audiobooks with the Storytel Reader. The e-reader remembers where you left off, so you can easily switch between reading and listening. You can use the same Storytel account on different devices. That means you can easily alternate between your e-reader, tablet, and smartphone. With your Storytel subscription, you have access to hundreds of thousands of books in Dutch and English. If you have an active Storytel subscription, you can even upload your own .epub files. You can read and listen to files offline and online. The 8GB storage offer space for about 3000 e-books or 35 audiobooks for offline use. This is convenient in places without WiFi. For example, if you're on the go or at the beach. The e-reader is comfortable to hold with one hand while you leaf through your book with the buttons on the side of the device. Thanks to the built-in screen backlight, the screen is clearly readable with little or a lot of ambient light.

With the Storytel Reader I read and listen to all my favorite books. I take the e-reader with me on the road without any problems, because it is a compact device.
E-ink screen I can easily and quickly find the titles I want to read via the search function. I also find it useful that there are special lists, with top titles, new books and books classified by genre. That way I also discover titles that I hadn't thought of myself. I download the titles I like at the touch of a button. They then appear on my bookshelf. The e-ink screen is easy on the eyes. As a result, I read the e-books in enough light just like a paper book. I do think that the e-reader responds a bit slowly to touches on the touchscreen. Fortunately, I also browse books using the physical buttons on the device. That goes a lot faster.
Alternating reading and listening A very nice feature of this e-reader is that I can alternate between reading and listening without any problems. When I download both the reading and audiobooks, I can switch at the touch of a button. The audiobook then starts where I stopped reading. This is ideal if I want to continue with the book, for example when I'm on my bike. That is also why it is extra handy that the device is nice and compact. I connect wireless headphones via bluetooth, so I don't have to worry about wires. The e-reader also has a headphone jack, so I may use wired earphones. In the evening in bed I find listening instead of reading ideal. I then set it to sleep so that the reader stops reading after a certain time. The audiobooks that have been recorded especially for Storytel are made extra lively by the added sound effects. This gives a different experience of the story.
Read through the app I also downloaded the Storytel app on my phone. This comes in handy when I don't have an e-reader with me, but still want to read. The synchronization also comes in handy now. The book on my app opens to the page where I left off. So I read always and everywhere. I do find a disadvantage that I only use the e-reader when I have a subscription. When I read less for a while, it is annoying that the subscription continues. I can cancel it at any time, but then my device will not be useful for a while.

I'm super happy with it, have been using storytel on my phone for years and love that I can now listen to books on the ereader and read storytel books too! can also be expanded with your own e-books, which is fantastic. Reacts slowly and switching between listening and reading does not always go smoothly. Hopefully with next updates this will be solved, there is also little memory on it so although you can put your own e-books on it, the memory fills up too quickly. I had a kobo H20 ereader before (I still have) and it is larger in size and water resistant. There is room for improvement, but I am very happy with it!

yes: small and handy, very promising. But: The points for improvement weigh more heavily, so I'd like to wait for the next version.
