Description

You can read your favorite books anywhere with the PocketBook Basic Lux 4. This compact and light e-reader has a 6-inch screen, so you can easily take it with you. That's useful for reading in public transport, for example. Thanks to the backlight, you can also read books at night when it's dark. You don't have to keep your nightlight on this way. You control this e-reader with the touchscreen or the 3 buttons on the bottom of the screen. You can't listen to audio files with this e-reader. Like listening to audiobooks? Choose an e-reader with Bluetooth connectivity and speakers. Store your favorite books on the 8GB storage. Is you storage full? Expand it with a memory card. A charger isn't included. Order it separately and charge your e-reader right away.

The only ereader that meets the requirements.

Simple operation
Adjustable font
The many possibilities

To replace my previous pocketbook, after five years the battery only lasted an hour. For me the best ereader, ease of use, easy to adapt to my wishes, a very nice device.

Great entry level E-reader

Screen quality superior to tablets/cellphones. Limits eye fatigue
Navigation buttons could be highlighted for night use

If you look for your first e-reader and don't want to spend a huge amount of money, this is a good value-to-price product. Size is compact for traveling and adjusting font size allows you see the text clearly. It's an e-reader, so don't expect a speed demon - it takes a bit of time to load new books / applications. I miss buttons highlight or a different texture to locate them easily in the dark if you want to use them for scrolling pages. However, you can also swipe/tap the screen to navigate.

Basic e-reader without frills that does what it's supposed t

high-contrast image
easy to put books on
price
slow

I wanted a simple e-reader that I can simply put books on via the PC, with lighting in case there is not enough ambient light. I didn't need extras like buying books online or listening to audiobooks. This basic e-reader works fine. Nice clear image, easy to put books on. The lighting works but I haven't needed it yet, so I can't say much about that. The downside I think is that the e-reader is quite slow. Not when reading, turning pages is quite fast, but it is when you go to the main menu, or look up something in the dictionary, or go to a footnote. The English-English dictionary, the only one I have used so far, is also quite sparse. All in all, a good device for its price that does what it is supposed to do.
