Review is 8,0 out of 10.

Pocketbook is highly recommended

Clear and good screen
downloading books is easy
Swiping is smooth
There is no cover and it is difficult to obtain

It is a product that fits well in the hand. The screen is clear and provides a nice image. Setup is easy after some research and trial and error. After a lot of searching on the internet I was able to find a nice cover. Happy with the purchase despite some drawbacks.

Reset on re-borrowing and static SmartLight

Forget everything when a book's loan period has expired

Unfortunately, if a library book expires and you borrow it again, you have to start all over again, because the eReader sees the old book and the re-borrowed book as different books. Furthermore, the eReader's SmartLight is based on a fixed schedule instead of a camera or sensor that adapts to the environment. That doesn't really make it "smart".

good, but with one very annoying disadvantage

large and sharp screen
very good battery
quite a lot of options
less user-friendly and quite slow

Replacement for Kobo Libra H20. Screen is definitely good, many things can be set, although it is sometimes a bit cumbersome and slow. Battery is very good. Scrolling works, but with a large collection of books it is not fast enough; it would be faster if you could set it as a normal list (without icons, so with many books on 1 page). Which is not possible; I do not use it very often, not very disturbing. Dark mode (white letters on a dark background) reads pleasantly in the dark/in bed. But... biggest disadvantage is that after a screen refresh (at least I assume that this is it): the entire screen flickers, which makes reading very restless. The function can be turned off, but apparently only for reading in a book, with all other screen transitions (e.g. scrolling in your library after every "swipe" or changing functions) this remains the case. It becomes especially annoying in dark mode: the screen refresh then jumps to normal function for a fraction of a second, with full brightness. That is not pleasant to read in the dark/in bed (not even for your partner...) and becomes a disco-like experience. It seems to me that it could easily be adjusted in software.
