And
Tell em the specs, son
Wot……..
Wow. 7% off.
(Edit: Same price as from Rakuten, who afaik is the global distributor for Kobo.)
Only released 2 months ago
I read the colour screen is not great for black text?
Yes, apparently is darker than a regular black and white due to the extra colour layers, recommended to always have brightness on at 10%
If only it had Android inside …:(
That's actually a plus for me and some other people…having ADHD while trying to focus on a book in Android means frequent distractions.
Not sure what is the difference: this still has a web browser, on Android you don't have to install everything you don't need. So usually readers with Android have all exact same features out of the box.
But I got the point 👍
Have you looked into Onyx Boox?
yes, I did, they are expensive :(
I cannot find the AU price for ONYX BOOX NOVA 3 Color, maybe it is not available on AU market
And I would definitely get Note Air3 Series if I don't need to pay the full price for itI've had the same issue that they are pricy. They are much cheaper on the Boox website when you factor conversion then local retailers by ~200 for Nova 3. You've to select Hong Kong warehouse as the US one doesn't deliver to Australia
I've been considering Nova 3 B&W over colour bc heard bad things about colour screen regarding battery drain and higher brightness required
Looking at the inkpalm 5, anyone tried both?
I haven't tried both but I have the inkPalm 5. Think they fit different needs.
For me colour eink has limited benefit on a device designed to mainly read text, given the darker screen when purely reading B&W. Although, the front light will mitigate that.
Good insight, was getting english on the inkpalm easy?
Many sellers on Ali Express now sell them already converted to English. I got mine via https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006376325378.html
I did intend to follow this guide to convert it, and used it to uninstall unneeded apps, replace launcher etc https://github.com/philips/inkpalm-5-adb-english?tab=readme-…
@GeekitTillitMHz: I've had this on my Wishlist for ages. The idea of always having an eink book in my pocket is great. Do you like it?
@theguyrules: Personally love it, taken over as my main reader over the 11th gen Paperwhite. I just use the Kindle and Libby apps on it.
Has compromises but the main benefit is its size; fits in my pocket at all times with my iPhone Mini.
@GeekitTillitMHz: I love the idea of having it sync with my Kobo Libra but it seems that'll only happen if I buy all my books thru Kobo and use the app
@kanu666: Yes. I believe the larger plus model is the one with Android 11. But the Mini is Android 8 based. Not really an issue for my needs though
@GeekitTillitMHz: true, the issue will happen when apps will stop working on Android 8.
I still have my Nook Simple Touch with Android 2.3, unfortunately unusable :D
What's the use case for a device this small? I have a Kindle 6” and wish it was bigger.
Plus, https://podclips.com/c/reading-on-a-smartphone-suppresses-si…
It's not a smartphone. It's a mini eink reader which has the same benefits of a bigger one.
I picked up the Libra Colour recently from Booktopia on ebay for $279 delivered last week. Link if it comes back in stock while a decent discount code is available: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/296422338193
The Clara Color is probably a little small for comics, the Libra Colour is borderline for me.
You can view comparisons online between the colour and non-colour screens. The colour is definitely darker but I don't think it's too bad, backlight certainly helps.
If you're not reading colour content then probably a b&w reader would probably be better.
I know unrelated but just starting read demon slayer manga on surface pro tablet and its amazing experience lol.. easy on eyes . Portrait mode
I recently purchased The Boys and Ninja Turtles packages from The Humble Bundle. I also have the 4 Walking Dead compendiums to read.
My backlog are massive… tintin lucky luke asterix and many2 others (re read ofc)
I should have bought from Booktopia ebay the other week as the price was excellent.
Read today that Booktopia is in dire financial straits so I suspect they were moving stock as quick as possible.
$239.00 is the std price via Rakuten.
.
Pre order price from booktopia is really good. Amazon is winning again.
I'm looking for a bigger screen e.g. 8" or above. Colour preferred. What's best budget bet out there. I've seen a couple and they were quite expensive.
my Kobo bought from 2017 now showing the dreaded blank screen with 3 dots.
So not confident in getting another Kobo.
However, they are easy to import external pdf and take all ebook formats.
my wifes got that one after being dead for a while. It wasn't too hard to revive - I think I needed to plug into a computer.
Oh ok. That's great to hear.
I did try plug into a computer as well but didn't see anything changed. still blank screen.
So what happened with yours when plug into a computer? it came back to life? blank screen 3 dots disappeared?
I wish I could remember, sorry. Try looking on /r/kobo
All I can safely say is that hers is still working now.
Tell em the price, son
