One thing that sometimes comes up in regards to dedicated ebook readers with E Ink screens is the frontlight being a touch too bright at the lowest setting to be comfortable for night reading when all the lights are turned off in the house. Now that I’m reviewing the Pocketbook Color I’ve become aware of […]
Anyone Want a 7.8″ Nook Glowlight Plus for $149?
The Nook Glowlight Plus is currently available “renewed” for $149 with free shipping at Amazon, but is anybody even interested in buying Nooks anymore?

Pocketbook eReaders Have a Great Design
I recently ordered a new Pocketbook Color after they started selling them on Newegg, and while most people would probably focus on the color E Ink screen, the first thing that jumped out to me was how much I like Pocketbook’s design. The design isn’t unique to the Pocketbook Color; all of Pocketbook’s ereaders have […]
New 10.3″ Dasung Not-eReader 103 on Kickstarter and You Won’t Believe the Price
Dasung is planning to release another Not-eReader device (which ironically is an ereader), this time with a 10.3-inch E Ink screen. It looks cool and the specs are impressive on paper, and like other Dasung products it doubles as an E Ink monitor, but the price is pretty ridiculous, and Dasung is making claims that […]

As mentioned in the main Remarkable 2 review, the Remarkable tablet is best-suited for writing and drawing applications—it has a stylus with pressure sensitivity and tilt support, and the screen has a bit of texture that makes the writing experience feel more paper-like—but when it comes to reading functions the Remarkable is pretty basic.
