The Pocketbook InkPad 3 (also called the PocketBook 740 in some places) is a new 7.8-inch ebook reader that I've posted about a couple of times recently. Unfortunately it's not sold in the US anywhere but it is available in other parts of the world. There's a listing for the InkPad 3 on eBay fromRead more
The brand new InkPad 3 might just be the best e-reader that Pocketbook has ever produced. The extra large screen and new warm light illumination system really makes it a compelling value proposition.

Pocketbook pays a license feeRead more

Tolino has issued three different generations of the Shine e-reader, which is their mid level device. This is the first model in the lineup that was designed by Kobo and the Shine 3 is basically the Kobo Clara HD shell and internals.
