Pocketbook Touch: Just Another Ebook Device? When our favourite distributor AlTech took on a new line of products from Pocketbook and sent me one of the top models, the Touch, I had to wonder where the market for e-book readers is going to take us in the coming years. With the proliferation of large smartphones and tablets, some of them as cheap as dedicated e-book readers, will there still be a market for the likes of Pocketbook Touch?Read more
The Touch HD 3 e-reader is one of the best mid level devices that Pocketbook has ever released. It has a very interesting design with the brushed aluminum and manual page turn buttons. The big selling points is the audio functionality, a color temperature glowlight system, Bluetooth and is the fact it is completely waterproof. The Pocketbook line of e-readers does not lock you into a walled garden and plays nice with the majority of ebook formats out there, such as PDF, EPUB, DJVU, FB2, FB2.ZIP, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PRC, TXT, CHM, HTM, HTML, MOBI, ACSM. Pocketbook pays a license feeRead more

The Pocketbook Touch Lux is the new kid on the block, and we go hands-on to check out what this device brings to the table.
