PocketBook Era

The PocketBook Era is a premium, European-made e-reader that champions format freedom and high-quality construction. It supports over 20 eBook formats natively—including EPUB, PDF, DJVU, and even comic book formats like CBR/CBZ—without needing conversion. It boasts a sleek glass and metal design, a 7-inch, 300 PPI Carta 1200 E Ink screen with adjustable warm light, and IPX8 waterproofing. Unique features include a robust Text-to-Speech engine with multiple voices, a built-in speaker (in addition to Bluetooth), and a microSD card slot for expanding its 32GB of internal storage. While its ecosystem and store are less prominent than Amazon's or Kobo's, the Era excels as a hardware-centric device for readers with diverse, self-sourced digital libraries who value build quality and maximum format compatibility above all else.
