Welcome back Tech Room Enthusiasts! We're trustedshoppingguide.com and today we are
in the Tech Room. In this video, two e-book reader brands will be going head to head.
We have the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition.
An e-book reader is a terrific purchase for those who like reading for pleasure. With this device,
you may take your whole collection of books and read them in almost any lighting situation.
The most recent e-book readers are very affordable, simple to use,
and do a great job at resembling a printed page on a screen, which makes the entire
experience more like reading a traditional book than a typical electronic screen.
In today s video, we will be pitting two high-end e-book readers- the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 and the
Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition - against each other in a battle of epic proportions. Both of
these e-book readers have earned five badges from our team at trustedshoppingguide.com, attesting
to their quality, durability, and performance. However, there s only one room for a winner,
so sit back, relax, and watch as we battle it out in today s Brand Wars!
If you are interested in the other e-book readers that we reviewed, do check out our
e-book reader review video linked below. If you want direct links to the products themselves,
all these links are also listed below too. So, without further ado, let s start the brand wars!
The first category that these e-book readers will be going toe to toe with would be their display.
One important factor to take into consideration when choosing an e-reader is its quality of
display. Most e-readers use something called electronic ink, or e-ink, and electronic paper.
This combination simply creates a visual on the screen that s similar to looking at words on a
physical page. E-ink features sharp contrast and low light designed to decrease eye fatigue often
associated with looking at a computer screen. The Pocketbook Touch HD 3 features a six-inch
E-Ink Carta HD screen with a resolution of 1440 by 1080 and 300 PPI or pixels per inch. It has
a front-lit display to read in the dark and also a color temperature system that warms the screen up.
Lastly, there is little to no light bleeding to be found on the edges of the screen.
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, on the other hand,
features an E-Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen display with a resolution of 1236 by 1648 and 300 PPI.
The screen is completely flush with the bezel and protected by a layer of glass. One last nice
thing about the body is that the bezels have been slimmed on each side and the top of the device.
Although it s hard to argue against the paperwhite beauty and elegance
of the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, we will have to award the Pocketbook Touch HD 3
for its higher resolution. With that said, it takes first blood and earns one point.
The second category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with
would be their waterproof capability. When choosing a good e-book reader, one
of the characteristics that you should definitely consider is water resistance. With a waterproof
reader on your hand, you will be able to read while soaking in a bathtub, relaxing on a beach,
or sunbathing in a pool. If this sounds like something that you would want to do, then we
suggest choosing a waterproof e-book reader, so you will have the possibility to use them wherever
you want without worrying about anything. The Pocketbook Touch HD 3 is protected from
the harmful effects of water according to the international IPx7 standard. This means
the e-reader can withstand immersion in fresh water for three feet for up to 30 minutes.
On the flip side, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is rated Waterproof IPX8,
which means it can withstand immersion in 6.6 feet of fresh water for 60 minutes. This provides
you with the peace of mind to read and relax in more places, from the beach to the bath.
As clear as day, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is the better e-book reader in terms of
its water resistance. With this e-book reader in your arsenal, you ll be able to read come
rain or shine. Having said that, it earns one point and ties the battle up at one apiece.
The third category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with would be their portability.
E-readers are usually smaller and lighter than tablets, which makes them more portable and
easier on your wrists while you re holding them. Most e-readers are going to be the size of your
average paperback novel or non-fiction title, which is roughly six inches to seven-and-a-half
inches in diameter. This allows you to handle page and text sizes that you re already familiar with.
The Pocketbook Touch HD 3 weighs only 155 grams and can fit into a jacket pocket. This
makes for an ideal gadget to take around when you re out traveling. Not only is it light,
but the design of the e-book reader also makes it so that holding it is a pleasurable experience.
As for the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, it is thin, lightweight, and fits
easily in anyone s bag. At 208 grams, it s a bit heavier than the Pocketbook Touch HD 3. However,
this is still quite a joy to hold in your hands when reading for extended periods of time.
With its more lightweight design, the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 will allow you to
read for longer periods of time without causing hand fatigue. For this reason, we are going
to give it this category as it earns another point and takes the lead with a score of 2-1.
The fourth category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with would be their storage.
Storage determines how much media fits in your e-book reader at a single time.
The higher the memory, the more e-books, and files you can fit.
High capacity is especially important for multimedia e-readers that also play music,
video, and apps. So if you love listening to audiobooks on top of reading e-books,
then we suggest looking for a higher-capacity reader. Besides the internal memory, some devices
come with a slot for an SD card, which allows you to expand your device s storage space.
The Pocketbook HD Touch 3 has an internal storage of 16 gigabytes, which is impressive
for bringing around your digital library of books and maybe some audiobooks.
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, on the other hand, boasts a whopping storage capacity
of 32 gigabytes. This much space allows you to take thousands of digital books with you anywhere
as well as a lot of audiobooks. Since both devices don t have SD card slots
or any other means of storage expansion, these capacities can be considered final.
With that said, we are going to award the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition as the winner of this
category. With 32 gigabytes of storage, this blows the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 out of the water. The
score is now tied back up again at two apiece. The fifth [and final] category that these two
brands will be going toe to toe with would be their battery life.
Depending on whether you plan to read primarily at home or on the road,
battery life is an important consideration. Basic e-readers without fancy features
typically have longer battery life since their batteries don t get drained by running other apps
in the background. Aside from this, devices with Wi-Fi and web browsing also tend to have shorter
operating times. If you intend to have the best battery performance out of your e-reader, then
we highly suggest going with a unit that doesn t offer a lot in ways of additional features.
The Pocketbook Touch HD 3 has a powerful battery that can guarantee at
least a month of active reading without recharging. As impressive as this is,
however, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition can get up to 10 weeks of battery
life with a single charge via USB-C or a compatible Qi wireless charger. This
extra oomph in terms of battery power is quite useful for audiobook listeners and readers who
prefer to keep their readers online at all times. Quite decisively, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature
Edition wins this category. Its superior battery life is nothing to be surprised about, however,
given the long-standing reputation of Kindle in the world of e-book readers. Having said that,
it takes the final point and becomes the winner of this battle once and for all.
Finally, we have come to the end of this battle of e-book readers between the Pocketbook Touch
HD 3 and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. Even though it was a very tough fight, the Kindle
Paperwhite Signature Edition beats the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 by a narrow margin of one point.
As much as we would like to keep going on about the wonderful features these e-book readers offer,
there can only be one victor today and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has already claimed
its throne as it waits for yet one more battle with another formidable opponent.
