    Remember the 4th generation original Kindle? Imagine if that was just remade today with a backlight and a better user interface. I love having physical buttons in a neutral location, love how slim and simple it is, I can just drag and drop epubs onto it from my computer, and it's got a simple light. Was severely put off from most modern models of e-readers because they all seem to love not having buttons and shoving way more features than necessary in. So many expensive popular models want to show me ads, or get me involved in proprietary accounts and ecosystems, or shove a ton of other unnecessary network features down my throat when I just want a simple device that does one simple thing.

    This thing is as simple as it gets, there are some network features sure (that I'll likely never use because drag+drop from PC is easy) and for some reason I can play solitaire on it, but as far as adhering to the guiding principle of "do one thing well and nothing more" this is easily my pick of the modern selection of e-readers.

    If pocketbook is listening, for the next generation of this model please copy the button style of the 4th generation kindle, two page turn buttons on the sides of the device, so it can be casually one-handed in either hand while keeping easy access to page turning buttons. It was the perfect button layout and we need to bring it back.

    Also, it's weird that a 2023 device charges through micro-USB, but since these things need to be charged like once a month at most I can't bring myself to care too much.

    For a lover of paperbacks/hardbounds and a first-time user of an e-reader, Basic Lux 4 is not bad at all. It does its purpose well. One thing that I don’t fancy is its touchscreen. It’s slow to react, and it takes a second or two for the library to look “normal” after each swipe to browse. But overall, I like it; it’s handy, lightweight, with expandable external storage (a 512GB card is supported), and the display is easy on the eyes. 👍🏼

    Bought this e-reader and a protective case (separately) directly from PocketBook, and it was great.

    Then..
    It fell literally about 12 inches of the corner of my bed and the screen broke, even with the 29$ so called 'protective' case. While I understand these things do need to be handled with care, but to break from a simple fall of a foot, all while clad in a protective case?! That's not reasonable. PocketBooks warrant page indicates that I'm not qualified for replacement, so I called a local repair person, they said it would cost 70$ to replace the screen, and that I should probably just buy a new one.

    Idk about PocketBooks other products, but this particular e-reader at least is absolute junk.

    Giving it 1 star, because while it lasted I actually enjoyed the product.

    I ordered the PocketBook Lux 4 Touch as a backup device should my Kindle Paperwhite finally give up the ghost. Unfortunately, I am rather disappointed with the result.

    Pros:

    Bright screen in daylight
    Long battery life
    Lightweight

    Cons:

    1. No lock screen or password entry.
    What good is privacy if anyone can pick up your reader and see what you're reading? The Lux 4 has no privacy lock screen, and when you turn it off, it stays on the last page you were reading, letting anyone read it.

    2. Odd menu system.
    You can only change fonts, formatting, and other features in each individual book. There is no master setting, which presents a problem if you're like me and have thousands of books.

    3. No Bulk Categorization
    You can't mass import books into categories. I like having collections for Star Trek, a collection for political texts, a collection for non-fiction, and so on. While you can make collections in the Lux 4, you must do it one book at a time. Again, thousands of books.

    4. Backlight.
    The backlight is okay, but it's a whiter type of light, and even turned most of the way down is still a little painful for reading at night. The Kindle Paperwhite does a far better job offering softer lighting, and it's only a few dollars more.

    5. Text PPI (pixels per inch).
    The PPI for text on the Paperwhite is 300. For the Lux 4 it's 212. That may not sound like much, but believe me, the text is much smoother, and easier to read on a Paperwhite as compared to the Lux 4. Sometimes the text doesn't even look like it fully prints, almost like an old paperback when the ink starts to fade at the edges.

    6. Cheap construction.
    It feels very cheap to hold, and it even has sharp edges so you have to be careful how you hold it. My Kindle is heavier, yes, but it is solid as a brick. I know because I've dropped it hundreds of times over the years and it still looks like new.

    So I simply cannot recommend it as a primary reader, and it works as a no frills reader at best. My Kindle Paperwhite 2 is vastly superior to the Lux 4 Touch, despite this device being 5 years newer than the Paperwhite 2.

    For the price, it's okay, but for just a little bit more money, you can get a top end Kindle Paperwhite which will outshine it in almost every way.

    I purchased a Kindle but all my eBooks were from Humble Bundle so external to the Amazon Store. On the Kindle none of the covers would show up and is a known bug that still hasn't been fixed in Years. So I purchased the PocketBook Basic Lux and so glad I did. I put my full eBook collection onto a 256GB SD card and all the covers show up perfectly. It's a device that does what it is good at flawlessly..

    Reviewed in Spain on March 25, 2024
    Éste es mi primer ebook y creo que he acertado, lo que yo quería era un aparato para leer los libros que ya tengo (en diferentes formatos) y los que cojo prestados de la biblioteca pública, de la manera más simple posible, y que además tuviera luz para leer de noche, nada más y nada menos.
    Puede abrir todos los formatos que he probado, incluido adobe drm (lo cual es necesario para poder leer los libros de la biblioteca), de capacidad tiene 8G creo, pero no me preocupa porque hay una ranura para micro SD. Para meter los libros puedes hacerlo conectándolo a un ordenador con su cable o, lo que me parece maravilloso, desde el móvil, sin tener que ir abriendo el ordenador ni conectando nada, hay varias maneras de hacerlo: te puedes bajar la aplicación de pocketbook en el móvil y pasarte los libros a una nube, por ejemplo, o la forma que me ha resultado mejor, pasarte los libros por e-mail de tu móvil a tu ebook.
    El tema biblioteca pública es lo que más me costó, yo creía que podría acceder a la web de la biblioteca y a mis préstamos desde el navegador del aparato, pero no he conseguido hacerlo (no me carga la página) supongo que sí se podrá hacer en modelos mejores de pocketbook, pero en el mío no, pero no me importa porque encontré como hacerlo muy rápidamente: desde el móvil voy a la web de la biblioteca, cojo prestado el libro que quiero, marco descargar a adobe drm (tienes que hacerte una cuenta adobe drm y autorizarla en el pocketbook), cojo el archivo que se me ha descargado al móvil y lo mando por e-mail al ebook, rapidísimo sin ponerme a abrir un ordenador (insisto porque es lo que yo quería, simplicidad), por supuesto estos libros son un préstamo y desaparecen de tu ebook cuando se cumple el plazo de tiempo que te da la biblioteca (puedes renovar el préstamo, claro)
    No me enrollo más, si alguien necesita ayuda al respecto puede consultarme.
