There are TWO disadvantages: (1) it easily slides off the palm and from other surfaces (so you definitely need to buy a cover right away) and (2) the screen is very fragile - falling onto a hard surface even from a small height - and immediately cracks. Review: Loved it. It is fast, support multiple ebook formats, good with images, very simple to rotate to use with one hand and very light to hold too. Smart back light is quite good too. Easy to set up personalized shortcuts for touchscreen and buttons. Only con is it feels VERY fragile, I’d recommend buying a cover -it’s even recommended in the user manual. ## Features - Livoo feel good moments - Accurate measurement: the digital minte kitchen scale shows the weight accurately. Measured in grams, ounces, pounds and millilitres with tare function. - Pretty design – weighing ingredients is fun with the scales. The pastel flat design will look great in any kitchen. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B56TY3CY | | Battery Average Life | 30 days | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Ion Polymer | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,081 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #39 in eBook Readers | | Bluetooth support? | Yes | | Brand | Pocketbook | | Built-In Media | E-reader, USB Type-C cable, USB Type-C audio adapter, quick start guide, warranty obligations leaflet | | Color | Stardust Silver | | Compatible Devices | Laptops | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (297) | | Display Technology | E-ink Letter screen | | File Format | EPUB | | Human-Interface Input | Buttons, Touchscreen | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 16L x 14W x 1Th centimeters | | Item Weight | 228 Grams | | Manufacturer | LIVOO | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 GB | | Model Name | Era | | Native Resolution | 1264x1680 | | Night vision | No | | Other Special Features of the Product | Waterproof | | RAM Memory Installed | 1 GB | | Screen Size | 7 Inches | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pocketbook - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth - **Display technology:** E-ink Letter screen - **Model name:** Era - **Screen size:** 7 Inches ## Images ![700 Era Silver ebook reader Touchscreen 16 GB Black Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XzdVsxssL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this device work with Amazon Kindle books?

Very light and comfortable. There are TWO disadvantages: (1) it easily slides off the palm and from other surfaces (so you definitely need to buy a cover right away) and (2) the screen is very fragile - falling onto a hard surface even from a small height - and immediately cracks. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***O on 23 March 2026* Loved it. It is fast, support multiple ebook formats, good with images, very simple to rotate to use with one hand and very light to hold too. Smart back light is quite good too. Easy to set up personalized shortcuts for touchscreen and buttons. Only con is it feels VERY fragile, I’d recommend buying a cover -it’s even recommended in the user manual. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***E on 28 March 2024* I'm really loving the Pocketbook Era. The first thing to mention is the built quality is fantastic. Fit and finish is just beyond anything Kindle or Kobo could produce. It has some weight to it too that makes it feel quality rather than holo and empty inside. The asymmetrical design is just perfect for me. One gripe I had with the PW was that it's at the size where it's just awkward to hold without a popsocket or some kind of strapped case. The Era has been very intuitively designed that it can be held with one hand with my thumb resting near the raised page turn button. The speed is fantastic and the refresh is a lot smoother than the PW Gen11 which I also have. PDFs are so pleasant to read and pinch to zoom is such a better experience. Battery life is on par with the PW if you actively use every battery saving option like lower screen brightness and airplane mode so the wifi/Bluetooth isn't on. Every book file type I could need is supported including epub, html, pdf, and cbz. It even has built in Adobe Editions support that Pocketbook provides should I need to borrow DRM content I can do so natively without third party software. Similar to Kindle, it has email to device support but Pocketbook also adds Dropbox support as well as Pocketbook Cloud support as well. Download the Pocketbook App on your phone and it can manage books from Google Drive and Google Books as well. The most convenient feature I absolutely appreciate on the Pocketbook Era is the organization of my library on the device; IT ACTUALLY HAS ONE! Metadata is detected and books are organized by author, genre, collections, favorites, folders, formats, and series. No more being limited to organizing things by [Collections] and manually moving books to those folders like on the PW. Kindle needs pay attention and step up their game. For audiobooks mp3 works perfectly and the device will even detect chapters from single file m4b. One of the best audiobook reading experiences I've had with options to adjust both speed and pitch of the audio. Text to speech is very nice as well with many voices to download and speakers/Bluetooth makes things so convenient. If you want to connect it to wired headphones you can with the supplied USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. The store experience isn't something you buy the Pocketbook for as it only has access to the European store. This is good and bad; good in that you're not tied to any ecosystem like you are with Kindles or Kobo's and bad if you're looking to buy books, download and simply read like you could with Kindles and Kobo's. If you manage your book library from third party software like calibre, this is the perfect companion to sideloading however this can involve plugging the device in which, apparently the consensus is a deal breaker since people hate the inconvenience of having to plug in their device to a computer. I don't mind this at all since my library is huge. If I need to transfer a single book, I just use the email to Pocketbook feature and it receives perfectly. Never have I had a book deleted on me; Kindle users will know what I mean. Overall I really enjoy reading on my Pocketbook Era. I think it's the perfect device for me as I can work around every obstacle to maximize my experience with the device by utilizing the capabilities of the device. It isn't an all-in-one device like a Kindle could be, where you can buy books directly and check out books from a subscription service like Kindle Unlimited but if you know how to utilize third party software to manage your book library this is a fantastic option for an ereader. Audiobook support is fantastic, although I wasn't into audiobooks prior to picking this device up, I find it makes listening to audiobooks very convenient. I'm 17 audiobooks in so far this year and I feel like this is a very complete experience. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pocketbook Era E-Reader, Stardust Silver, 16GB | 7ʺ Glare-Free & Eye-Friendly Touch-Screen with E -Ink Technology | Waterproof | Text-to-Speech, Audio- & E-Book Reader | SMARTlight & Built-in Speaker - PocketBook Flip - Black Cover for Era --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/452973074-700-era-silver-ebook-reader-touchscreen-16-gb-black-silver](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/452973074-700-era-silver-ebook-reader-touchscreen-16-gb-black-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
