Review: Very nice device with a terrible dictionary. - The device works well and syncs well with the phone app. I download books to my phone and then sync to the device. It sends them right on. It reads all kinds of formats as well. The backlight is really nice and you can adjust the color so it is more white or more warm. The auto adjust makes it way too bright for me so I just leave it on one setting and adjust it manually if I need to. The battery life is insane. It lasts forever. It will last weeks or longer if you read several hours per day. The dictionary is horrendous. This is not a real example, but you will get the idea: if you search for “definitely” it will say “root is definite” or something equally as useless. It has a lot of words, but it has some glaring gaps. The speed is fine for reading a book, but browsing around the device it is a bit slow. Fortunately you don’t need to do that a lot. Review: Everything is as advertised - Disregard the PR talk as usual, it delivers the specs. Good value for the money. ## Features - EYE-FRIENDLY & GLARE-FREE TOUCHSCREEN: The E-Ink Carta technology provides a crisp and glare-free reading experience, making it ideal for long reading sessions.

When editing the file, we do not recommend to use Windows Notepad. Instead, use Notepad++ or WordPad, more perfect text editors. - Go to the "@Games" section - Delete the "PB_Sudoku" line If you need to delete all games { "title": "@Games", "sort": "title", "apps": [ "PB_Chess", "PB_Klondike", "PB_Scribble", "PB_Sudoku" ] } It is very important not to break the structure of the json file.

Good value for the money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only Returned Because of Lag. Otherwise a great device! *by A***R on August 7, 2021* I actually really liked this e-reader. It had a great reflow feature for pdfs, making them much more readable. The buttons made getting to the home screen or menu very easy and the expandable storage gave more bang for my buck than I got on other e-readers. The screen was pretty and the device was light. I only returned it because it could stall or be slow at times. I actually may order again in case the device I had was defective. --- ## 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/490126261-pocketbook-touch-lux-5-e-book-reader-glare-free-eye](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/490126261-pocketbook-touch-lux-5-e-book-reader-glare-free-eye) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
