My Likebook Mars Android e-reader stopped charging after 4+ years of regular use and this Pocketbook Inkpad Lite was bought as a replacement.
Pros:
-9.7" screen. The resolution on this is lower than most other modern e-readers at just 150 ppi which concerned me when ordering but it's fine for reading books. I first bought an e-reader due to my eyesight getting to the point where I couldn't read small paperback text without reading glasses and I can read everything fine on this screen and can't tell a difference between the quality when reading epub books on this screen vs the quality of the 300 ppi screen on my old Likebook.
-It boots quickly. It did seem to hang a bit on first boot, but that was due to it organizing all of the ebooks on my memory card- mostly in epub format - on first boot.
-Has a microSD card slot, which made it easy to move all my books from my old e-reader to this one.
-OS easy to figure out and change settings to my preferences. Can set font and font size for use with all of your books vs my Lifebook where you had to set it on a book by book basis. Didn't like some of the default settings - especially where you touched the screen to turn back a page - and was easily able to change to my liking.
-USB-c charging. Nice being able to charge with same cable/charger as most of my other newer devices.
-Backlight works well to see all text in the dark and can be adjusted to your personal preferences.
-Cover - bought seperately - can close cover to put it to sleep.
Neutral:
-Physical buttons that can be used to turn the pages. Nice feature I guess, but still find it easier to just touch the screen. Do like where the power on button is compared to my old Likebook where that button was on the bottom and I would frequently turn it off by mistake - not an issue with this Pocketbook.
-Not as customizable as Andriod e-reader. But 99% of my use on my Android e-reader was reading books in epub format and this works great for that.
-Changing the defaults seems to take a few minutes to register. Thought at first my changes weren't being registered but they were.
Summary:
This is the 5th ereader that I've owned and so far it's far and away my favorite. It boots quickly, I love the size, and its easy to navigate. It may not have some of the features of some others, but it works great for reading books in epub format, which is what makes up the majority of my e-library.

All major ebook's formats supported
I bought this ebook as a Christmass gift to myself and must say - it is the best gift for last 10 years. This is my 5th ebook and first one which has EVERYTHING right out of the box. My library id mostly in fb2 format which is not supported by Kindle or Kobo. Pocketbook reads it as native. PDF, RTF, DJVU, DOC, TXT, the other formats I have my books in - read without any issue. The book has only 8Gb internal memory, but it was enough to put there already 1500 files. Plus there is a micro sd card slot for up to 128 Gb which I intend to use soon. Battery works very solid - I spent whole evening yesterday by reading and it didn't even drop charge by 5%. Touch screen is very responsive and scaling fonts is very easy - it is just pleasure to my eyes to set comfortable font. In general it is very good and reliable ebook. I recommend it to anyone who likes to read, you will enjoy and never regret.
