Vivlo
My Bookeen Diva is dying, and Bookeen seem to be only selling large screen ereader/writing things now.
Does anyone have any info about Vivlo? Mostly, I need to have a book reader with internal folders that talks to Calibre. I have a library of well over 5,000 books, and I like to have them organised by genre and author. I've tried Kindles, but their internal organisation is pants. Panin. |

Do you have to have directory support? Wouldn't collections do?
If you can manage with collections, and series, then a Kobo Libra 2 would be a very good choice to replace your Diva. As to the Vivo, it's a color eink Reader. The color is not going to be good and the contrast in B/W is going to be poor. If you really want color, get a tablet. |

Thank you for replying. I did mean the Vivlo, out of France, as it was linked from the Bookeen site.
I've had Kobos before, but always gone rushing back to a Cybook. When the Diva dies, I guess its sadly back to a Kobo. |

Vivlio user here, Vivlio is just a rebranded pocketbook but to answer your question, it does handle pretty well the metadata from calibre and can group your books by series if you have all your metadata completed
