Basic Lux or Touch Lux 3?
I have the opportunity to buy a new Ebook Reader and I can't decide between the two from the title. What do you think?
I had a Basic 2 for over 2 years until now and the main grievance for me would be the lack of screen front light. I think I could live without touchscreen... The resolution is the same. And the price for me would be very close. Basic Lux has 8 Gb of memory compared to the 4 of the Touch Lux 3. But the Touch has touchscreen... So? ![]() |

For € 158 (€ 38 more than the Touch Lux 3) on Amazon.es, you have the Touch HD, which the whole family has enchanted us with.

Hello! Unfortunately I plan to buy it from a retailer in Romania (eMag) and yes, the Touch HD would be my first choice if I had the money but it's way past my budget. Only today they are on sale and cost somewhere just over 100€ if I were to simply convert to euros.
//Ok so let me update this for posterity if not for anything else. I ordered the Touch Lux 3. Even though it does not have the latest update - 5.17 (as of 5 of December 2017), it has one touchscreen more than the Basic Lux. The proverbial final nail in the coffin was the fact that the TL3 is actually tried-and-true with some extra reader apps that can be found actually on this forum. Hope it's gonna be a true upgrade from my Basic 2. Next time I'm gonna go for one with 300 DPI. Last edited by Manodragon; 12-05-2017 at 01:59 PM. |

Congrats on your choice, the TL3 is a solid device. The only flaw is the internal memory card, which sometimes (after extensive use) tends to break (Pocketbook will repair this if it happens). Just use a MicroSD for the books you read, the TL3 has the slot for it. In combination with coolreader this thing is better than most of its competitors.

@nhedgehog, thank you for the tip on the internal memory; I guess I have to read up on the comments about the device.
@brucelee, yeah, it will be some time until then. The price must go down for that. Right now the prices for the Touch HD is somewhere around 250 Euros which is insane |

Yeah.. Touch HD 2 looks like a good option for now. But it'll be some time until we'll have it around.

I don't know if this is the right topic but I'm asking: Can I change the 3 shortcuts from the home screen? Right now they are: Library, Store and Browser. Can i put the Settings in place of the Store for example? |
