New readers from 2022 - 2024
I noticed that some companies release a lot of new ereaders and some don't. What is your opinion as a user of these brands?


Onyx Boox - 17 new from 2022 - 2024 with 4 discontinued already.

Pocketbook - 11 new from 2022 - 2024 with 1 discontinued already.

Bigme - 15 new from 2023 - 2024 with 0 discontinued.

Kobo - 5 new from 2022 - 2024 with 0 discontinued.



So, is Bigme producing great products? Is it a new company?

Onyx Boox- not new company. Are they still trying to figure it out? Or just create new ereaders to help profits? Not sure I like Android 11.

Pocketbook products? Only 1 discontinued. A good sign?

Kobo has not produced many new ones since 2022, but none have been discontinued. A good sign?

Opinions? Thanks.

Another, maybe even more important fact is whether or not they keep updating discontinued devices.

I think Kobo excels in that area. Actually pretty amazing.

I have read that about Kobo. Very nice! Plus the ability to repair Kobos is wonderful.

Onyx is the all-time winner for plowing you under with a plethora of models.
Maybe they are running out of steam on 6" monochrome readers.
We've been with the Poke5 quite a while now.
Still, it's a good reader.

The biggest issue with Kobo is that they've disconnected the Libra 2 and have no replacement for it. The Libra Colour is not a replacement.

@pypeke your Kobo listing is incorrect. There are not 0 discontinued models between 2022-2024.

Are all real or are some vapour-ware? A tiny Chinese startup, but expensive. Not in same league as Chinese Onyx / Boox.

Which models were discontinued (referring to the original post)?

Kobo Clara 2E

That seems to be it from 2022-2024. There are other models discontinued between 2022-2024 but they were released prior to 2022.
