1. Am I right in thinking that Pocketbook Era now works with AZW3 files? If so, then presumably I could simply drag & drop all my AZW3 books straight from Calibre into the Pocketbook?
2. Can the Pocketbook display a file tree like on a computer - main folder with sub folders within?
I’ve always wanted this on my Kindle, rather than just collections.
I love my 10th gen Oasis, but after 4 years the battery life, never great, is appalling, so I’m thinking it’s time to make the break to Pocketbook or Kobo.
One advantage I see with Pocketbook (assuming it does now read AZW3) is not having to re-convert my large book collection back from AZW3 to epub. I can do this of course, gradually, if I must, and if the Kobo turns out to be the better device, but it would be nice not to have to.
I’m certainly going to be dumping the Kindle (which I use outside of the Amazon ecosystem - never off airplane mode). Any thoughts on why I might regret going with Pocketbook rather than Kobo..?
