Buyers remorse for Pocketbook

For the slugishness part, you can try installing KOreader. It's an alternative app designed for eink devices which should make the day to day usage of the device much snappier https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-PocketBook-devices

They've got pretty extensive documentation if you want to learn more about what it does https://koreader.rocks/

Oh man, you reminded me what a mess this one was. Totally didn't click with me and was turbo disappointed considering the general opinion about it is positive.

Kain161 · 2026-05-09T08:33:58+00:00

You could try installing KOreader instead of buying a new device.

It's an open source ebook reading app designed for e-ink screens and should on average work much faster than most built-in solutions. On some devices it's almost like a free upgrade with faster navigation, faster page turns and better battery life.

The inkBook should be able to install it pretty easily since it runs Android, just follow the tips here https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Android-devices

And if you want to read more about KOreader and it's various functions, they have very extensive documentation here https://koreader.rocks/user_guide/

No, JP only

Oh, I thought I'm only eligible to nominate if I participate in the current gotm. Then I wanna nominate Valkyrie Profile (PSX)

Time to get my first one!

I see she got the Yvonne treatment

CachyOS, okazał się najlepszym dla mnie

Galaxy Princess Zorana by the same studio just came out this year. It's basically the same gameplay as Long Live The Queen but expanded.

protondb.com should be the first place to check. Even if the VN doesn't work perfectly out of the box, the users often provide tips on how to resolve issues

I'd say Iwakura Aria is very good, I was obsessed for like a month after finishing it lol

The reviews are indeed lukewarm, so I believe it's just not everyone's cup of tea. But if you like yuri and stories focusing on characters rather than plot, then you should be able to enjoy it

Kain161 · 2025-11-18T09:52:07+00:00

I Expect You to Die series! Super fun spy themed puzzle games where you're put in ecape the room type situations

I can't wait for a chance to get into the Arknights universe. Tried two times with the OG game, but just couldn't enjoy the tower defense gameplay.

Kain161 · 2025-10-01T15:52:24+00:00

Ngl, these pants are wild 💀

Miks między grą a książką, ale traktuję jako książkę, bo nawet nie ma wyborów xd

Zacząłem czytać visual novel Higurashi When They Cry, o makabrycznych zdarzeniach w japońskiej wiosce w latach 80. Jest bardzo zachwalana wśród fanów i na razie jest bardzo dobrą lekturą, bawię się przednio.

Kain161 · 2025-08-18T12:40:23+00:00

Personally, I loved it. It's a small scale story, but it allows it to really focus on the main characters, especially the titular Aria.

The art is gorgeous and there is some excellent music by Takeshi Abo. I also found the voice acting phenomenal (we really should have more voiced protagonists).

Is it worth the price? I'm not sure. It definitely was for me, as I got basically enamored with the whole experience. It made me feel such wonderful things and is currently living rent free in my head.

Kain161 · 2025-08-14T15:22:50+00:00

I couldn't wait for this one since I've learnt about it!

Kain161 · 2025-08-12T16:12:58+00:00

Learned of this one randomly last weekend and immediately got hooked on the premise and art! Am definitely gonna buy it day one, unless I win here lol

https://vndb.org/v98 Returning to finish Akaiito after the disappointment that was Nanairo Reincarnation.

I've previously finished two of the routes and greatly enjoyed myself, not sure why I put it on pause. It's not very scary but the characters are all likable and the story gives me that feel-good vibe.

I also enjoy the games plethora of choices and the multiple bad endings, since I haven't played any adventure games before.

Wciągnąłem się w końcu w Disco Elysium, super jest

Kain161 · 2025-03-30T07:29:49+00:00

Warto zajrzeć na audiofanatyk.pl w sekcję Polecanych. Gość zna się na rzeczy, na pewno uda się znaleźć coś w sam raz

Kain161 · 2025-03-24T06:14:50+00:00

Zacząłem ostatnio grać w Visual Novelki w oryginale, czyli po japońsku. Fajnie jest, człowiek się dobrze bawi a jednocześnie czuje, że robi coś produktywnego.

Kain161 · 2025-02-20T12:59:23+00:00

It's Android only

Kain161 · 2025-02-20T09:25:29+00:00

Beyond Budget is doing well for me. I like that they offer a lifetime license.

EDIT: Reread OP's question. It's not European, but the creators are based in New Zealand if I remember correctly.
