Today, I’m going to tackle a big issue that I’ve always put aside: reading manga on e-readers. We’ll try to see together what can be the best e-reader for manga in 2025.

XTEINK seems to be riding the success of its XTEINK X4 (review here) and X3 mini e-readers, and is announcing the release of a new device that this time runs on the Android system.

With the rise of mini e-readers with electronic ink screens between 3 and 5 inches diagonally, it makes sense to see manufacturers jump in and follow this trend. After the Pocketbook Q, it is now Boox’s turn, and its Boox Picco, to get people talking.

After launching the “Pro” version of its flagship XTEINK X4 e-reader, the company specializing in pocket e-readers seemed to want to set the older model aside. But, to everyone’s surprise, a new version of the X4, labeled “classic”, has just been released.

The CEO of Kobo (or Rakuten Kobo, to use the full name) has just told Publishers Weekly that sales of its e-readers are rising sharply for the second year in a row in the US.

The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is the first color ereader released by Amazon, two years ago. It is also the most expensive one, with a price that now goes above $300. Well, it seems it is simply starting to disappear from Amazon stores worldwide… And there are several reasons for that.

While there is little information available about the evolution of e-ink, speculation is running high about the future Carta 1400 generation, which has been pushed back and will most likely arrive in 2027.

Pocketbook has just announced a new e-reader in the trendy smartphone-like format. The Pocketbook Q is expected in fall 2026 and will bring a new form factor and a promising black and white e-ink screen to a wide audience.

Cobalt is an open-source (free, libre) piece of software you can install on your Kobo e-reader. It then replaces the Kobo system to add extra functionality: software, games, tools, and so on.
