Let’s get straight to the point: digital reading and e-readers are experiencing a revival in 2024. The launch of the Crema Pebble e-reader in Korea is a testament to this, even though there is a noticeable lack of innovation.

The Crema Pebble is an e-reader introduced by the Korean online bookstore Yes24, one of the largest in the country.

Now, when I say “new”, it's worth noting that the Crema brand has been offering e-readers for a few years, including the Crema Motif. However, to be honest, I didn't expect it to last.

Like Vivlio in France, Nook in the USA, or Tolino in Germany, the Crema Pebble targets a local audience and has no greater ambition than to convince Yes24 customers to transition to digital reading with a device tailored specifically for Korean users and readers.

What’s surprising, though, is that the Crema Pebble is uniquely designed. It features entirely new hardware, making it distinct from other e-readers.

This stands in contrast to developments in other countries in recent years, where:

• French e-reader brand Vivlio uses Pocketbook hardware.
• German e-readers Tolino utilize Kobo hardware.

This e-reader boasts a 6-inch black and white E Ink display with fairly standard specifications and runs on Android 11.

Its weight of 139 grams is very impressive, placing it among the lightest in its category.

Currently, no availability has been announced outside of Korea, and the e-reader is expected to launch in early September 2024 for around $160.
