The anticipation was high in France, and the Vivlio brand is struggling to keep up with the demand for the Vivlio Light HD Color e-reader.
This device is now sold out online, and buyers have to turn to physical stores to purchase it.
The Vivlio Light HD Color e-reader is a French version of the Pocketbook Verse Pro Color.
It features a French interface and a library boasting hundreds of thousands of books in French.
During my review (in French), I noted the superiority of the Vivlio Light HD Color e-reader in terms of color display compared to its competitors.
It's worth mentioning that this e-reader is truly intriguing, in France, with its color e-ink screen and affordable price.
Maintaining a compact 6-inch format while offering premium features from Vivlio (such as text-to-speech), this e-reader has established itself in France.
The Vivlio brand has also gained popularity in recent years, and its French identity appeals to readers who wish to support local businesses and distance themselves from brands like Kindle (American) or Kobo (Canadian-Japanese).
However, it's unfortunate that the stock for this e-reader has been limited. In defense of Vivlio, it’s not the only issue faced with color e-readers this fall; the Kindle Colorsoft has also encountered difficulties.
With the numerous color e-reader models released in recent months, it's clear that E Ink, the supplier of the screens, may be overwhelmed and likely cannot provide screens in nearly unlimited quantities, unlike the historical black-and-white models.
Fortunately for fans of the Vivlio brand and color e-ink, the Vivlio InkPad Color 3 is still available. This is a French version of the Pocketbook InkPad Color 3.
