Vivlio Light HD Color: a New French Color e-reader

Author: Nicolas ᚚ

Vivlio Light HD Color

It's no longer a secret, but we now have confirmation that the next color e-reader from the French brand Vivlio will be called the Vivlio Light HD Color – and we also know its price.

Indeed, everything comes from the French Cultura website which has released the product page for a new e-reader called Vivlio Light HD Color.

This e-reader is equipped with a 6-inch color electronic ink screen using Kaleido 3 technology and thus offers an alternative to the recent Kobo Clara Colour, which has been the only next-generation color e-reader available in France so far.

Here are the technical specifications of the Vivlio Light HD Color e-reader:

  • Color electronic ink screen
  • Touchscreen with SmartLight blue light filter and lighting
  • Compatible file formats: EPUB, PDF, FB2, FB2.ZIP, TXT, DJVU, HTM, HTML, DOC, DOCX, RTF, CHM, TCR, PRC (MOBI), JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF
  • Audiobook playback with Bluetooth 5.4
  • Supported audio formats: M4A, M4B, OGG, OGG.ZIP, MP3, and MP3.ZIP
  • Wifi
  • IPX8 certification (waterproof)
  • Text-to-speech function

A release date has also been announced, but we will have to wait a little longer since this e-reader will be available on 09/16/2024.

The set price is €179.99. This price is well-positioned for a French product that offers several advantages over the competition:

  • MP3 audiobook playback (which Kobo does not offer)
  • Text-to-speech that converts ebooks into audiobooks with integrated software (something no other brand offers in France)

Finally, the Vivlio Light HD Color will only cost €10 more than the Vivlio Light HD, which was already an excellent e-reader.

So, thanks to Vivlio, we won't break the bank when switching to a color e-reader! I'm going to save a bit of money to treat myself to this Vivlio color e-reader and provide you with a thorough review once it's available.

Of course, this e-reader will not be available outside of France.

But rest assured, the Vivlio brand uses Pocketbook e-readers.

Therefore, this e-reader is essentially a Pocketbook Verse Pro Color marketed under the Vivlio brand and adapted for the French market, especially with a new integrated bookstore.

If these specifications interest you, you can also consider the Pocketbook Verse Pro Color e-reader.
