Hello,

I read a lot on my phone via Pearltrees. I want to start and buy an e-reader, but I wonder if I will have access to Pearltrees on it?

Could you enlighten me?
Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    I am responding to you although I am not at all a specialist on the matter.

    You will likely not be able to use Pearltrees on an e-reader.
    I assume that on your smartphone it's an app. It is out of the question that you could have it on an e-reader.
    If you are using the online version on a computer, that is likewise excluded.

    So your only solution is to purchase an e-reader with a wifi function to communicate with your smartphone.
    You probably already have a digital library: check to see if you will be able to read your books without issues.

    Another solution is to buy a tablet. You will have the Pearltrees app (which should be compatible with tablet format) on the tablet.
    However, there are many downsides: reading apps have fewer features than e-readers and above all, the battery life is greatly reduced: just a few hours.

      Hello
      thank you for the reply, that's exactly what I thought. I was leaning more towards the e-reader for eye comfort, the screen is gentler. I'll look into the Wi-Fi issue.
      Thank you

        You are absolutely right regarding eye comfort. The screen of a tablet is quite harsh.
