Pocketbook has an official Amazon storefront, and that is one of the ways they can sell e-readers directly in the US and other international markets. The company has discounted almost every e-reader and e-notebook in its portfolio. One of the significant advantages of the Pocketbook brand is that most of its models feature physical page-turn buttons, which is a feature that the industry has largely moved away from. Some of them have expandable storage, such as an SD card. They also have the most support for every major e-book format.
Most of these deals are only available in the United States, but it remains to be seen if a few of them would be discounted in Canada, the UK, or Europe.
