PocketBook InkPad Color 3 E-Book Reader | Enhanced 7.8'' Colour E-Paper E Ink Screen | Eye-Friendly E-Reader for Comics | SMARTlight | Audiobooks & Text-to-Speech | Bluetooth® & Built-in Speaker

I've come to this from a series of Kobo devices. This is still mostly plastic too, but leagues ahead of Kobos in build quality. The Kaleido 3 screen is good - as with other colour ereaders there's a "screen door" visible if you look very closely, but at normal reading distance it is not perceptible. The front light is clear and even, which is important because due to Kaleido 3 being quite dark you have to use the front light most of the time. The ereader software is merely OK. It is easy to add new fonts (easier than Kobo) but it is a bit buggy unless you use epub 3. There are updates coming in late 2024 that will improve the software significantly, judging from the screenshots. The built-in text-to-speech is great! The only downside: it is not possible to buy it (or any accessories like cases) directly in the UK unless you import it from someone on Amazon Marketplace. Please fix this, Pocketbook.

Legge qualunque formato di file testo (epub, mobi, rtf, doc, txt, pdf, cbz, cbr), colori piacevoli anche se con poco contrasto, legge i principali file audio e immagine, connessione wifi e bluetooth. Caricare i file è facile (connessione via USB e copia incolla), la memoria più che sufficiente anche per i formati comic più pesanti. Buon adattamento del testo e rotazione automatica.

I've been testing a number of the Kaleido 3 e-ink screens to find the best one for both ebooks and comics, and thus far this PocketBook InkPad Color 3 is by far the best. While it's software is far more limiting than something like the Boox Note Air3 C (the Boox uses a customized version of Android, with full access to the Google Play Store; whereas the PocketBook uses a stripped down Linux OS that is more equivalent to the OS on a Kindle or Kobo ereader), it excels in what is designed for - reading! The biggest thing that sets it apart from other Kaleido 3 is the quality of the screen. I'm honestly not sure what PocketBook is doing differently than competitors, but the screen is both sharper and more vibrant. When reading a book, or anything black and white, the background is much closer to the neutral white of the latest Carta 1200 e-ink screens. Other Kaleido 3 screens have a grayish background, which reduces overall contrast and makes it harder to read without the use of the front light. Colors are also a far bit more vibrant and true to life (though nowhere near that of a traditional LCD or OLED display - understandably). My biggest complaint is the screen size. I find the 7.8" size a bit awkward, being a bit too big for ebooks and not big enough for comics. I would love a larger 10+" screen which would be great for comics, but still useable for ebooks. As it is, comics look good on the 7.8" screen, but can definitely be hard to read without some panning and zooming (which is not great on an e-ink screen, any e-ink screen).

Quería un ereader con pantalla a color, y con un tamaño cercano a un libro . Busqué y probé varios, al final me decidí por este porque tenía características que yo buscaba: Que fuera impermeable para leer con tranquilidad en verano. Que fuera a color, que tuviera no menos de 7”. No me gustan leer en ebook pequeños. Y sobre todo que no me complicara la vida a la hora de pasar libros, acepta todo tipo de formatos. Es tan fácil como conectarte a tu ordenador, acepta todos los formatos. También puedes enviarlo por email y sin problema , más sencillo imposible. La duración de la batería es una barbaridad, me lo llevé de vacaciones con lectura diaria y no tuve que cargarlo . Llevo casi 2 años con él y ha merecido el precio.
