PocketBook InkPad Color 3 E-Book Reader | Enhanced 7.8” Color E-Paper E-Ink Screen | Eye-Friendly E-Reader for Comics | SMARTlight | Audiobooks & Text-to-Speech | Bluetooth® &…

Joli design, assez bon écran bien que sombre à cause de la technologie couleur. Malheureusement le logiciel ne suit pas, il n’y a pas de sens de lecture japonais ni de double page. Les mangas sont donc assez peu lisibles sur cette liseuse et c’est bien dommage. Le zoom est si lent qu’on ne peut pas l’utiliser.

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.

I mistakenly assumed that in the 15 years since I bought the first Amazon Paper White, something had changed, but it turned out that everything has only gotten worse. The color has appeared, but it is quite pale, the same screen response remain, the impression is that the manufacturer is trying to offer us old technologies in new packaging.

When you first launch the PocketBook, it contains many books in different languages, why do I need this? I prefer a clean device, without garbage, of which there is plenty here; if I need to read the classics, I’ll just take a paper book from the shelf, it’s just stupid to read free books of the classics, especially if you have a paper copy. If necessary, I will have time to download them. Now I spend time to delete them.

The size of the cloud is simply ridiculous, 2 gigabytes, what will fit on them? The manufacturer does not think that having a color book, the user wants to have a larger free space on the cloud by purchasing the PocketBook.

The built-in memory capacity of 32 gigabytes is also not enough for today; the magazines that I was going to read had already reached 40 gigabytes. I want to be able to host the entire collection without splitting or using clouds. Dropbox is buggy, there’s no point in using it. The manufacturer did not add a slot for a memory card, this is a very big mistake.

After connecting to the laptop via USB, after 5 minutes of transfer an error message appeared and the book’s file system was damaged and I stacked with alarm message on the screen. All settings are gone, are you laughing? Well, basically what I expected from PocketBook?

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem E-Book. Das einzige, was meiner Meinung nach verbessert werden muss, ist das Wörterbuch. Wenn Sie also ein Wort nachschlagen möchten, verlassen Sie das Buch, das Sie gerade lesen, und müssen dann zurückgehen. Sie werden jedoch auf die richtige Seite zurückgeführt. Ich würde ein Popup mit der Wörterbuchbeschreibung erwarten.

English:
I,m very happy with the ebook, the only thing I think they need to improve on is the dictionary . So if you want to check a word, you actually leave the book you are reading and then need to go back, it does take you back to the correct page however. I would expect a popup with the dictionary description

A wonderful e-reader. Two-tone lighting – warm and cool. Not super bright, which I like. The speed is not fast, but to me, it is definitely faster than my old worn-out 10-year-old e-reader, and that’s perfectly adequate for reading books rather than constantly scrolling through the internet.
