The Pocketbook InkPad 3 (also called the PocketBook 740 in some places) is a new 7.8-inch ebook reader that I've posted about a couple of times recently. Unfortunately it's not sold in the US anywhere but it is available in other parts of the world. There's a listing for the InkPad 3 on eBay fromRead more
The brand new InkPad 3 might just be the best e-reader that Pocketbook has ever produced. The extra large screen and new warm light illumination system really makes it a compelling value proposition. It looks like Pocketbook is trying to seriously compete against the Kobo Aura One and Tolino Epos, but how does this model fair on its own merits? Hardware This InkPad 3 features a 7.8 inch E Ink Carta display with a resolution of 1872×1404 and 300 PPI. It has a front-lit display with 10 white LED lights and 9 orange.

The Touch HD 3 e-reader is one of the best mid level devices that Pocketbook has ever released. It has a very interesting design with the brushed aluminum and manual page turn buttons. The big selling points is the audio functionality, a color temperature glowlight system, Bluetooth and is the fact it is completely waterproof. The Pocketbook line of e-readers does not lock you into a walled garden and plays nice with the majority of ebook formats out there, such as PDF, EPUB, DJVU, FB2, FB2.ZIP, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PRC, TXT, CHM, HTM, HTML, MOBI, ACSM. Pocketbook pays a license feeRead more

The Pocketbook Touch Lux 3 came out in early 2016 and it was due for a refresh. The company has just issued the 4th generation model and it completely redesigns the e-reader and it is now similar to the InkPad. Hardware The Pocketbook Touch Lux 4 features a six inch E Ink Carta display with a resolution of 1024×758 and uses a capacitive touchscreen. It has a new front-lit display, packing in higher quality LED lights than previous models, although it does not have a color temperature system. Underneath the hood is a Allwinner A13 single core 1GHz  processor, 512MBRead more
