Great e-reader

Extensive settings
Sometimes crashes.

The PocketBook InkPad Color 3 has been in my possession for 2 1/2 months now. The choice for the color version instead of the black/white version was in fact pure curiosity about an e-reader with color display, despite the fact that I only read regular books on the e-reader.

In practice, the PocketBook turns out to be a good e-reader with a pleasant screen and good battery life, although some comments should be made regarding the settings. I got the best result with: -brightness at 50%. -smartlight on “auto” -automatic switch off after 20 minutes. -wifi off.

Browsing is best done via the two buttons at the bottom of the e-reader. Furthermore, the software is so extensive that many settings are possible.

I download new books on my computer and from there the book is copied to the e-reader. No problems. I do not use the purchase of books directly via the e-reader, so I have no experience with that.

No downsides? One downside is that the e-reader occasionally crashes. However, it is quickly fixed, but remains annoying. Should be able to be solved with a software update.

Satisfied with the PocketBook? Certainly, very satisfied. I can certainly recommend the e-reader, but with the caveat that the color display is nice, but not more than that.

If you only read regular books and the little bit of color does not interest you, go for the black/white PocketBook Inkpad 4, because the color version is not really worth the extra price.

Exchanged Kobo Sage for this model. Very happy with the choice. No account needed, started up immediately, screen is much better with very little remains of the previous page and smart refresh. Colors are very nice. Also faster. Easy to connect to pc or send epubs via mail.

Great e-reader with nice color screen!

Screen
Handy size
Ease of use

Very happy with my Pocketbook Inkpad Color 3, which I bought as a second chance at Coolblue. The device is simply new, so an affordable and reliable purchase. Excellent E-reader with a nice 7.8 inch screen, which almost makes you feel like you are reading a pocket. Beautiful colours for an e-ink screen. Fast start-up, so nice and quick reading. I was surprised by the fast and easy transfer of epubs and pdfs from the PC to the e-reader. Just drag them from a PC folder to a folder on your Pocketbook. Due to the slightly larger size of the screen compared to a standard e-reader, you can also read comics on it with pleasure.
