PocketBook InkPad vs Pocketbook Era in our news:
2023. Dark Mode is now available on new Pocketbook e-readers
The new firmware version 6.8 adds a dark mode to the Pocketbook Era, Pocketbook InkPad 4 and Pocketbook InkPad Color 2. This feature is displaying white text on a dark background that doesn't clash with dark surroundings. You can also invert book illustrations while reading in dark mode. Many avid readers have found that dark mode helps reduce eye strain from a bright screen. Dark mode is also very useful for reading at night, as it reduces the amount of blue light (which can contribute to eye strain) emitted by the screen. Additionally, firmware version 6.8 adds the ability to customize the control panel to suit your preferences by adding the most frequently used controls (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, task manager, airplane mode, sync, G-sensor, lock, power off, screenshot, library search and shortcuts to apps).
2023. Pocketbook Inkpad 4 gets 7.8-inch screen
Pocketbook has released new Pocketbook Inkpad 4 e-reader. It features a 7.8-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display and temperature-controlled backlighting. The device has 32 GB of internal storage, built-in speakers for listening to audiobooks and IPX8-rated waterproof body. Other features include USB-C port rotation sensor, dual-core processor, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and 2000 mAh battery. However, the overall design of PocketBook InkPad 4 is quite attractive and similar in features to PocketBook Era, which is generally very good, except for the horribly blurry screen. The new E Ink Carta 1200 screens have higher contrast, but this is irrelevant when a smooth, cloudy layer is applied over it.
