2024. PocketBook unveiled new Verse Pro Color with 6″ Kaleido 3 Screen



PocketBook has launched the PocketBook Verse Pro Color, a new ereader featuring a 6″ E Ink Kaleido 3 screen, similar to the recently released Kobo Clara Colour. Priced at $169, it is $20 more than the Kobo, but offers additional features such as physical page buttons, text-to-speech (TTS) support and a generally higher build quality. Running on PocketBook's Linux-based software, the Verse Pro Color doesn't support Android apps but is compatible with KOReader and other apps. It includes 16GB of storage, a quad-core CPU for improved performance and is waterproof, though it lacks a memory card slot. The device has an indented screen, Smartlight with adjustable color temperature, Bluetooth for TTS and audiobooks and a USB port for audio adapters. Additionally, it supports Adobe DRM for purchased and library ebooks, along with various DRM-free formats.
