I've been using PocketBook InkPad Color 3 for nearly two years, no complaints here in terms of the quality Size does matter. The minimum level of comfort for novels and simple books is 6". 7" is noticeably better. If you plan to read regular books without a lot of color images, get a devices with B&

Is it the first version? You don’t mention a number so I suspect it is. I have the Inkpad color 3 and I like it quite a bit. The 8” size is better then 7” reader like the Colorsoft and Kobo Libra Colour for comics. I think it may be on larger side for travel but if you have the room, go for it. That

Faster hardware would make me upgrade. I mean all e-ink is slow, but Pocketbook is on the slow side even then. More frequent software updates would be good. I just looked at the 6.10 releases (the one with the Pocketbook x Libby app): the first device got 6.10 in August 2025, and the last device (so

Ich hab mir eine Pocketbook geholt, weil ich nich nicht mehr von Amazon abhängig sein wollte und ich auch die Sortierung ziemlich scheiße fand. Jetzt nutze ich das Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Einziges Makel.. Die Knöpfe am Kindle Oasis fand ich besser platziert.

Growing up in school I hated reading. None of the required reading books ever did anything for me, so I rarely actually read them. But that all changed in 2011 when I got a Kindle Keyboard and found out I could read books that I actually liked. It's been wondering and I've been singing the praises o

I bought a PocketBook InkPad Color 3 a year ago and wanted to love it but it's a frustrating device. It is so insanely slow. Navigating menus to do anything other than turn pages in a book made me mad. Especially frustrating because other manufacturers manage to make their eReaders snappy. I switche

I almost exclusively read Manga and I "only" have 32gb build in without a SD card slot, which is unfortunately not enough. It is cheap for manufacturers to build in and I can't understand they don't give this flexibility to users tbh. I'm using a PocketBook InkPad Color 3.

As a reader of comics and an ereader collector, a 7” reader is really too small. If you really want to get him a color e-ink device I recommend the Pocketbook InkPad Color 3. It’s 8” and a dedicated ereader so you don’t have to worry about Android apps and distractions. I still think e-ink isn’t qui

Not a bad idea at all! I would suggest going for a larger colour e-reader so it displays the images more nicely and in a bigger format, which is nice if you're all huddled around the same screen. Take a look at the pocketbook inkpad color 3 on the low end of the budget and the boox note air4c in the

It looks like you have a defective unit. Sometimes it happens with early batches. I've been using PocketBook InkPad Color 3 for ~2 years and am very happy with this device. I got it as a replacement for Kobo Libra Color, which had the issue with greenish backlight and software stability.
