Screen resolution in color mode is 702x936 (150 dpi).

The progressive e-book PocketBook InkPad Color 3 was introduced to the world in the second half of 2023. The manufacturer used the most advanced E Ink Kaleido 3 screen, which ensures comfortable reading of illustrated color content. The diagonal of 7.8” is optimally suited for both home and travel use, and the ergonomic body design with a ribbed back panel securely holds the device in your hands while on the move.

For reading black-and-white materials, a Dark Mode is provided, and the SMARTlight backlighting is helpful during the evening. Control is via touch + buttons. Connectivity is handled through Wi-Fi 5. The software includes mechanisms for voice reading and music playback. Built-in speakers and a Bluetooth module for wireless headsets are implemented for this. The PocketBook InkPad Color 3 is versatile in terms of support for all file types. Dictionaries and a browser for book searching are available by default. There is 32 GB of memory available for storing your personal library.

My first reader. Happy, I recommend it.
Voice reading - you lie there chilling, and it just tells you))). The battery lasts very long! Files transfer perfectly via cable.
It slows down a bit. There is no case and charger, I bought it separately.

All-weather and format-friendly

The PocketBook InkPad Color 3 e-reader stands out for its versatility, both in technical specifications and software features. The body is made of durable plastic and is rated IPX8, allowing you to use the e-reader safely while bathing, relaxing by the sea, or outdoors in the rain. Ergonomics are well thought out: a ribbed back panel and rounded corners provide a secure grip and comfort during long reading sessions. The device supports a wide range of formats—from e-books and images to music and audiobooks—eliminating the need to convert files. This makes finding and downloading content as easy as possible, whether from official libraries or third-party sources. The 32 GB of built-in storage lets you keep a large collection of titles, and you can quickly update it via PocketBook Cloud and Dropbox. In addition, the device supports multiple languages and can instantly translate text while you read the original. For a change of pace, there are built-in games—chess, Sudoku, Klondike—as well as an RSS news feed.

Vivid impressions

The E Ink Kaleido 3 display delivers sharp, lifelike visuals, showing 16 shades of gray and up to 4096 colors. The 7.8-inch screen with a resolution of 1872×1404 pixels offers good detail and is easy on the eyes. SMARTlight automatically adjusts the color temperature to ambient conditions, while E Ink ComfortGaze reduces blue-light exposure to ease eye strain. You can control it via the touchscreen or physical buttons, though their placement isn’t always convenient for page-turning. The hardware includes dual-band Wi‑Fi 5, Bluetooth, a USB‑C port with audio output, a built-in speaker, and a G-sensor for automatic screen rotation. A weak spot is the amount of RAM—only 1 GB—so some features may run with a slight delay.
