PocketBook InkPad 4
Guides
Step-by-step setup and how-to articles for this device.
PocketBook’s software is more open than Kobo’s or Amazon’s: you can copy almost any book file straight onto the device and it will open. On the InkPad 4 the 7.8-inch screen changes what is comfortable to read — full-size PDFs and comics work here in a way they do not on a 6-inch reader. This section covers setting up a new one, loading books, getting the most from documents, and its speaker-and-Bluetooth audio. The Calibre and KOReader sections cover those; Customization covers fonts, remapping the buttons and the sleep screen.
