PocketBook InkPad Color 3 · Customization
Add your own fonts to the PocketBook InkPad Color 3
Copy TrueType or OpenType fonts to a folder on the InkPad Color 3 and select them from the reading menu. No extra software needed.
Adding fonts to a PocketBook is a plain copy into a “fonts” folder. Unlike Kobo, you do not need to follow a strict file-naming pattern — PocketBook reads the family and style from inside each font file. On the InkPad Color 3, pair a good font with black-and-white mode for the crispest reading.
-
Gather the font files
You need files ending in ".ttf" or ".otf". A family usually comes as four — regular, bold, italic and bold-italic. Copy all four so books that use bold and italic display correctly.
-
Connect the InkPad Color 3 to your computer
Use the USB-C cable and accept the connection prompt. The device appears as a drive.
-
Open or create the "fonts" folder
At the top level of the drive there may already be a "fonts" folder. If not, create one, spelled exactly that way in lower case, next to the "Books" and "system" folders.
-
Copy your font files into it
Drag the .ttf or .otf files in. Sub-folders per family are fine; the device looks inside them.
-
Eject the drive and unplug
Use your computer's eject or "safely remove" option, then disconnect. The device rebuilds its font list.
-
Select the font while reading
Open a book, tap the top centre for the reading menu, and open the font settings. Your added fonts appear in the list with the built-in ones. PocketBook also lets you set a default font for all books in Settings, under "Personalize".
