PocketBook InkPad Color 3
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. The InkPad Color 3 adds a 7.8-inch E Ink Kaleido 3 colour screen, which changes what it is good for — comics, magazines, illustrated non-fiction and colour-coded study notes. This section covers setting up a new one, loading books, getting the colour screen to look its best, and its speaker-and-Bluetooth audio. The Calibre and KOReader sections cover those; Customization covers fonts, remapping the buttons and the sleep screen.
