Intuitive user interface, reduced weight, sharp contrast, pre-installed dictionaries - all these features make PocketBook Basic 3 the uncomplicated and perfect entry-level e-reader. Thanks to its powerful battery, it can be read for up to a month without recharging.

The PocketBook Basic 3 is equipped with a 6 inch E-Ink-Carta display of the latest generation. He thus promises a particularly eye-friendly representation of the letters analogous to those on printed paper. Even in the most glistening sunlight, the screen remains mirror-free and offers the user a razor-sharp typeface.

New literature can also be uploaded via a microSD card. In total, the internal 8 GB memory of the device can be expanded up to 32 GB. This provides sufficient space for an entire library.
With support for 17 popular book formats (PDF, PDF(DRM), EPUB, EPUB(DRM), DJVU, FB2, FB2.ZIP, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PRC, TXT, CHM, HTM, HTML, MOBI, ACSM) and 4 image formats (JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF), the reader gives the user the greatest possible freedom in the selection of content without tiresome conversion. The pre-installed dictionaries are indispensable for indexing foreign-language texts.

The simple menu navigation of the PocketBook Basic 3 E-Reading makes it child's play, even for inexperienced users.
