Product details

8-inch reading pleasure – both day and night! The new PocketBook InkPad is a 20.32 cm premium E-Ink reader with LED front lighting for maximum reading enjoyment at any time of the day or night.

Thanks to its screen size, the new PocketBook InkPad can now display significantly more information on a single page. Even with larger text, there is less need to turn pages frequently. Therefore, the PocketBook InkPad is the first choice, especially for reading academic literature and periodicals, as well as for working with graphics and tables, such as in PDF or Djvu formats.

The new PocketBook InkPad is equally suitable for the workplace and for relaxed reading at home. Students and pupils will particularly appreciate an e-book reader of this size, as it closely matches the dimensions of standard textbooks.

Rank 10 out of 12KonsumentE-Book-Reader 4/2015ReleaseJune 2015

Mit 347 Gramm das zweitschwerste getestete Gerät. Sehr groß, mit hochauflösendem Display. Das InkPad braucht lange, um Bücher zu öffnen. Wegen der Größe nur schwer mit einer Hand zu bedienen. MP3-Wiedergabe. Vorlesefunktion (Text to Speech) nachinstallierbar.

Schwächen lassen sich beim PocketBook InkPad nur hinsichtlich der Handhabung finden. Ansonsten ist der eBook-Reader jedoch frei von großen Schwächen. Er besitzt ein überzeugendes Display, das Laden von Büchern gelingt gut und auch die Ausstattung kann sich sehen lassen. Der ausdauernden Akku komplettiert das gute Gesamtergebnis.
