Rank 5 out of 6Stiftung WarentesteBook-Reader im Test - So lässt es sich lesenReleaseMay 2022

Is one of the few eBook readers with a colour screen. However, colour saturation cannot keep up with LC or OLED displays. Patterns of colour pixels easily visible, even in black-and-white mode. Audio output via Bluetooth and USB jack adapter, memory expandable.

The PocketBook InkPad Color is a well-equipped reader with colour ambitions. However, you should not expect the splendour of a smartphone or tablet, because the colours appear rather pale. However, those who value dosed colour highlighting, for example in non-fiction books, will be well served by the colour e-paper in the PocketBook InkPad Color.

The handy InkPad Color offers almost unadulterated reading fun. It convinces with a sharp display and many functions, but disappoints with colour reproduction.

    With the Pocketbook InkPad Color, reading now becomes more colourful. The comfort you are used to from Pocketbook and the variety of available sources remain the same. In addition to comics, the reader with the coloured display also lures books from the usual grey-on-grey of normal readers.
