Great compatibility with various ebook formats and cloud services

Expandable storage with microSD card slot

Physical buttons for easy navigation

Verdict

The PocketBook InkPad 3 Pro has a mixed reception among reviewers. Some praise its large, crisp screen, expandable storage, and compatibility with various ebook formats and cloud services. Others criticize its weak hardware, slow performance, and difficulty handling large PDFs. The physical buttons and integration with Koreader are seen as positives, while the lack of USB-C and waterproofing are drawbacks. Overall, the InkPad 3 Pro is considered a solid option for those looking for a non-Amazon e-reader with a larger screen, but may not be the best choice for heavy PDF users or those seeking top-of-the-line features.

I bought the bigger screen InkPad 3 Pro hoping that it would give a much better experience than a Kindle, but was very disappointed. It's lightweight but... It can barely handle PDFs, the screen is still much too small for any textbooks, etc. As a news reader, it's extremely laggy, limited to the fe...

Could you recommend me an ereader?

You can easily swap out the internal microSD card for one with bigger storage, it’s compatible with Adobe digital editions ADE)/ has overdrive integration allowing you to borrow library books with ease (in specific countries directly from the device itself), or easily transfer them as well as DRMd books purchased from Google play books/ directly from publishers. It’s a really excellent device, has a really crisp 300ppi screen, and is compact and portable.

I am happy with InkPad for many reasons: 1) bigger screen - 7.8 inches against 6 inches in my previous book, but not too ...

Got myself a Pocketbook Touch HD 3 this monday and I have a hard time to read my physical books now. This thing is great!

The inkpad pro 3 is probably their best device, though. The Pocketbook line of e-readers does not lock you into a walled garden and plays nice with the majority of ebook formats out there while still offering the robust Linux experience unlike the more flaky android experience. I also, think the manual buttons are placed better than the Oasis and Kobo Libra. The latter devices alienate a big chunk of users.

PocketBook InkPad Color Review

Content is as important as delivery. The PocketBook InkPad Color ($329) is a lightweight device that displays color comics and PDFs on a large color e-ink screen that's wonderfully readable even in sunlight. That's a real feat. But PocketBook doesn't offer native support for any of the most popular ...
