You can buy cables that have been certified by the USB-IF that should work correctly. On the downside they do cost more, but you know the old adage: you pays your money...

FWIW my rather overspecced (but certified!) cable from Satechi works fine with my Mac and Inkpad Color 3.

My InkPad Color 3 was not happy with the latest 6.8.3671 update installed via OTA. Auto Sync broke so it would fail to sync when entering standby, preventing the device from turning off after a few hours of inactivity. Aside from battery drain, the device also wouldn't properly wake from standby and would be stuck in a sync state until a hard reboot. Oddly, manual sync seemed to work fine.

I ended up manually reupdating the device (flashed over?) using a fresh copy of 6.8.3671, which fixed the issue.

Hi,
My Inkpad 3 had some troubles with the last update 6.8.3455.
Indeed, after the update some "Vivlio" logos reappeared (It's a French Inkpad but I installed the PocketBook updates) in some menus. The book cover was no longer displayed as I had set it when I turn it OFF.
I turned it off and then realized several hours later that the lighting hadn't gone out.
I turned it on after a very long press on the button and now it seems to be OK... ��

Does it contain anything interesting? Or since it is just 6.8.<bigger number, looks worryingly like a svn revision> is it just minor fixes?

The main highlight is addition of the dark mode.

'Added the DARKmode, recommended for reading in the dark.',
'Added the possibility to change the font size in the list of notes.',
'Automatic connection to BT headphones after the device is turned on.'

You've been using Pocketbook for some time, so you've probably noticed that the updates usually don't bring anything extra visible, at least not in such a small build difference as you write. " just minor fixes?"

I have already updated my Inkpad 4 and I am not sure if in the previous version it was possible to select "AUTO" especially for warm and cold light, see the picture?



I did a quick check, opened the book in ePUB, PDF, tried TTS for the audiobook, I didn't notice any changes. It's just that the device is a little more reactive, but it will be more like a fresh installation than a patch
