PocketBook Inkpad 4
Hey there,
PocketBook just released a new 7,8" ebook-reader, the Inkpad 4, a successor to the 5-year-old Inkpad 3. Various german news websites report, the device will be available in the color "moon silver" starting mid-april for 289€. -> https://www.computerbase.de/2023-03/...-4-generation/ Notable changes: - New design (similar to the Pocketbook Era) - slightly smaller (134.0 × 189.0 × 79.0 mm) - bigger battery (2000mAh instead of 1900mAh) - newest Carta 1200 Display - much havier then its predecessor (265g instead of 210g). - 32gb of Storage - USB-C - IPX8 water resistance - Supports Amazon's proprietary file-formats (AZW, AZW3) Last edited by kyôdai; 03-28-2023 at 02:39 PM. |

A flush screen and no SD card slot?
I would be interested in a device like this partly for manga and Italians comics, but not without an SD card slot. |

Very happy to see the buttons on the bottom (which means the LEDs will be on the bottom.) Gives me hope that a new Touch HD 4 will also be designed something like this. Looks like PocketBook decided to trade light weight for more robustness. Probably a good decision, as this looks like what Kobo also did with their bigger screens. As this has Bluetooth and speakers and is waterproof, I'm guessing it's more of a replacement for the InkPad 3 Plus than the InkPad 3 (though I'm guessing it's replacing both).

No, but I hope one is. They may consider the Era its replacement, though — I'm not sure. PocketBook doesn't seem to give much notice when they come out with new readers. I don't recall anyone mentioning that the new InkPad 4 was in the works.
