PocketBook Era Color
The new 7-inch PocketBook Era Color has been announced. It will be a new version of the Era with an E-Ink Kaleido 3 screen, a faster processor (quadcore 1.8 GHz) and 32 GB of memory. It is likely to be previewed at the Leipzig Book Fair.
Here is an article describing the new model (in Polish): http://cyfranek.booklikes.com/post/6...cali-w-kolorze Pocketbook's web site (English) Pocketbook's web site (German) Pocketbook's web site (Italian) Last edited by pdurrant; 03-19-2024 at 12:16 PM. Reason: added links to pocketbook's site |

Is it the same device introduced December 13, 2022 that is sold as "Pocketbook Viva"?

From what I've seen the Kaleido 3 screens aren't as good at displaying colours as the Gallery 3 screens. Far faster to refresh, but nowhere near as vibrant in colour.

Thanks for the information. It's a shame, I find "G3" more interesting just because of the higher resolution (300dpi for color) and better contrast compared to Caleido.

But yes, colour and shades of Kaleido is rubbish compared to Gallery 3. About 1/10th of colour range, no saturated colours and darker. Last edited by Quoth; 03-19-2024 at 03:22 PM. |

Just look at the Bigme Galy reviews - I understand that PocketBook didn't want to release an e-reader that worked as badly as the Galy.

So is this the InkPad Eo that was on the FCC, or is that a device yet to appear?
It'll be interesting to compare the display with the InkPad Color 3, as they are both Kaleido 3 but the Era Color's display is flush so has some extra layer. The Era Color is about the same weight as the OG Era so the battery is probably the same size. |

It is strange, that it is only 7 gramms heavier then the normal Era despite the bigger battery. But maybe they were able to shave some weight off elsewhere. The Era (228g) is a rather heavy 7 inch reader to begin with. It is a solid 40g heavier then the Kindle Oasis (188g). |

The CPU, RAM and battery seems identical to the InkPad Color 3. That's good. |
