That is the control for the frontlight, and it is one of the nicer features. The only obvious detail on the front of the InkPad are the page turn buttons and that strip, but if you look closely you’ll find a sensor strip above the screen. There’s also a strip of rubber above and below the buttons to help you grip the InkPad, and a corresponding rubber pad on the back. It has a brown plastic shell with page turn buttons to the right of the screen. The screen resolution is 1,600 x 1,200.īased on the design of the Color Lux, the 8″ color E-ink ereader which Pocketbook released last year, the InkPad has an unbalanced design which makes it ideal for one handed use. It sports an 8″ Pearl E-ink screen with frontlight and touchscreen. It has 4GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, Wifi, and a headphone jack. The InkPad runs Pocketbook’s proprietary OS on a 1GHz CPU with 512MB RAM. I am happier now than I was with the original firmware, but in either case I like the InkPad and continue to use it as my main ebook reader. This fixed the problem with the Epub bug, and it added more formatting options (as well as another Epub bug). About a month after posting the review I got the chance to downgrade my InkPad to the v4.x firmware. This review is based on a Pocketbook InkPad running the v5.4 firmware. ![]() They never actually got around to shipping it, and then stopped responding to my emails, forcing me to complain to Pocketbook corporate in order to get the parent company to ship my order. I bought my review unit from Pocketbook France in early September 2014.
