PocketBook has announced the upcoming release of a new InkPad Color 3 with a 7.8-inch color E Ink screen just a few months after they released the InkPad Color 2. It looks like the InkPad Color 3 is exactly the same as the InkPad Color 2, except they’re using a newer Kaleido 3 screen instead […]

How to Add Custom Fonts to PocketBook eReaders
While reviewing the new PocketBook InkPad Color 2, I was critical of PocketBook’s seemingly random selection of font choices that don’t appear to be optimized for E Ink screens at all, and I posted an article complaining about how PocketBook doesn’t support adding your own fonts to their ereaders.
