The e-reader company PocketBook has announced and released the InkPad Color, a 7.8-inch device that uses the latest color technology from E Ink. Tell PocketBook The edge that it is the first device with a new Kaleido panel available in the US and Europe.
According to the company, the new version of Kaleido has a different color filter pattern that offers better contrast and color saturation than the first Kaleido, which itself is fairly new technology. PocketBook also says that the refresh rate of the screen in software has been improved.
The specifications of the new Kaleido panel are different from the previous generation, with a resolution of 300 dpi for monochrome content and 100 dpi if you display colors. The overall screen resolution was increased to 1404 x 1872 due to the larger physical size. The InkPad Color weighs 225 g and is 8 mm thick, so it still needs to be fairly portable.

A few months ago, I checked out the PocketBook Color, which was one of the first Kaleido e-readers on the market in the world. I was generally impressed with the screen technology, but found the 6-inch panel too small to be practical for cases such as magazines and comics. A larger, improved screen can make the InkPad Color a much more useful device – hopefully we can see for ourselves soon.
The InkPad Color is already available on Newegg and Amazon for $ 329.
