It is impressive how much the segment of electronic book readers has advanced, encompassing more and better features beyond simply reading those titles that are already in possession.
As an example of this we have PocketBook InkPad Color 2, the new model of the line of electronic book reading devices of the Swiss brand PocketBook, which has just been presented today.
This new model not only stands out for its optimized 7.8” Kaleido Plus color electronic ink screen, but also for the adaptive SMARTlight function to customize the brightness and tone of the front light, the Text-to -Speech, or even through your speaker to listen to audiobooks and music, among other possibilities.
It is best to go in depth into its most outstanding features.
Entering through the eyes through its impressive screen
To do this, what better than to start with its screen, a 7.8-inch Kaleido Plus color electronic ink screen, capable of offering up to 4096 colors, according to the company.
In addition, the enhanced Color Filter Matrix makes the display capable of delivering improved performance for saturation and hue, making viewing e-book titles more elegant for a comforting experience.
But to make it comforting for everyone, one should not lose sight of the adaptive SMARTlight function, which allows users to customize the brightness and tone of the front light, and in any case, also adapt to any external lighting conditions.
With integrated speaker for audiobooks and music, among other possibilities
Another aspect of this new device to take into account is the integration of a speaker, which makes it easier to follow audiobook titles, although it is also useful for those moments when you want to listen to music, albeit in mono.
The PocketBook InkPad Color 2 also features Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, allowing it to be used to stream audio to an external speaker or wireless headset quickly and smoothly.
Through a USB type C to jack adapter it will also be possible to connect wired headphones.
The Text-to-Speech function, as its name suggests, allows you to convert text content into content with natural voices, which is like turning textbooks into audiobooks, coming with native support for English although it allows the download of additional languages .
And it also has a dictionary with 11 pre-installed language combinations.
Other aspects of the new device
The new PocketBook InkPad Color 2 features an efficient quad-core processor, 1 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, 2900 mAh lithium-polymer battery, dual-band WIFI connectivity, and support for PocketBook Cloud and Dropbox, for the acquisition, management and synchronization of titles with other devices, in addition to also supporting the ReadRate and Send-to-PocketBook services.
With support for Adobe DRM users will be able to borrow e-books through online libraries. And it also supports 21 book and 4 graphic formats, as well as 6 audio formats for audiobooks or music.
As operating system it has Linux 4.9.56
An ideal device to take with you even on vacation
The PocketBook InkPad Color 2 can be taken anywhere, even on vacation. In this sense, its IPX8 classification allows it to be submerged in fresh water at a depth of up to 2 meters for up to 60 minutes without suffering any damage.
Therefore, if you are reading electronic books or listening to audiobooks or music near a swimming pool, there is no need to worry about possible splashes, and with the addition that it has an elegant and ergonomic design that allows a better grip, well better than better.
