PocketBook is thrilled to announce the next e-reader in the popular “InkPad” product line. The new PocketBook InkPad 4 features a 7.8-inch screen with the latest E Ink Carta™ 1200 generation technology, a built-in speaker, Bluetooth®, and water protection with IPX8 capabilities.

Traditionally for InkPads, it includes the adaptive SMARTlight, audiobooks support and Text-to-Speech function.

Thanks to the new modern design, the PocketBook InkPad 4 is compact, perfectly ergonomic, and stylish. Discreet front and back panels in black contrast with moon-silver edging. Despite the large screen, the device weighs only 265 g, making it equally convenient for relaxing reading and reading on the go.

The E Ink Carta™ 1200 screen is even more eye-friendly

PocketBook InkPad 4 has the latest 7.8-inch E Ink Carta™ 1200 screen with a resolution of 1404 × 1872 and 300 PPI. With this new technology, the electronic page has 15% more contrast, while the E Ink response time has increased by 20%.

The new e-reader also stands out with a screen size as close as possible to a standard printed book. It makes it highly convenient for reading any content: from ordinary fiction books to professional literature, magazines, and even comics.

Change the frontlight tone with the SMARTlight

Thanks to the SMARTlight function, users can enjoy safe reading in any lighting. The adaptive frontlight allows you to adjust not only the brightness of the screen but also the color temperature, choosing a warm or cool tone. Soft light from SMARTlight allows you to read comfortably even in complete darkness while the e-reader's screen remains eye-friendly.

Built-in speaker, Text-to-Speech, and other audio functions

PocketBook InkPad 4 supports 6 audio formats and features a built-in speaker. It provides a new level of freedom to all audiobook fans as they can listen to any audio file directly on the e-reader without any other devices. Thanks to Bluetooth, PocketBook InkPad 4 can always be paired with wireless headphones, speakers, and other audio systems to enjoy an audiobook in any convenient format.

Particularly noteworthy is the Text-to-Speech function, which turns the e-reader into a real storyteller. With just two clicks, PocketBook InkPad 4 will read aloud any text file with a natural-sounding voice in one of 26 available languages. In other words, users can quickly turn any ordinary text into a real audiobook.

IPX8 water resistance and scratch protection
