Pocketbook launched the 7-inch model Era in July 2022. Nearly two years later, it has just announced that it will launch a new Pocketbook Era Color at the end of April 2024. This device will use the latest color Kaleido 3-panel version.
The biggest feature of Era Color is its 7-inch color Kaleido 3 display, which can display 4096 colors with a black and white resolution of 1264×1660 (300PPI) and a color resolution of 632×840 (150PPI). The processor has also been upgraded from the dual-core 1.0GHz of the previous generation Era to a quad-core 1.8GHz; although it continues to have 1GB RAM, the ROM has doubled from 16GB to 32GB, and the battery capacity has also increased from 1700 mAh to 2500 mAh. , but the weight only increased slightly from 228 grams to 235 grams. The SMARTlight reading light, Bluetooth, speakers, weight sensor, and IPX8 waterproof specifications of the previous generation are still maintained in this generation.
Era Color inherits a series of functions of Pocketbook, including audio book support and text-to-speech function, etc. It also supports a variety of e-book formats (including of course its signature EPUB and PDF files that can directly read DRM), and has a set of settings on the right side of the screen. There are page turning buttons, making it convenient for users to hold the e-reader with one hand and turn pages at the same time. As one of the few 7-inch color E-Ink readers currently on the market equipped with physical page turning keys, Pocketbook provides another option for reader enthusiasts. This Era Color is expected to be priced at US$259.99. We will report to you when the Pocketbook is officially released.
