Product details

Adjust the brightness and color temperature of the screen with the adaptive SMARTlight for warm or cool white display lighting. Listen to audiobooks directly on the e-reader through the built-in speaker or by pairing the e-reader with headphones or other devices. The feature converts text files into audiobooks: just two clicks and the PocketBook InkPad 4 reads any book aloud in a natural-sounding voice. The PocketBook InkPad 4 can withstand immersion in two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes. The e-reader's screen has enhanced scratch protection, providing even more security while reading on the go. The device is compact, ergonomic, and stylish: the subtle black front and back create a beautiful contrast with the silver-colored edge.
