Product details

Out of passion for reading
PocketBook Touch Lux 3 Ruby Red – the limited edition of the bestselling model Touch Lux 3 combines style and reading comfort in one. The concept builds on the multiple award-winning predecessor and sets new standards in design. In fashionable ruby red, its successor is right on trend without sacrificing timeless elegance. The ruby, considered by many to be one of the most fascinating gemstones in the world, inspired the product designers in their color choice for the new PocketBook Touch Lux 3 Ruby Red. Thanks to the special color effect, the e-reader still sparkles in radiant ruby red even after years of use.

Freedom while reading
The internal 8 GB storage can be expanded by 32 GB using a microSD card. This provides ample space for several thousand books and a personal digital bookshelf. The powerful processor with a 1 GHz CPU and 256 MB of RAM ensure that pages turn smoothly and applications respond quickly.

The PocketBook Touch Lux 3 Ruby Red recognizes 18 book and four graphic formats (JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF) without the need for conversion. Whether via Wi-Fi, Dropbox, Send-to-PocketBook, or PocketBook Sync: any content can be loaded onto the e-reader without a PC connection.

As good as paper and even better
Beneath the elegant exterior lies reliable technology for pleasant reading on the e-reader: The screen with E Ink Carta technology and a high resolution (1024 x 758 pixels) provide strong contrasts, reducing eye strain while reading. Thanks to the LED front lighting, book lovers can read on the PocketBook Touch Lux 3 Ruby Red day and night without harming their eyes.
