Question about PocketBook InkPad Color
Has anyone read magazines on this? How is the quality of the images of books?
I've had the reader for a short time now and have tried reading ct on it. It doesn't work so well out of the box yet:
- multi-column layouts are hard to read
- pdf pinch and zoom is sluggish
- navigating to the next page takes time in pdfs
- depending on the source, the fonts are bitmaps, then it looks really bad
- b/w and colour are displayed in different resolutions
- Graphics in themselves look usable
- pdf reflow is a plus point of the device, but in the usecase magazine the reflow is overtaxed.
However, you can help yourself, check out the tool k2pdfopt, which does a preprocessed reflow and more. In my experiments, this self-explanatory one-liner has worked well: /k2pdfopt -c ct.pdf -w 468 -h 624 -dpi 100 -idpi -2 -n -x -title ct_13 -f2p -1 -col 4 -cg 0.1 -cgmax 1.5 -ch 3 -cgr 0.33 -crgh 0.0138889 -comax 0.3
The result is a good-looking single-column pdf with the graphics downsampled to the physical resolution of the device.

You will find some feedback from other customers in the reviews. Otherwise, there are also some detailed tests on the internet, but unfortunately we do not have any real empirical values.
