PocketBook Lux Color : the first reading lamp lit color is finally available

The Reader Pocketbook color is quietly reappeared in the store site PocketBook French , while it is simultaneously presented at the IFA in Berlin.

In Pocketbook , the ads are so many on the occasion of the IFA that almost seems that the brand has almost forgot to mention his bed jacket . And the media too, because no one talks about the new reading light on rare sites (including the site that Aldus has integrated reading light to its list of the 16 reading lights back officially announced yet ) and very few also specialized discussion forums .


A bed jacket repeatedly delayed
The light was originally announced for the month of June and for July and we had not heard new dates until the announcement of the presence of the camera on the stand of the IFA in Berlin. For now at least , the bed jacket and enlightened does not seem to be a priority for Pocketbook which has so far managed to attract attention with its system of protective cover electronic ink , but also shows all its e-readers , its technology, its new services , and its all new tablets .


Amidst all these developments , the reading light seems to have disappeared . Yet PocketBook Lux Color is there, and is finally available in command on the French shop for 249.99 euros , as announced . It is available in black or white version.





Reading lamps 8 inches that can read more than books
If the reading light was criticized for some color and reactivity problems that would have been recognized , yet it offers quite a stir in the industry. The most expensive liseuse French market has indeed some advantages to make.

While the color is not comparable to an LCD screen, but the screen Triton 2 E -Ink which is in question, itself limited by the technical limitations of electronic ink . Comparison , although completely inappropriate , however, is quickly made ​​for the neophyte.



With the addition of a backlit display , the color rendering is still much better than it is in other color screens proposed as one of Ectaco ( Jetbook color 2 ), which is much more expensive . It is also currently the only eReader combines two technologies.

A unit 8 inches, color, € 249 is a revolution , even if it is difficult today to position itself with a more expensive device that many more powerful tablets .


The color is interesting , however : Many books are now unsuitable for monochrome screens of e-readers such as illustrated children's books , books on photography , travel , cooking, and books " practices " in general ... they can of course be played on reading lamp , it loses much comfort.



For these readings, but also for magazines, including PDF color images but also comics, light installations Pocketbook is a new solution that does not rich colors of a tablet, but offers comfort autonomy and a reading light . For PDF files , PocketBook has also recently Bookeen as an automatic reset pages to provide better readability. The new reading light so takes an interesting turn for broadening the horizons of reading.


In the end , this is a world first which currently has made ​​mention among the advertisements IFA. PocketBook certainly scheduled to release on his reading light quickly , as was the case for many other devices and services these days.
