It has been a long time since various eReaders are updating with Carta technology, an E-Ink technology that not only offers better resolution but also offers greater energy savings. Thus, Kobo or Onyx Boox devices already have models with this technology, but there are still many that do not use Carta.
Pocketbook is one of those companies that is gradually updating their devices to this technology. A) Yes, the next Carta eReader will be Pocketbook Touch HD. A model with a high resolution but with a 6-inch screen size.
Pocketbook Touch HD has the same resolution as Kobo Glo HD
Pocketbook Touch HD is an eReader that has a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 1.448 × 1.072 pixels and 300 ppi, like the Kindle Paperwhite 3. The processor of this device is Freescale iMX 6 at 1 Ghz, accompanied by 512 MB of ram and 8 Gb of internal storage. The battery of the Pocketbook Touch HD is 1.500 mAh, an acceptable capacity but it will not give the autonomy of months as other devices.
Pocketbook Touch HD has an operating system called Pocketbook OS, a fork of Android It allows not only to install Android apps but also to connect with ebookstores outside of Amazon. But maybe the difference with other devices is that Pocketbook Touch HD has audio output and microsd card slot so in addition to having a high resolution for ebooks, you can also listen to audiobooks, something that is becoming more and more important for many readers.
However, the Pocketbook Touch HD is not accompanied by the price. In this case the eReader will cost 149 euros, a high price if we consider that the same resolution offers Kobo Glo HD or Paperwhite and they have a lower cost. However, they are not as free or offer audio as Pocketbook Touch HD.
It is not in stores yet but it will be a matter of time before Pocketbook launches this eReader along with other models such as the InkPad 2. But What do you think?
