Not long ago we were talking about a new eReader by the manufacturer Pocketbook, well it has not yet finished arriving in stores when the company has announced another eReader, the Pocketbook Ultra, an eReader that follows the line of Aqua Pocketbook, creating functional eReaders, that is, with a specific function. So while the Pocketbook Aqua It has the function of resistance to water and dust, the Pocketbook Ultra you will have the ability to take photos and even scan books or documents.
Pocketbook is a manufacturer that has specialized in the Russian market and, although it may seem insignificant to us, it currently has a portfolio of more than 1 million customers. Which makes Pocketbook a major eReader manufacturer worldwide. Although we have to admit that their clients do not usually speak well of the finish of the eReaders as well as they do not speak well of their support, but everyone changes and Pockebook is no stranger to it. Currently Pocketbook has its sights set on the US market, a consolidated market that is difficult to enter, so the company will have to change the above aspects if it does not want to have serious problems.
What's different in Pocketbook Ultra
At the moment we know little about Pocketbook Ultra, however we know the essentials. Pocketbook Ultra will be an eReader with the technology E-Ink Letter; yes, the display technology that the Kindle Paperwhite 2. This fact has created and is creating rivers of ink since as far as we know, Amazon has a contract with E-Ink so that Amazon is entitled to the most important electronic ink display technologies. However, the screen is not only the eye-catcher of this eReader. Pocketbook Ultra It has a camera, possibly similar to that of smartphones that will allow us to take images and even allow us to scan documents and store them on the eReader. This is not a possibility or an opinion, but a reality since the company itself has announced that the eReader will have OCR software, that is, the software in charge of transferring images with text to text documents. Pocketbook Ultra will be available in May and according to some rumors, Pocketbook Ultra could be the flagship of the company, coming to replace the Pocketbook Touch Lux.
Opinion
Far Pocketbook Ultra It is one of the most interesting eReaders in recent months, not because of its technology, or because of its hardware, but because of the idea that the eReader can scan and convert a book or a paper document into a digital document. I know that it is not good to say it on the web, but the use of a camera as a copier has grown a lot and more with the latest resolutions of smartphones, if instead of using a smartphone we use an eReader such as Pocketbook Ultra, the utility of the device is amazing. Do not you think? Now we just hope that Pocketbook will put the eReader at an affordable and logical price, as it has done with the Pocketbook Aqua, which has put it at 109 euros, a reasonable price although it is not a bargain, I hope and believe that the Pocketbook Ultra it will touch that price as well.
