A Surprising Mix of Good and Bad: PocketBook Color Note REVIEW

This is the PocketBook Color Note—a Color E-Ink tablet that, at first glance, felt like a step backward. So much so that I didn’t even plan on reviewing it. Turns out, I was wrong. And not just a little—I was surprised in ways that left me both impressed and frustrated.

Coming from an established European company in the E-Ink space, this turned out to be one of the more intriguing E-Ink tablets I’ve tested—yet recommending it is a bit complicated.

🖖WHO AM I

After more than 100 different e-reader tests for my German website, this channel is dedicated to sharing my experiences with the latest e-readers, other e-paper devices, and sometimes other tech in English as well.
