- Is the color screen good for comics?
- It works, but colors are muted and the color layer has much lower resolution than the black-and-white text. Comics are readable, though not as vivid as on a tablet.
- Can I install the Kindle app?
- No. The Era Color runs PocketBook's own Linux software, not Android, so there is no app store. You can read DRM-free Kindle formats like AZW3 and MOBI by sideloading them.
- How is it different from the black-and-white PocketBook Era?
- The screen is the main change: the Color adds a color layer for covers, comics and highlights, at the cost of a dimmer, lower-resolution color image and slower refresh. Text stays at 300 ppi.
- Does it have a memory card slot?
- No. Storage is fixed at 32 GB, which is plenty for thousands of books and a good number of comics.
- Can it play audiobooks?
- Yes. It has a built-in speaker and Bluetooth, and it plays MP3 files, so you can listen without a phone.
- Is it waterproof?
- PocketBook does not rate the Era Color for water resistance, so keep it away from baths and pools.
