Sustainability at PocketBook - People
Adapting the reading experience to individual needs
People have different reading preferences and habits.. Depending on the model, PocketBook e-readers therefore offer a range of settings and functions that allow the display and operation of the device to be adapted to individual needs.
Available functions depend on the device, file format and installed software.
Choose the right display size
PocketBook e-readers are available in a range of sizes.
A compact device is easy to carry when travelling , while a larger display provides more space for non-fiction books, documents, comics and content with many illustrations.
Our comparison tool can help you compare models and features.
Adjust the font and text size
PocketBook e-readers allow you to adjust the font, its size, line spacing, and page margins.
This makes it possible to adapt the display to personal reading preferences and needs. On supported devices and with compatible file formats, the OpenDyslexic font is also available.
Available settings may vary depending on the e-book format and device model.
Read in portrait or landscape mode
On models with a position sensor, the page can match the device orientation.
Landscape mode is essential on smaller displays or when reading documents with longer lines of text.
On devices with customisable buttons, the controls can also be adapted to personal preferences.
Use Text-to-Speech
Selected PocketBook models support Text-to-Speech. This function reads text aloud using a computer-generated voice.
It can be useful if the user needs to switch between reading and listening, continuing from the same reading position. Depending on the model, the language, voice and reading speed can be adjusted.
Text-to-Speech is available on selected PocketBook models and for selected e-book formats. Details can be found in the technical specifications of the individual model.
Adjust the frontlight
Many PocketBook models feature a frontlight.
Devices with SMARTlight also allow the colour temperature of the light to be adjusted.Brightness and light colour can therefore be adapted automatically according to the time of day or manually to match personal preferences.
Use Bluetooth accessories
Compatible accessories can be used with selected e-readers that support Bluetooth.
Depending on the model, a compatible remote control can be used to turn pages without having to hold the e-reader.
Compatibility information can be found in the description of the relevant device and accessory.
Advice in bookshops
PocketBook e-readers are available not only from the brand’s official online store but also from numerous partner bookshops.
There, you can view different models and receive personal advice. “My PocketBook” can help you find participating bookshops near you.
Help with questions and technical problems
Our customer support team can help with questions about setting up and using a PocketBook e-reader.
Many issues can be resolved with the help of user manuals, by changing settings or installing software updates. If a technical fault occurs, the device can be inspected by our service centre.
Engagement and cooperation
Supporting bands and orchestras
In cooperation with Marschpat, PocketBook supports bands and orchestras that use PocketBook e-readers as digital marching music books. The Marschpat app optimises the display of sheet music on PocketBook e-readers for use while marching and during performances.
Supporting children in Ukraine
In recent years, PocketBook has chosen not to send Christmas gifts to friends and business partners. Instead, we have donated the funds allocated for these gifts to UNICEF to support children in Ukraine.
