-> Product Page: https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/...pad-color-3-ch

Apart from the new screen the device appears to be absolutely identical to its predecessor, the Inkpad Color 2, which was released only a couple of month ago, in June 2023.

A representative for the company commented on the situation in another forum. According to him, the Inkpad Color 2 sold much better then expected, but unfortunately they could not continue its production, because E-Ink was not able to deliver more of the Kalaido Plus displays.

Instead they had to opt for the new Kalaido 3 color displays as an alternative. So in order to avoid confusion they renamed the device.

The Inkpad Color 3 can be ordered for €319 and is set to ship within 3 weeks.
