@Cyfranek: ah, another source mentioning some news regarding a medium-sized pocketbook-device, thanks for sharing the link! In the article, the author claims this this autumn (2017) some new Pocketbook-Devices will be released. Doesn't need to be the proclaimed InkPad3 but could be at least.

I'm pretty sure that if Pocketbook releases another 7.8" device, it will most likely replace the existing one (Inkpad2). As it seems to me, the current Inkpad2 is slowly becoming less available and as I mentioned hasn't been available for some weeks now in Pocketbooks own european Web-Shop.
I'm not so sure about your claim that it doesn't make sense for Pocketbook to release an successor to the Inkpad2 after just a little over one year. If you ask me, the Inkpad2 is merely a refresh of the original Inkpad with some improvements and I could imagine the Inkpad3 being somewhat of another refresh to update to the latest e-ink technology as this has been a matter of minor criticism in some reviews about the Inkpad2.
So in order to have a better stand against the other players in the e-reader market and to not loose ground it might IMHO indeed make sense to keep refreshing their products, especially as amazon is about to release some new devices this fall...
