It seems to me that the support and required libraries are supported since kernel version 3.
1, but I'm not 100% sure.
In any case, it's a shame that Pocketbook didn't choose the same CPU that they put in the COLOR 2-3 (Quad-Core 4 x 1,8 GHz) and for the Inkpad 4 model, which has the same CPU that we can find in the readers of the previous generation "Touch HD 3" or "Touch Lux 5" what are the readers of books from a completely different price category..
(for almost $300, I expected at least a Quad-Core B300 and faster LPDDR4 RAM, rather than an older Dual-Core B288 on DDR3.)

Fortunately, the whole situation is saved by KOREADER, in which the overall used device is significantly more reactive, which again indicates that the problem with optimization is probably still on the PB side.
In addition, KORADER allows advanced font settings, contrast, sharpness, DPI, in short everything that PB lacks. I'm not a demanding user, but in my opinion, PB could have developed the options for setting books a little better, because just setting the font size and 3 different margin settings seems like a good limit for the year 2023.
