PocketBook 626 Touch Lux 3

azov_aidar · 06-01-2021, 10:33 AM

Hi there. I'm trying to buy used Touch Lux 3 and I can't understand something. Some of the books have on theirs back side sign Touch Lux 3 and some of them don't. Sellers gave me proof that this is the same book but I'm still hesitate. Can someone explain me what the difference? Why do some books have this sign and others don't? Some kind of different revision of the books or they just trying to fool me?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe the back of some devices is free because they were sold by certain stores that have their own branding.

I'm aware of at least 3 types of PB 626, which differ slightly.
1) With E-Ink Pearl Screen (TL2)
2) With E-Ink Carta Screen (TL3)
3) With E-Ink Carta & soldered internal memory instead of hidden MicroSD Card (TL3).

Only way to be really sure is to open the device and have a look at the screen ribbon cable and the memory. I owned white and black type 2 devices, gray and black type 1 devices and a red type 3 device. They don't differ much regarding the performance, Carta screen is said to have a little more contrast. In reality you can tell the difference only if 2 devices are compared directly.
