PocketBook Ink Pad 840

[pkbo]

Installation is no different from PB 622/626 etc. Just unzip into the internal memory the following archive. Tricky part is extensins.cfg. It should be edited if present or created. link to the ready extensions.cfg file. It should be placed into system/config or system/<profile name>/config folder depending on whether profiles are used or not.

well, not really. I can not change the fonts, although they are in the system/fonts, but I can change them in adobe, and, it seems to me, that are too few choices, if I compare ti what I can find on the version I had on aura HD, or on onyx 68

Ty for your answer.

Some Czech guy (if I'm not mistaken ) on YouTube made a review about inkpad. Luckily he could speak English. I asked him to compare text and front light quality to paperwhite 2. He said paperwhite was superior in both. However I have doubts about it.

Can anyone confirm if that is the case or otherwise?

I am no expert on the front lighting technology, but I can imagine that getting even lighting over larger areas might require a layer that is not as clearly transparent as for smaller areas. So, it may not be a fair comparison between 6" and 8" ereaders.

I meant that my unit hasn't arrived yet.

Do you mean that fonts not present in the font settings menu or you can select the font but it doesn't affect how a book is rendered? If later can you change the font in the CR you had on aura HD, or on onyx 68? On aura HD was it android or the one from sergeyvl?

What do you mean which choices are missing?

Which value do you miss? I will not help you with this, just curious.

I've got it, the f***er!!! In the upper right corner are really, really, little, tiny arrows which will take you to the next page of the option. What I was doing, was that I tried to flicker with the finger from left to right, from right to left, from up to down and viceversa. But, no! Those molecular arrows count. Thank you for the help, peeckaboo!
Now I have a perfectly usable reading. And, again, it has a beautiful screen, the light, which I don't use it that often is quite even, but of course, with a tint of blue and when on minimum, is less bright than on Onyx 68. People are asking about this device how does it look like comparing to kindle or something else? Who cares? Who would go back from reading on a 8" screen to that screen for hobbits?

I'm happy that you enjoy your inkpad. I would be happier if you compared it for those who cares but no worries inshaallah someone else will. Peace be upon you

I had a 6", a 6.8", but nothing compares with an 8". I am talking here about typograghy, about margins, about the length of a text line, you know, what makes a book look, if not perfect, good.

Ty, I really appreciate it. Can I ask you something? Can you install some of the modified fonts on the forum and tell us the I the result. I am really curious

Ty for your time
