Pocketbook Inkpad X Pro - A First Look

In this video I put the Pocketbook Inkpad X Pro in context to the market, unbox the device, give first impressions of the hardware, and then go through the set-up sequence. Future videos will tour the UI, test the battery, and eventually provide a comprehensive review. Enjoy!

A promising start! This is indeed not a widely reviewed device…

Thank you for considering my request. Looking forward to the detailed review ❤

Honestly, once the review was done, I shelved it and haven't looked at it since. Booting it up again now, I see there's a minor update, but nothing of note. I see it's running about $300 on Amazon now in the US, $120 less than when I bought it in January, which I think speaks volumes. Is it worth $300? With the Boox Go 10.3 now released at $380, I think the X remains overpriced, but not by a lot. $275 feels like a good price to me, and it does have the advantage over the Go in having a front light. So at $275, and with reading as the primary use and notetaking second, then that would be a good deal. Think of it like an entry-level, 10" reader and notetaker. With Pocketbook shifting focus on the newer EO, I suspect there won't be much in the way of future updates for the X Pro.

Thanks God. You are the chosen one to finally review this device properly. I already have the pocketbook color 3 and QUADERNO A4 Gen 2. because the QUADERNO is quite a big device I would love to have a (data secure / GPDR conform) not taking device. 😊

I have been interested in the pockebook devices so thanks for covering this. As you mentioned there are not very many videos looking at them.

Thank you for your review! I'm a big fan of Pocketbook platform in whole, so it was an unexpected device for me. If possible, can you please use a fixed focus for the camera? When you move hands closer to the camera, it's focusing on them, making the device blurry.

[@jeffreymoss]

Yes! I actually changed cameras since I filmed this and the focus on my new camera is much better. This won't be an issue in my future videos.

I like the way explanation of the categories at the beginning. It will be interesting to see if you still think it is a read first device after your more detailed review.

thanks for this review. Off topic question, may i know what is the note app you use in kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6ClpGV7jd6babs

[@jeffreymoss]

That's the mobile version of Microsoft OneNote. I'm planning to do a video on that in a month or so, comparing OneNote to the Boox notetaking app to get a sense of how they compare.
