    Verdict

    The PocketBook InkPad Eo is a versatile 10.3-inch e-note and e-reader featuring a Kaleido 3 colour E Ink screen with a resolution of 300 PPI for black-and-white and 150 PPI for colour. Powered by an 8-core 2.3 GHz processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage, it runs on Android 11, providing full access to the Google Play Store for third-party apps. Main characteristics include a built-in 8MP rear camera for document scanning and photo-sketching, integrated stereo speakers with four microphones, and a 4000 mAh battery. Key pros include the eye-friendly SMARTlight with adjustable colour temperature, global handwriting support that allows for stylus input across various apps, and broad file compatibility for 17 formats out of the box. However, notable cons include an outdated operating system (Android 11), a somewhat heavy 470g build that can be tiring for long reading sessions, and reported software lag in menus and third-party applications.
