What we like about Pocketbook Inkpad X Pro

  • Large 10.3-inch E Ink Mobius screen provides a comfortable reading surface similar to a hardcover book.
  • Access to Google Play Store allows users to install various reading apps like Kindle, Kobo, or Libby.
  • Very lightweight design (354g) making it easier to hold one-handed than many competitors.
  • Extensive file support for over 18 formats including EPUB, PDF, and AZW3 without conversion.
  • SMARTlight feature allows for easy adjustment of both brightness and colour temperature.
  • Included Wacom stylus and protective sleep cover offer good out-of-the-box value.

What we don't like about Pocketbook Inkpad X Pro

  • Significant system lag and sluggish performance reported due to an outdated Android 8.1 OS.
  • High stylus latency and 'ghost writing' (registering input before touching the screen) hinder the note-taking experience.
  • Lower pixel density (227 PPI) compared to the 300 PPI found on newer 10-inch devices like the Kindle Scribe.
  • Battery life is reportedly much shorter than advertised, often requiring recharge after a few days rather than weeks.
  • Unusual physical button placement at the bottom can be awkward for some users during navigation.
  • Sunken screen design and plastic build can feel less premium and more prone to glare than flush-glass alternatives.

Verdict

The PocketBook InkPad X Pro is a versatile 10.3-inch e-reader and digital note-taker featuring a glare-free E Ink Mobius display with 1404 x 1872 resolution (227 PPI) and a flexible, durable plastic substrate. Powered by Android 8.1, it includes a Quad Core 1.8 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal storage, offering a specialized Wacom stylus for precise handwriting and an adaptive SMARTlight for adjusting both brightness and colour temperature. Its main pros include its remarkably lightweight design (350g), full Google Play Store access for third-party apps, and support for over 18 book and graphic formats along with Bluetooth audio for audiobooks. However, notable cons include its use of an older Android version (8.1), lack of a microSD card slot for expandable storage, and the absence of built-in speakers, requiring external Bluetooth or USB-C audio devices.
