Please help! Screen on my Touch has died?!

Dear all

I have had my Pocketbook 622 Touch for almost two years now and have been very happy with it. However, it seems that my display just died yesterday! I didn't use it for three days and when I turned it on yesterday, the led light illuminated for a short while as always on start-up (I turned it off in the settings, so it flashes up just at start-up), but the screen remained blank. I've tried to press the home button, etc. but no reaction of the screen whatsoever.

I thought that maybe for some strange reason the battery is low (although I knew it was pretty full last time I used it a couple of days ago), so I charged it, but still the same is happening. I then tried to reset the device, but again, no response from the screen - it is completely blank! For completeness - there is no physical damage to the device or its display. I have always had it protected in a case, etc. Also, I haven't updated the firmware recently, so it cannot be an issue of a wrongly updated firmware.

If it helps, I can access the device if I plug it to the PC...

I've tried to contact the support by the phone, but no luck... I would be therefore very grateful if somebody can help here. I will be traveling outside Europe this weekend and will stay there for a few months, so a swift response would be very much appreciated!

Many thanks!

Neuen Fonts instaliieren

Hallo an alle,

ich habe eine Frage zum Installieren neuer Fonts auf dem PB Touch Lux. Ich habe versucht, verschiedene Fonts (sowohl ttf, als auch otf) zu installieren, indem ich sie in den systems Ordner unter fonts kopiert habe. Allerdings erscheinen diese Fonts nicht, wenn ich beim Lesen einen Font auswählen möchte, die Auswahlliste mit den Fonts bleibt unverändert. Wahrscheinlich ist die Lösung ganz einfach, aber ich komme einfach nicht drauf. Vielleicht weiß jemand, wo der Haken ist?

Würde mich sehr über einen Hinweis freuen.

LG Marischke

PB360+ Formatting issue

I'm having an issue where the formatting that shows up in Calibre/Epubs, does not translate to the PB. For example somtimes there are several spaces between paragraphs, denoting a new story thread, without necessarily going to a new chapter, and it seems that those spaces are completely removed in PB. Any help?

Hi there,

I have a broken E-Ink screen on my Pocketbook an am looking for a replacement. Unfortunately I cannot find 9.7" replacement screens for Pocketbooks.. I´ve searched the web, but nobody sells them..

Is there any way I could get a Kindle DX screen to work with my pocketbook 912?
I just don´t want to throw away a device, that could possibly work again..

Hope for some help...

PB626 plant back

Hello,

I bought 3 pb626 (touch lux 2) for me and my family.
I immediately made the update of firmware, otherwise they are too slow.

The problem is that on this page, there is a button to test the serial number (http://www.pocketbook-int.com/fr/sup...ok-touch-lux-2) and it asks me to return the 3 machines in the factory.

It seems there is a problem with the batteries. And of course, to my inquiries, I get a terse email giving me an address but no explanation.

Have you heard of this problem, and most importantly, is it necessary to return the machines?
I am not really convinced of the safety of the operation: I have nothing to prove that my machines will be distributed there.

Have a good day :thanks:

touch lux not showing uploaded books

I use calibre to manage my ebooks and load them into my touch lux. Suddenly I cannot find new books on my device. I upload books to the device. Calibre says the books are on the SD card/device. When I look in windows explorer the books are there on the SD card but I cannot find the books when I try to search the device. The reader is not showing any new books added and I cannot find them when I do any kind of search. Any help would be appreciated. P.S. I moved the SD card from the pocketbook touch lux to my Sony PRS T-1 and have no problem.

What sort of person is a pocket book best suited for

My premise is that there is no one best ereader for all people, which is the best for you depends on what you want and what you need. What sort of person is a Pocket Book best for?

I would say from the look of the pocket book web site that pocket books are for people that like a lot of choices in their reader models. There are quite a lot of different models and there are some eink and some LCD. I also do not see a book store run by pocketbooks, a pocket book would be good for someone that wants to be able to shop around for their books.

Unable to go to next page

Hi everybody,
i have a reccurent problem on my PBTL (1st version - 4.4 firmware),
the reader often gets stuck on a particular page,
and doesn't wants to go to the next one. It refreshes the current page, the led blinks but i'm still on the same page, no matter how many times i hit the button or touch the screen.

I don't think it is due to a particular format or text formatting option as i have all sorts of ebooks from various sources.

The only solution is to go 10 pages further (long press on the button), but i then get lost if the text is reformatted and zoomed in for example. It's really annoying.

Any of you experienced the same problem ?

Thanks a lot if anybody can help...

Hi all,

I have a KindleNT since one year and a half, and I am very happy with it. I want a second eReader but not from Amazon, because I am a Linux user and do not like to be chained to a provider.
This is the reason I look to the PocketBook reader, which is looks very open.

Nevertheless I have two question before order a PB Lux2.

I read from several tests that the screen is a little bit grey, is it really or not ? more than a Kindle4NT ?

And there is also a feature in the Kobo device which is look very interesting for me, is the reading statistics. Is there a way to do the same with a pocketbook ?

Many thanks for your replies...

I have just created a page in our wiki for the PocketBook Ultra. Looks like a state of the art 6" device with an E Ink Carta screen and a built-in camera you can use for pictures or to create a book using the built-in OCR software. An interesting variation on an eBook Reader.

pdf reflow mode on Pocketbook 614W Basic 2

Hi to everyone.

I have Pocketbook 614W Basic 2 with latest firmware W614.4.4.611. When I use pdf in reflow mode the Pocketbook doesn't turn pages.

I am new here so I hope I do not repost something. I have found that for other devices it helps to use some older firmware, I am not sure which one would be the best for me and even if it is possible at all.

I also emailed with the pocketbook support and they have answered that there is bug in the pdf reader. That Adobe repaired the bug, but that they do not know when they are going to release new firmware.

I also read that there might be alternative viewer inside using the option open with but it gives me no alternative.

I would appreciate any ideas what can I do. Thanks a lot.

As Sony did not care to include Bluetooth in their 13inch "Digital Paper" I'd like to see combination of Bluetooth with the touch screen.

It would be killer device for musicians.

Anybody else has ideas?

My Pocketbook Ultra has arrived

I'm still working on my review of the Kobo Aura H2O, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I've also taken my next review unit out of the box.

I made the mistake of buying the Pocketbook Ultra, and after 20 minutes I can sum it up quickly: it is a $240 disappointment.

This device has a gray screen and splotchy frontlight. I am shocked that Pocketbook would release something that is so overpriced and underperforming.

I'll probably post a rant Sunday night, but I just wanted to give you a taste now.

Question about PB 626 usb connection

When I attach the USB cable to the PC and select PC Connection all that happens is I get a Pocketbook626 under 'devices and printers'. It lists the function of 'Nook Android Interface' under its properties. Which rings no bell at all here. I can disconnect the 'Pocketbook626', but what I do not get is a drive with the files on my PB626. Which I expected and desparately want.

Can anyone help me out (google doesn't).

Thanks.
