      The battery might be discharging quickly because automatic turning off is disabled. To resolve this, go to Settings > Date/Time in the Main Menu and select an automatic turn off time in the Auto Turn Off in… item.

    Why can't Pocketbook Basic Touch save bookmarks, settings, and current position?

      Dustin CobbAug 31, 2025
      This issue may occur if the file system is damaged or if the internal memory is full. To fix a damaged file system, connect your Pocketbook to a PC and check the disks by opening 'My Computer', right-clicking on the selected disk, and selecting 'Properties > Service > Check Disk'. If the internal memory is full, delete unnecessary books, images, or music files.

    What to do if my Pocketbook Basic Touch eBook Reader book doesn't open and shows 'Book is probably damaged or protected'?

      Anthony PruittSep 2, 2025
      If you see a 'Book is probably damaged or protected' message, the book file might be corrupted. If you downloaded the book from an online store, try downloading it again. If the file opens on your PC but not on your Pocketbook eBook Reader, try saving the book in another format like TXT, DOC, or PDF.

      Tammy LewisSep 5, 2025
      If an HTML book is displayed incorrectly on your Pocketbook eBook Reader, with issues like empty pages or missing text, it could be due to non-text elements in the HTML file, such as frames, JAVA-scripts, or flash elements. Save the page in TXT format to resolve this.

      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader doesn't save bookmarks, settings, or your current reading position, it could be due to a damaged file system or full internal memory. * Connect the device to a PC and check the disks by opening 'My Computer', right-clicking on the selected disk, and selecting 'Properties > Service > Check Disk'. * Delete unnecessary books, images, or music files to free up space.

      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader doesn't display disks in Explorer after connecting to a PC: * Check that your device is not only in battery charging mode.

Try using a different USB port on your computer.
