    Why does my Pocketbook eBook Reader battery discharge too fast?
    • K
      Kenneth SandersJul 28, 2025
      A possible reason for rapid battery discharge is that the automatic turning off function is disabled. To resolve this, navigate to Settings > Date/Time in the Main Menu and select an automatic turn off time in the Auto Turn Off in… item.

      This issue may occur if the file system is damaged or if the internal memory is full. 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. Also, delete any unnecessary books, images, or music files to free up space in the internal memory.

      If an HTML book opens but displays incorrectly with empty pages or missing text, the HTML file might contain non-text elements like frames, JAVA-scripts, or flash elements. Try saving the page in TXT format.

      Mathew ThompsonAug 14, 2025
      This issue may occur if your device is in battery charging mode. To fix this, check the USB mode in Settings > Main Menu and set it to Connection to PC or Ask at Connection. Alternatively, the USB cable may have a poor connection or be damaged. Check the USB cable's condition and its connection to the connector, or try connecting the USB cable to another port.

    What to do if my Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 eBook Reader book does not open and shows 'Book is probably damaged or protected'?

      lwatsonAug 19, 2025
      If you see a message indicating the book is damaged or protected, or if nothing happens when you try to open it, the book file may be corrupted. If the book was downloaded from an online store, try reloading it. If the file opens on your PC but not on the device, save the book in another format such as TXT, DOC, or PDF.

    Why does my Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 display various symbols instead of letters?

      Lori WilkinsAug 23, 2025
      If you see incorrect symbols in place of letters, the encoding may be wrong. To correct this, switch to reading mode, select Settings, and change the encoding.
