Inkpad 4 New Update : 6.8.3614

- Finally, more than a half year later, Pocketbook has released a new update for the Inkpad 4 device: 6.8.3614

** For those who want to install the update now, I leave the link available

DOWNLOAD LINK : https://download.pocketbook-int.com/....3614_user.zip

For the time being, we do not fully know which fixes and improvements this update will bring, it can already be downloaded from the Pocketbook server, but it will be displayed on the pocketbook pages within a few days.

It is possible that the device is a little faster, but this may be caused by a fresh installation, so far I have not noticed any significant changes.

Sure, I know. If you go to Inkpad 4, it also shows you an old version. Therefore I thought Michal Jancik looked directly into their file listing....

I'm in the USA and my link to https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch shows the last fw version as 6.8.2015. Is it OK to install 6.8.3614 at Inkpad4 purchased at Amazon from Pocketbook International?

It should works as well. E-readers are the same usually. Some of them made for Russian market were different, but not for the Western ones.

It doesn't matter. The firmware is the same for global and regional models.

I have an Inkpad 4 bought with Vivlio. I have tried to update from the Vivlio version with the new version of Inkpad, but it does not work.
Previously, I had an Inkpad 3 and I had no problem to do it.
Could you help me ?

Hi KornField

It depends on what you mean by "it doesn't work".
I also installed the PB version on the book reader from Vivlio, no problem.

I switched to the PB version for some services that Vivolo doesn't cover, besides I don't buy books from Culture. If you buy books from Cultura, you will lose access to magasin Cultura after updating to PB.
