Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the InkPad Color 3 for bringing color e‑reading into the mainstream with its vivid Kaleido 3 screen, eye‑friendly SMARTlight and robust waterproof build, while noting its lower price and dedicated e‑reader focus as strong points. However, they criticize the lack of external storage, limited feature set compared to Android‑based rivals, and a weight that is higher than some competing 7‑inch devices.
What Users Say

Common Complaints
Device weight of 270 g, lack of external micro‑SD slot, limited multitasking capabilities, and a slimmer software ecosystem compared with Android‑based e‑readers.
