PocketBook e-readers have had native Libby support for digital libraries. Users with newer models and older devices could browse their public library, borrow audiobooks and e-books, and read or listen to them on the PocketBook. The company just released the 6.11.1437 update, which now lets users borrow digital magazines through Libby-supported libraries.
The changelog states that “Magazines are now supported in the Libby app. Users can discover magazines in the library and search, borrow individual issues, and track what they’ve already checked out – all from a dedicated magazine page showing covers, issue details, and availability at a glance.”
Supported models include the Pocketbook Era, Pocketbook Verse Pro, and Pocketbook InkPad 4, along with existing models such as the Pocketbook Verse Pro Color, Pocketbook InkPad One, and Era Color. All of these e-readers are receiving the new software update.
The company also added automatic Bluetooth audio connection. The device now connects to a previously paired audio device automatically when it becomes available, when playback starts, or when Bluetooth is turned on, without any manual steps. If the connection drops, playback pauses and resumes automatically once reconnected, with a limited number of retry attempts.
Added the Send-to-Email feature to the Notepad application, allowing users to send notes directly from the device to one or multiple recipients, either as an attachment or in the email body, with PDF and TXT export options. Added an AI Selection function to the Notepad application, allowing users to simply circle handwritten text to instantly trigger handwriting recognition. They also added a Magic Shapes function to the Notepad application, automatically transforming rough hand-drawn circles, rectangles, arrows, and other shapes into clean geometric figures.
Bug fixes also include adjusting music or audiobook volume with headphone volume controls. Fixed an issue where audio playback did not resume correctly after the device automatically reconnected to Bluetooth headphones or a speaker.
