The company might be gearing up for an international launch, because they have just obtained certification in the Bluetooth SIG database.

Pocketbook Color delayed until the end of July

The Pocketbook Color is probably the most eagerly anticipated color e-reader of 2020. It was supposed to come out in the middle of July, but the company has delayed the release until the end of the month. The global pandemic has slowed down international shipping, so this is the big reason that it has been delayed. Good e-Reader will begin shipping out pre-orders at the end of the month.
