Pocketbook is going to be releasing a new e-reader in the coming months called the Verse Color, this device will be using the latest generation colour e-paper, Kaleido 3. Pocketbook seems to be going all in on colour, releasing many new products in the past few months, such as the InkPad Color 3, Era Color and Eo Color.  How do I know Pocketbook will be releasing the Verse Color? Well, Pocketbook recently attained FCC certification for it. Specs and hardware are unknown, Pocketbook said the hardware is not based on the existing hardware of the Verse or Verse Pro.

One of the standout features of the Verse Color is the physical buttons. You can hit the page-turn buttons to turn an ebook forward or backward. There is also a home button to jump to the home screen, no matter what menu or sub-menu you are on. Pricing and the release date are unknown. Still, Kaleido 3 screens are typically slightly more expensive than traditional black and white e-readers, so it will likely be between $25 to $60 more costly.
