Welcome to QuokkaPad

QuokkaPad is the ideal multi-function eBook and document reading device for mobile workers, students and recreational readers and is the first eBook reading device specifically designed for people with vision or print disabilities. For consumers and businesses alike, the operational flexibility of this open source platform delivers a tailorable reading library solution that encompasses much of the functionality missing from today’s range of eBook and pad-like devices.

Ruggedly built and sporting a rubberized grip for comfort and security, QuokkaPad contains both USB 2 and SDHC ports enabling unlimited external storage capacity along with access to other devices such as 3G/4G dongles. QuokkaPad includes fingertip control for fast page turns and font size changes and a fast-action replaceable battery delivering an unprecedented battery life in excess of 20 hours. Access to well over a million books is enabled via QuokkaPads inbuilt Wi-Fi and browser and QuokkaPad even includes a native PDF viewer and MSWord compatible application.

Being completely tailorable, and with its large 8-inch colour screen, QuokkaPad is a great solution for people with vision difficulties or other print disabilities. Background and font colours and even styles can be tailored to suit individual needs and completing the package is an inbuilt high quality MP3 player for listening to audio books or to music while you read.

QuokkaPad incorporates FBReader eBook reading software described by addictivetips.com as
“brilliant……dead-simple……remarkably outstanding”

“It’s not quite as svelte as the current crop of pads and tablets but it’s easy to hold with a thick book-like spine along the left where the battery lives.”
RED FERRET.net, June 2010

“A chunky form factor, with a conveniently grippable bulge on the left, makes the QuokkaPad comfortable to hold. The screen is clear and easy to read. Unlike the iPad, where your finger activates an animated page turn, the QuokkaPad uses frontmounted buttons to quickly turn the pages with no extra effort – a real bonus for a couch potato”
Independent Weekly, June 25th 2010

“QuokkaPad is not a simple eReader along the same lines as its predecessors……we have been looking for some time now for an eReader that enables us to adjust its functionalities to add those of Dixio and make the most of the advantages of this application in tablets. QuokkaPad is the first opportunity of this kind.”
