An unlikely comparison: Viwoods AiPaper Reader + PB Verse Lite

That Viwoods is way too bright at 1% brightness. I don’t have either device but I like the form factor of the PocketBook Verse Lite more. Thanks for sharing.

best budget ereader

Okay so when you post "best budget ereader" a bunch of people are going to show up and recommend the xteink x4 and x3. Nothing against the xteinks but they are tiny, like 4 inch screens, they're designed to fit on the back of a phone. I think they're a great sometimes reader, especially as a phone s

Let's talk about Kobo and Kindle

I like this question. My bests have been PocketBook Verse Lite and Boox Go 6. I am curious about the Kobo Clara as well. The Verse Lite is my best because of all of the formats it takes (including NetGalley ARCs), battery life, dark mode and it supports multiple library cards. The Boox Go 6 is a run

Suche mini ebook Reader

Ich empfehle dir einfach ein 6" PocketBook (ein paar cm breiter als ein Smartphone). Gescheite ereader-Software, nativer Onleihe und Libby-Support (wobei ich aktuell nicht weiß ob der Verse Lite & der Standard-Verse schon das neueste Update mit Libby-Integrierung haben, der Pro hat es definitiv). Un

A case for PocketBook Verse Lite - My impressions

TL;DR : The Verse Lite is worth considering for just wanting to read. Support of many formats including Adobe Digital Editions, and the ability to set gesture support for many functions. No Bluetooth, no Kindle book support (unless you remove DRM), and auto brightness can be literally headache induc

pocketbook verse (pro) vs clara bw vs other recs?

Verse Lite is just a worse Verse, just forget about it (smaller battery, no buttons, no SD card slot, no warm colour temperature, also not waterproof - as the standard Verse isn't). Portablility: all devices in discussion are 6" devices, there's no difference in portability (Kobo Clara BW is slightl

How many e readers do you have?

  1. Pocketbook Verse Lite and Boox Go 6 Gen 2. The plan has always been two for me, as the best setup in my opinion is 1 traditional one and 1 Android one. Verse Lite: I like the software a lot actually, has best battery of the two Libby integration still hasn't come and side loading fails sometimes I c

Open source reader?

PocketBooks might work, if they’re available and you don’t mind slow menu navigation (I’ve heard that as the main complaint about them; haven’t used one myself)? Available in a variety of sizes, account not needed, supports multiple file formats (I think it supports Adobe DRM epubs and, I believe, R

Suggestions for small inexpensive e-readers

The 6" PocketBook Verse is the cheapest PocketBook device (ignore the Verse Lite, except you have to save every penny on a device), and it has a RSS news app. But since I do not even know what RSS is and how it works 😅 the only thing I can tell you is that I can - after opening it - enter a link to

Which E-Reader for my Preferences?

Just get another Verse, It fits your needs, and is less expensive than others are suggesting. You may even consider the Verse Lite! Here's a comparison: https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/?product1=PocketBook+Verse&product2=PocketBook+Verse+Lite#sbs
