Yes, but it may not be as cheap as you want. I have a PocketBook Basic Lux 4, I didn't bother with the "store" setup and just load all my books on it via USB. It's very simple, has physical page turn buttons, good screen, and good battery life. Not sure where you are located but in the US, the Basic

“The best” is very, very subjective! :D PocketBook is a respectable mainstream European brand that makes very decent ereaders. One big plus point for them is that unlike other major brands these days, they have physical buttons on their ereaders in 6’’, 7’’ and 7.8’’ size. On the other hand, people

I have a PocketBook Basic Lux 4, which has physical buttons, and I really like it. Much faster than my Kindle Paperwhite, better organization options, no need for a store tie-in because books can easily be side-loaded via USB. The page turn buttons are on the bottom front of the Lux 4, which is a ve

PocketBook (konkretno Basic Lux 4). Brz je, pouzdan, odličan software koji se može skroz podesiti, prihvaća sve formate i ono što je meni najbitnije, ima fizičke tipke i aplikaciju za Android i iOS koja se sinkronizira s čitačem (znači npr. skine se knjiga preko mobitela i uploada u aplikaciju, isto

I don't know how "blue" the light on the Basic Lux is, but I guess not that blue since you can't change colour temperature (just a guess). The standard Verse can adjust colour temperature, and since you can keep an ereader for years, whatever you pay more will in the long run be not even that much.

I replaced my Kindle with a Pocketbook and it can do this. It's light, good quality screen, quick and responsive. There is a send-to-email service, or it can connect to Dropbox to download books. I prefer the USB connection to computer for transferring books, but it is not the only option. I have th

Der Basic Lux 4 wurde sogar von PocketBook selbst noch mindestens bis zum 16.05. dieses Jahr verkauft (hatte nämlich den PocketBook-Support mit Fragen durchlöchert, u.a. wegen dem Lux 4), womit dann sicher noch eine Zeit lang Updates kommen (neben der schon vorhandenen Onleihe-App kommt nämlich in n

The best one is the one that best fits your needs, there's no best ereader out there. And don't let anybody tell you otherwise. If you want a PocketBook, possibly look into the PocketBook Verse Pro, it has a better resolution than the Basic Lux 4 (which is basically just a PocketBook Verse without U
