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

мнение по поводу электронной книги

Я сам два года назад купил себе pocket book era 700, замечательная книжка. Тонкая, удобная, с хорошей регулируемой подсветкой и удобным встроенным ридером. До этого я долгое время сидел на бюджетной digma e601hd. Сам я могу спокойно читать как электронные варианты книг, так и бумажные. Также я не по

Boox Go 7 concern

android 13 will be fine for basic reading for years. apps like koreader or plain epub readers don't demand much. the bigger thing is battery life over time, but that's any e-reader. if the go 7 hits your checklist with sd card and buttons, it's a solid pick. pocketbook era is the main alternative wi

What features would you want in the next PocketBook device?

Quality build like Pocketbook Era with 8" flush glass screen with buttons on the SIDE, like Kobo Sage. Or another Era 7" style device, I'm good either way. If you go 8", I'm not against a flush Mobius screen to help with weight. Carta 1300 BW screen. Quicker processing (RAM/CPU). Retain built-in spe

Best ereader for KoReader

Pocketbook Era. It's built for side-loading and has much better page turn buttons and hand grip than Kobo. Installing KOReader is completely hassle-free.

(EU) best epub ereader with sideloading

I started using a Pocketbook Era purely to escape using Kindles. It has plenty of storage, has drag and drop side loading, and a fairly effortless install of KOReader, a highly customizable epub reader. My two biggest issues are that the frontlight and battery life don't really hold up to the Kindle

It's been an expensive 6 months since leaving Kindle

Growing up in school I hated reading. None of the required reading books ever did anything for me, so I rarely actually read them. But that all changed in 2011 when I got a Kindle Keyboard and found out I could read books that I actually liked. It's been wondering and I've been singing the praises o
