Mea culpa of a skeptic

I tried KOReader once without much success. Found it too complex to adapt when installing it on my old Kobo Auro One, even if I really wanted the dark mode (KA1 didn't have it natively). Then I bought a PocketBook InkPad 4, which I love, except for the "meh" stats and in reader mode info (only indic

Spoilt for choice: PocketBook Verse Pro (BW) vs PocketBook Era (BW)

I never touched a Kindle and won't likely ever, so I can't tell you anything objectively comparison-wise. I have an InkPad 4 (same screen as the Era, so Carta 1200 and a flush glass front) and had a PocketBook Verse (Carta 1000; while the standard Verse only has 212ppi, the Pro also has 300ppi like

Undecided about buying a Verse Pro

You can only answer this for yourself. Verse Pro indeed has an older screen tech, so the contrast is lower compared to the Kobo Clara BW. But you (likely) don't have a Kobo Clara BW, so against what will you compare it without also having a Kobo Clara BW? You can only decide for yourself how importa

People with experience with both Kobo Clara BW and Pocketbook Verse Pro, which do you prefer?

I guess PocketBooks are overall slower than Kobos (at least my Kobo Clara BW compared to my InkPad 4), but honestly I 100% prefer the PocketBook OS (more possibilities to customise your device, homescreen looks nicer and other more or less minor stuff). My InkPad 4 boots twice as fast as my Kobo Cla

Stuck deciding between the Kobo Clara BW and the PocketBook Verse Pro

I had the same doubt when I was searching for a 6". Unlike some comments here, after trying I found the PB hardware much better (lovely built, great shape, weight, buttons). After having two Kobo Clara BW crashing on me... and because I already owned a PocketBook InkPad 4 (7.8") that I love to piece

Any new pocketbooks coming soon?

I still use an InkPad 3 and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything tbh. I’ve had the newer kindle paperwhite, meebook m7, some book even the InkPad 4. The difference is very small in clarity. I mainly read manga and regular epubs. The InkPad 3 still got a firmware update early in the year so

Suche einen Ebook Reader für meine Frau

Das können praktisch alle aktuellen PocketBooks in allen Größen, unabhängig vom verbauten Panel - mit einer einzigen Außnahme: PocketBook hat dieses Jahr das Verse Lite herausgebracht, das ein abgespecktes Verse ist (um 1/3 kleinerer Akku, kein SD-kartenslot, kein Nachtlichtmodus, keine Knöpfe - übr

Kobo Clara BW vs Pocketbook Verse Pro

I did the same. After buying a PocketBook InkPad 4 I enjoy it so much, I bought a Verse Pro Color. Using them with KOReader made it even more enjoyable (after the learning curve). PS. I did my own sleep screens.

A case for PocketBook Verse Lite - My impressions

The standard-Verses are fine for what they are - and fit perfectly in anything, even my back pocket 😂 (what makes them really kind of... cute xD). If you ignore the additional features - which someone may or may not need - , all you get on the Verse Pro is a bumb in resolution (which may or may not

First purchase

If you're set on a 7 inch B&W reader, you might like the PocketBook Era. They also have the 6 inch Verse Pro and 8 inch InkPad 4, and color versions of all 3 sizes as well. But if you're using it to read books and not comics, color e-ink is objectively a worse experience. I like PocketBook's softwar
