Inkpad 4 - not happy
I own a InkPad 4 and honestly I love it, but the main reason I bought it was because I knew I’d be using Koreader on it. Like you, I feel the same about the built-in reading software, it’s quite sluggish. So yeah, I’d definitely recommend Koreader. The really nice thing about using it on a Pocketboo

I need a 7-8" BW ereader with buttons. Suggestions?
I have the Era & the 8" Carta 1200 PocketBook InkPad 4. Both are decent devices, the screen on both is fine. The Era now is my most favourite device, but I still use my InkPad 4 for manga (bigger screen). I said fine because I could in the past compare my InkPad 4 to a Carta 1300 sunken screen Kobo

E-reader recommendations
Consider also PocketBook Era or InkPad 4. They allow uploading books using USB and File Explorer, or with internet options. They are a bit slow though.

How slow is a PB?
Thousands and thousands of people don't have problems with their PocketBooks. What you are reading are posts from singular people who complain that PocketBooks are not as snappy as their phones. But I also have to tell you that they are not the fastest devices out there, I e.g. have also a Kobo Clar

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

I absolutely love the integration of Koreader with Pocketbook.
I currently own the InkPad 4. Before that, I had the Libra H2O and the Libra 2, but I wanted an 8" reader again. I had previously owned the InkPad 3 and had very good memories of it, so I decided to buy the InkPad 4. It’s pretty great. While it’s probably not as snappy as a new Kindle's, it doesn’t

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

kobo OR pocketbook OR onyx boox ? :)
8" InkPad 4. For manga applies the bigger the better, I use it daily for reading manga. Even bigger devices would get less handy and you would have to look into Android ereaders (of which there are a couple out there). The colour tech unluckily has disadvantages for colour content, for manga (and bo

Help choosing an e-reader (8″ / ~7.8″)
The main problem regarding this comparison is that there are possibly not enough users out there who have both devices. I own a InkPad 4, but can't tell you anything about how different the screens are (in theory they are the same, so Carta 1200, but Kobo seems to be better in handling the panels -
