InkPad 4

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

My first e-reader is a Kobo Clara HD (6 inch, 300 ppi) that I got second hand for 20 bucks last year. It's served me well but the battery is pretty much toast; it completely dies once it reaches around 85% and then takes over a day to recharge and goes through a factory reset, so I basically have to

First I had a very small Sony (c 4”) that I mostly used to read fanfic. It used PRC files. Was a great little system to read everywhere. But prc files became rare and epub/mobi took the lead and the Sony was not so useful. Then I briefly had a Kindle 2 still with keyboard, but I gave it away because

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

The Sage appears to be completely discontinued; it's been out of stock for months everywhere. Have a look at the PocketBook InkPad 4. It's an 8 inch black and white 300 ppi reader with physical page buttons like the Sage. Effortless sideloading just like Kobo, it even has an email-to-device function

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

To be honest I wasn't instantly aware of the back problem, because I had the reader in the PocketBook case from the beginning 😏. But good to know that they change it and I already had a look at the InkPad 4 and the Era. I can send you a detailed photo of the screen, we just have to find a common boo

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.

I can only tell you the difference between the InkPad 4 and the Kobo Clara BW, and directly compared it's definitely noticeable. Not that Carta 1200 on PocketBooks look bad, but the Kobo Clara BW definitely looked better (just regarding contrast) When comparing devices you also have to compare devic

Generally spoken, for novels & manga you should get a b/w device, since the current colour technology has disadvantages, especially regarding b/w content. 8" b/w InkPad 4, KOReader is very easy to install. Additionally there's the b/w 7" PocketBook Era, but I would recommend to buy at least an 8" de
