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

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

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

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

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 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

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

Maybe because more people have Kobos? And they are a passionate user base? I can for sure tell you that I talk about PocketBooks here very often since buying my first one in January. And the second one in February. Since I also bought a Kobo recently, I can for sure tell you you won't make a mistake

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
