Pocketbook devices have amazing Libby/Overdrive integration. You can even browse and check out books from your device, if you want. I have both the Verse Pro Color (6”) and the Inkpad 4 (7.8”).

For me, this has been the biggest benefit. My Pocketbook verse is small enough to fit in my handbag, and when I'm out and sitting around, or at the gym, I'll pull it out and read a few pages instead of looking at my phone. Even at home, I've replaced many hours of doom scrolling with reading. I used

I just got a Pocketbook Verse Pro! It’s a 6in non android ereader (not sure how big you want your screen to be, but 6in is pretty portable). It’s got buttons along the bottom of the device. It’s also water proof. I will say I’m not a huge fan of the OS, so I installed Koreader on it (basically app f

Welcome to the Pocketbook family! Hope you enjoy your Pocketbook Verse, the Verse line is my favorite size of Pocketbook's current lineup. As I'm sure you've figured out already, there isn't too much you really need to do out of the box other than drag and drop your epubs and start reading. If you'd

Ich nutze das PocketBook Verse seit 2 Wochen nachdem ich ein Tolino hatte und damit immer unglücklicher wurde. Das PocketBook ist toll, hat die onleihe als App und macht was es soll. Hat natürlich nicht die Kindle Funktion

Several of the Pocketbook devices have the Libby app built in, you can browse the library right on the device as well as read what you’ve already checked out. I have both the Verse Pro (6”) and the Inkpad 4 (7.8”), both have this. They also sync sideloaded books beautifully through the free Pocketbo

You can do my old workaround before Pocketbooks had official libby support. I made the built in browser's homepage libbyapp.com/shelf and signed into my account there. So when I checked out books via the libby app on my phone I could add it directly from the browser. I still have it saved as my home

Kobo and Google Play Books both enable you to export the files out of their websites, but you'll need Adobe Digital Editions to "free" the files. There was a site that someone recommended where you can purchase files for multiple books in a bundle but I can't recall the name. As for simple with no s

Okay so when you post "best budget ereader" a bunch of people are going to show up and recommend the xteink x4 and x3. Nothing against the xteinks but they are tiny, like 4 inch screens, they're designed to fit on the back of a phone. I think they're a great sometimes reader, especially as a phone s

Another thing is all the extra features a lot of current ones seem to have. I'm a simple man, I don't need color, I don't need wi-fi, I don't need or necessarily want all these extras, I just want something to read books on you know? Ohhhhh a man after my own heart! This was a big factor in me selec
