eReader Empfehlung

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

I wish 6 inch ereaders were more popular!

I really love my 6" Pocketbook Verse Pro (running koreader). I have my Calibre library set up with it and accessing all of my books is as simple as connecting it to wifi and hitting 'download.'

Let's talk about Kobo and Kindle

I like this question. My bests have been PocketBook Verse Lite and Boox Go 6. I am curious about the Kobo Clara as well. The Verse Lite is my best because of all of the formats it takes (including NetGalley ARCs), battery life, dark mode and it supports multiple library cards. The Boox Go 6 is a run

Just getting into e-readers, not sure what to get

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

Why do some people own multiple ereaders?

Pretty much anybody who has multiple is a hobbiest to some extent, but the reasons for owning multiple vary pretty wildly. I have 3 devices (Kobo Clara 2E, Pocketbook Verse Pro, Paperwhite 10th generation). The Clara 2E was my original device and was gifted to me. Unfortunately, it has an extremely

My first ereader

So glad to see more people trying Pocketbook eReaders. I have been preaching their greatness for years now. Can't understand why they aren't more popular with the ease of how to put any books on it at all. No ads. I think they're great. I have had about all of them but now I am down to the Era and t

Suche einen Ebook Reader für meine Frau

Gute Akkulaufzeit haben alle, ebenso haben alle aktuellen USB-C. PocketBooks haben eine dezidierte Onleihe-App, während das bei Tolino über den integrierten ziemlich mäßigen Browser geht (oder über den Umweg PC, der bei beiden Geräten gehen sollte). Zumindest bei der Verse-Reihe wäre ich vorsichtig,

A case for PocketBook Verse Lite - My impressions

TL;DR : The Verse Lite is worth considering for just wanting to read. Support of many formats including Adobe Digital Editions, and the ability to set gesture support for many functions. No Bluetooth, no Kindle book support (unless you remove DRM), and auto brightness can be literally headache induc

pocketbook verse (pro) vs clara bw vs other recs?

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

Which simple no BS black & white e-reader should I get?

Pocketbook Verse Pro. Linux-based it just sits there and does it's thing. I use it exactly as you state: no store, load own books. Calibre has my library on my laptop. No issues with file formats. No "Chinese spyware"(I had a Bigme and I have a Boox and they're irritating as f**k if they go anywhere
