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

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

Suche mini ebook Reader
Ich empfehle dir einfach ein 6" PocketBook (ein paar cm breiter als ein Smartphone). Gescheite ereader-Software, nativer Onleihe und Libby-Support (wobei ich aktuell nicht weiß ob der Verse Lite & der Standard-Verse schon das neueste Update mit Libby-Integrierung haben, der Pro hat es definitiv). Un

What e-reader are you rocking, and what do you like about it?
I have a PocketBook Verse Lite. I like that it is a simple, light device, and I'm able to read library books on it easily. Additionally, having no ads and some light games on it is wonderful to me, as the battery life is nice.

Cheap e-reader alternatives to Kindle?
PocketBook Verse Lite is possibly the cheapest “mainstream” option new - I see the PocketBook Spain store has it for 119 euro. There’s also inkBook (Polish I think) … Android eInk devices with not particularly good hardware specs but I would think that for just using one reader app at a time, should

Decision fatigue
I can’t share a picture so I’ll share my review about one of my ereaders at the end of my comment. It has pictures in it. I enjoy the Pocketbook Verse Lite. The gesture customization, support for library books (Libby integration coming at some point), true dark mode are all things I enjoy. Also, I c

Kindle Basic KO
If you like it in general (as a reader), then before you spend money on something else .. have you tried other methods of getting books on the Kindle? Amazon deleting sideloaded books (I think it’s specifically AZW3 format books that have the “EBOK” flag) is a known bug (probably a feature really si

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

Open source reader?
PocketBooks might work, if they’re available and you don’t mind slow menu navigation (I’ve heard that as the main complaint about them; haven’t used one myself)? Available in a variety of sizes, account not needed, supports multiple file formats (I think it supports Adobe DRM epubs and, I believe, R

Basic function e-reader recs please!
I think a new PocketBook (Verse Lite / Verse) might be your best choice unless you specifically don’t want to get another PocketBook. Kobo Clara (or an older Kobo if you can find one second-hand) is the other realistic option. There aren’t really many other mainstream brands with at least semi-reaso
