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

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

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

Suggestions for small inexpensive e-readers

The 6" PocketBook Verse is the cheapest PocketBook device (ignore the Verse Lite, except you have to save every penny on a device), and it has a RSS news app. But since I do not even know what RSS is and how it works 😅 the only thing I can tell you is that I can - after opening it - enter a link to

Which E-Reader for my Preferences?

Just get another Verse, It fits your needs, and is less expensive than others are suggesting. You may even consider the Verse Lite! Here's a comparison: https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/?product1=PocketBook+Verse&product2=PocketBook+Verse+Lite#sbs

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

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
