An unlikely comparison: Viwoods AiPaper Reader + PB Verse Lite

That Viwoods is way too bright at 1% brightness. I don’t have either device but I like the form factor of the PocketBook Verse Lite more. Thanks for sharing.

best budget ereader

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

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

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

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

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

How many e readers do you have?

  1. Pocketbook Verse Lite and Boox Go 6 Gen 2. The plan has always been two for me, as the best setup in my opinion is 1 traditional one and 1 Android one. Verse Lite: I like the software a lot actually, has best battery of the two Libby integration still hasn't come and side loading fails sometimes I c
