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

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

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.

First thing I do when people think of buying the Verse Lite is recommending the standard Verse. Being able to change colour temperature for reading in the dark is a huge plus, buttons for page flipping (or at least assign stuff to if you don't use them) and the battery is 50% larger. SD card slot is

Das können praktisch alle aktuellen PocketBooks in allen Größen, unabhängig vom verbauten Panel - mit einer einzigen Außnahme: PocketBook hat dieses Jahr das Verse Lite herausgebracht, das ein abgespecktes Verse ist (um 1/3 kleinerer Akku, kein SD-kartenslot, kein Nachtlichtmodus, keine Knöpfe - übr

Od miesiąca jestem posiadaczem Pocketbook Verse Lite (nie Pro, ale ten sam ekosystem) i jestem bardzo zadowolony, pomimo lekkich problemów z szybkością. Książki przesyłam z laptopa przez skrzynkę mailową (funkcja Send-to-PocketBook), zajmuje mi to mniej niż minutę. Z Empik Go/Legimi nie korzystałem,

I got you. Can’t speak on Kindle but I can speak on Kobo and Pocketbook. I have had a Kobo for a month now and Pocketbook for months (don’t ask how many I have tried/owned 🙈) Anyway: Ease of use: Kobo has the edge on this one. I factory reset it to resolve something and it was easy to set it back up

On one hand it looks, just from the technical data (so not the design) like a beefed up Verse Lite, same screen, but it can in contrast to the Verse Lite change colour temperature, it has a way bigger battery (1750mAh vs. 1000mAh) & storage (16GB vs. 8 GB). But that it only supports epub is a very s

I don't know how "blue" the light on the Basic Lux is, but I guess not that blue since you can't change colour temperature (just a guess). The standard Verse can adjust colour temperature, and since you can keep an ereader for years, whatever you pay more will in the long run be not even that much.

You're lucky since I usually avoid recommendation-posts, except the asked questions looks somewhat interesting. But I stumbled over your post comment in r/pocketBook, so I can add something regarding the Era. Obvioulsy the Verse (Pro) is more compact than the Era, but the Era is not even that big as
