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

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

A case for PocketBook Verse Lite - My impressions

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

PocketBook vs Kobo vs Kindle (real opinions only)

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

Any budget ereader recommendations? I am on a fixed income and love to read so I'm looking to get one.

Maybe the Basic Lux 4 from PocketBook, if you can find it. It's the predecessor of the PocketBook Verse, the only differences are afaik different buttons and a Micro USB port instead of USB-C. There's also the PocketBook Verse Lite (which I wouldn't recommend because of lower battery capacity, no po

Pocketbook Verse vs Clara BW

I'm your girl, as I have/had both (I tried out the Verse, but I'm a Verse Lite gal due to weight). I'll lay out the differences that are important to know: Kobo's dark mode is only in the reader, Pocketbook's is for the whole UI The Kobo has Bluetooth, and battery life is better (by a bit) Kobo only

Verse Lite & Libby / overdrive?

The Verse is part of the current generation of devices, and the Verse Lite is even the latest addition to the current line-up (to me more precise, the PocketBook One is the very latest device, but the Verse Lite is way more target at a broader audience). So it's by my side just logical thinking and

Does this ereader exist?

Most ereaders will fit your criteria, except for the buttons thing. Generally, ereaders have touchscreen and you touch or swipe to turn pages. I have a Pocketbook Verse Color and it's nice. They have a black and white version. It's six inches which is good for reading but still small enough to carry

Is a kindle worth it if I plan to avoid all amazon services completely?

Try to take a look at the PocketBook Verse Lite—it's at a similar price as the Kindle Basic last time I checked. It's very open and customizable, you can even hide the store widget on the home screen if you want to
