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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The standard-Verses are fine for what they are - and fit perfectly in anything, even my back pocket 😂 (what makes them really kind of... cute xD). If you ignore the additional features - which someone may or may not need - , all you get on the Verse Pro is a bumb in resolution (which may or may not
