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

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

Open source reader?

PocketBooks might work, if they’re available and you don’t mind slow menu navigation (I’ve heard that as the main complaint about them; haven’t used one myself)? Available in a variety of sizes, account not needed, supports multiple file formats (I think it supports Adobe DRM epubs and, I believe, R

i want to get boox go 7 colour, but is it really unsafe privacy wise? is the pocketbook era colour better?

I honestly never used a Boox ereader before, so I can't comment on its privacy features. I own two pocketbook readers, a verse lite and Inkpad 4. I mostly have them offline aside from when I'm adding books. As for your webtoons, I think they will work, but you may need to convert the files to work o

Question for Possible Pocketbook owner

You 100% will be able to read your epubs without problems. Depending on your experience with ereaders, you possibly won't even notice what people even mean with sluggish (on the other hand are the Verses even faster than the Kobo Claras regarding boot-time, CBZ & PDFs). Also are in my experience the

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

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

Suche einen Ebook Reader für meine Frau

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

BOOX Go 6 vs PocketBook Verse vs Kobo Clara BW

Unfortunately, the quality control of the Pocketbook models can be a mixed bag. You can have a device with no issues or have one with issues. It’s wild. I’m glad to have purchased from Amazon as I could just get another one. I totally understand that! I was in your shoes but didn’t even know of Pock

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
