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

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

Basic function e-reader recs please!

I think a new PocketBook (Verse Lite / Verse) might be your best choice unless you specifically don’t want to get another PocketBook. Kobo Clara (or an older Kobo if you can find one second-hand) is the other realistic option. There aren’t really many other mainstream brands with at least semi-reaso

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

e readers recomendations?

Sometimes just happens! You see one thing, brain thinks something else… But yeah, the OP’s budget range makes this tricky. Some looking around tells me the cheapest euro prices are in the 150 euro range for the Clara BW but that is going to be VERY dependent on the country (specifically if it’s one

How many e-readers do you have?

Technically, I have 2. Started with the Boox Go 6, fell for the PocketBook Verse Lite. I plan to offload the Go 6 sometime to only have 1. I really don't need more things to charge in my life.

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

For those of you who have more than one eink ereader, why?

Today, I finally understand why people have more than one, or at least I have a new understanding for myself. The first one that felt true to me to use and own was the Boox Go 6. I purchased a PocketBook Verse Lite because I wanted to try it out and also they are working on Libby integration for all

Looking for e-reader recommendations

I assume that by “lobby service” you mean Libby? :D And going by the currency, I assume you’re in the UK, right? In that case, Kindles are NOT going to work with Libby, so you can disregard those. Unless you want to find a used/second-hand ereader, Kobo Clara (there’s a black-and-white version of th
