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

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

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

Czytnik eBook - macanko

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,

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

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

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

My first e-reader ! Vivlio one

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

Used ereader

Where should I look? Which country are you in? I’d guess in some countries, eBay is still also an option. (In other countries, not so much - even when finding a seller that will ship abroad, shipping costs & import fees can make buying a used device pointless. So it’s location-dependent.) If you’re
