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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

This may depend on where you live, but the PocketBook Verse Lite should, besides the Kindle Basic, be your cheapest choice, at least new and from one of the big brands. But I would recommend spending a bit more and getting the standard Verse (just called "PocketBook Verse"). If you looked into this
