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

Suche einen Ebook Reader fĂŒr meine Frau

Das können praktisch alle aktuellen PocketBooks in allen GrĂ¶ĂŸen, unabhĂ€ngig 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 - ĂŒbr

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

budget ereader advice: pocketbook basic lux 4?

I don't know how "blue" the light on the Basic Lux is, but I guess not that blue since you can't change colour temperature (just a guess). The standard Verse can adjust colour temperature, and since you can keep an ereader for years, whatever you pay more will in the long run be not even that much.

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

EReader prices

Like I said, "start around" and also depends where you live. PocketBook recently released a budget version of the PocketBook Verse called PocketBook Verse Lite. It strips buttons & SD card slot, has smaller battery than the standard Verse and also doesn't have warm light. It usually is around 100€ w

eReader with warmlight

Any current device but the Kindle Basic, PocketBook Verse Lite & PocketBook Basic Lux 4 (which all don't have the possibility to change colour temperature). Kobo & PocketBooks are relatively open systems (support DRM-free & Adobe DRM protected books), Kindles slightly restricted (Kindle books can on

Pocket Book Verse Vs Verse Pro vs Verse Lite.

If top priority is screen quality, sharpness, clarity, and longevity, then in the “Verse family,” the PocketBook Verse Pro is the safer choice compared to the PocketBook Verse Lite or the basic PocketBook Verse. The Lite and base versions feel like compromises, especially regarding display technolog

Pocket Book Verse Vs Verse Pro vs Verse Lite.

Don't buy the Lite, except you want to save as much money as possible. You can't change colour temperature, don't have buttons (it's the only PocketBook device without buttons) and get a significantly smaller battery (size of the battery is not only a day-to-day thing, it also decides how long your
