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

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

I have a PocketBook Verse Lite. I like that it is a simple, light device, and I'm able to read library books on it easily. Additionally, having no ads and some light games on it is wonderful to me, as the battery life is nice.

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

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

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

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

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

The standard-Verses are fine for what they are - and fit perfectly in anything, even my back pocket 😂 (what makes them really kind of... cute xD). If you ignore the additional features - which someone may or may not need - , all you get on the Verse Pro is a bumb in resolution (which may or may not
