I wish 6 inch ereaders were more popular!

I really love my 6" Pocketbook Verse Pro (running koreader). I have my Calibre library set up with it and accessing all of my books is as simple as connecting it to wifi and hitting 'download.'

Why do some people own multiple ereaders?

Pretty much anybody who has multiple is a hobbiest to some extent, but the reasons for owning multiple vary pretty wildly. I have 3 devices (Kobo Clara 2E, Pocketbook Verse Pro, Paperwhite 10th generation). The Clara 2E was my original device and was gifted to me. Unfortunately, it has an extremely

My first ereader

So glad to see more people trying Pocketbook eReaders. I have been preaching their greatness for years now. Can't understand why they aren't more popular with the ease of how to put any books on it at all. No ads. I think they're great. I have had about all of them but now I am down to the Era and t

Suche einen Ebook Reader für meine Frau

Gute Akkulaufzeit haben alle, ebenso haben alle aktuellen USB-C. PocketBooks haben eine dezidierte Onleihe-App, während das bei Tolino über den integrierten ziemlich mäßigen Browser geht (oder über den Umweg PC, der bei beiden Geräten gehen sollte). Zumindest bei der Verse-Reihe wäre ich vorsichtig,

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

Which simple no BS black & white e-reader should I get?

Pocketbook Verse Pro. Linux-based it just sits there and does it's thing. I use it exactly as you state: no store, load own books. Calibre has my library on my laptop. No issues with file formats. No "Chinese spyware"(I had a Bigme and I have a Boox and they're irritating as f**k if they go anywhere

Verse Pro battery life expectations

Turn it off. Standby battery draw seems to be relatively high on PocketBooks. Also is boot-time from off-state relatively fast, I guess it's about 6-7 seconds on a Verse, and you can additionally set the last page opened in your currently read book as boot logo. So you will be able to jump very fast

Looking for small and simple eReader with buttons

If you want simple, black-and-white, with front light and with buttons, then in the Western world outside the US, really your only options to buy new and have a semi-respectable brand are the various PocketBooks (Verse & Verse Pro are 6’’, Inkpad 4 is 8’’ and all those have buttons on the bottom alt

I'm in love with this thing 😍

First I had a very small Sony (c 4”) that I mostly used to read fanfic. It used PRC files. Was a great little system to read everywhere. But prc files became rare and epub/mobi took the lead and the Sony was not so useful. Then I briefly had a Kindle 2 still with keyboard, but I gave it away because

Deciding between getting a Kobo or a PocketBook, curious to hear about user experiences

Pocketbook IS NOT limited as to where you can get books. I currently have 2852 ebooks on my PocketBook Verse Pro Color, and didn’t buy a single one from their store. It reads more formats than any of the other dedicated ereaders.
