Verse Pro

Pocketbook devices have amazing Libby/Overdrive integration. You can even browse and check out books from your device, if you want. I have both the Verse Pro Color (6”) and the Inkpad 4 (7.8”).

I just got a Pocketbook Verse Pro! It’s a 6in non android ereader (not sure how big you want your screen to be, but 6in is pretty portable). It’s got buttons along the bottom of the device. It’s also water proof. I will say I’m not a huge fan of the OS, so I installed Koreader on it (basically app f

Boox Go7 B&W is a really super device. Maybe nobody wants to compete? 😁 All Pocketbook (except Verse Lite) have buttons. Verse, Verse Pro, Inkpad 4, Era. On paper the Kobo Libra Colour, The Boox Go7 Colour, and the colour PocketBooks do black & white as well as a dedicated B&W reader (300ppi) so it'

Several of the Pocketbook devices have the Libby app built in, you can browse the library right on the device as well as read what you’ve already checked out.

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

I have two pocketbook ereaders, on either side of 7”. The 6” Verse Pro Color and the 7.8” Inkpad 4. I love them! I only sideload books, and everything I read syncs beautifully between them. Pocketbook handles more file types than Kobo. So while I don’t have that specific model, I’m very happy with b

I was lucky, I got all my books out of Amazon before the total lockdown. My favorite ereaders are by Pocketbook. I have both the Verse Pro Color (6”, for reading on the go), and the Inkpad 4 (7.8”, perfect size for reading at home). Sideloading is simple, and both devices sync reading position with

PocketBook Verse Pro / 7" Era / 7" Era Lite & Kobo Clara BW are your options (outside of Kindle & Android e-tablets). The Clara BW doesn't feel cheep - but this may be very subjective. It's definitely a more simple, bulkier design (which may beneficial regarding another topic). I don't have battery
