The only issue is the format in itself, so PDF. I recently tested a 8mb PDF from archive.org for a user here, and it crippled my Verse Pro - on the other hand did I test a high quality 500mb PDF I created myself, and it ran almost as well as an epub. Are you sure that you can change font in reflow-m

No, PocketBook and Kobo just do have different priorities. I would say Kobo offers a more stable and basic OS, while PocketBook offers more features, but also add some... quirks and irks? 😂 Also does Kobo may have better programmers, while PocketBooks is more friendly in adding new features. And the

Any ereader (e-tablet/enote) will have flaws, no matter how much money you spend. It's different compared to e.g. to TVs, where you only get the best if you spend a certain amount of money. In the end it's about what you want to do with your device, not how much money it costs (screen size, colour y

The question colour or not can only be answered by yourself, and you already did it. If you are willing to accept the disadvantages, try it out. Even if you find people who agree that it's worth switching to colour, you could be disappointed, and even when I tell you I would never buy a colour devic

That's interesting, I use the Pocketbook Verse Pro Color and noticed something similar. Koreader reads through regular epubs, OPDS books, and manga and webtoons on Rakuyomi extremely fast, absolutely no problem opening those files or navigating them at all. But PDFs are a very different experience.

A 6" smartphone can't be compared to a 6" ereader since eink is by design slow. I guess a typical eink screen on a non-Android device runs at around 5-10 fps, and eink devices additionally need refreshes to eliminate ghosting (Android devices have faster eink-modes, but which reduce quality, so it's

The Pocketbook Verse Pro does not have native Libby support yet (Libby is currently only available on select Pocketbook Models), though you can sideload Libby EPUBs via Adobe's Digital Editions system. It should be coming to the Verse Pro via a software update soon, likely this year based on what I'

I just sent my Verse Pro Colour back as it was unbearable slow coming from a kobo libra colour. I love Pocketbook sync options and cloud storage of side loaded books, and really wanted to like it but just couldn't. I much prefer the Kobo screen too.
