Verse Pro

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

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. 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.

You say you don't want complicated work- arounds, and you want easy library access A 6" easy to handle e-reader that's light and has tons of features (if you want them), and very important, a well buil

I switched from a kindle to a Pocketbook. Mostly, it had to do with customization and buttons. I wanted a six inch eReader with buttons. I loved that I could set it to tap on either side of the screen and go forward in my book. I liked that there were a variety of options for getting books onto the

I'm also Team Pocketbook. I just transitioned from Kindle to Pocketbook a month or two ago. It was a bit of an adjustment, but I'm liking my Pocketbook. In addition to sideloading from Clibre via USB, they also have a send to Pocketbook feature and Pocketbook cloud, which are similar to what Kindle

You can only answer this for yourself. Verse Pro indeed has an older screen tech, so the contrast is lower compared to the Kobo Clara BW. But you (likely) don't have a Kobo Clara BW, so against what will you compare it without also having a Kobo Clara BW? You can only decide for yourself how importa

As somebody that started with PocketBooks not that long ago, the only thing I can tell you is that I have the feeling that I have full control over my device & my books, compared to what I read about Kindle. And additionally less hassle than on a Kobo (no kepub > epub conversion and messing with Kob
