Let's talk about Kobo and Kindle

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

Just getting into e-readers, not sure what to get

Another thing is all the extra features a lot of current ones seem to have. I'm a simple man, I don't need color, I don't need wi-fi, I don't need or necessarily want all these extras, I just want something to read books on you know? Ohhhhh a man after my own heart! This was a big factor in me selec

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

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.'

Simple question: is Kobo better than PB? Why?

Better is subjective. Really the main benefit of kobo over pb is overdrive integration. If you read library books it makes it much easier. But pb has built in DRM support so you don't have to authorize books on your computer to use them so you could just manually download library books from the brow

Suche mini ebook Reader

Ich empfehle dir einfach ein 6" PocketBook (ein paar cm breiter als ein Smartphone). Gescheite ereader-Software, nativer Onleihe und Libby-Support (wobei ich aktuell nicht weiß ob der Verse Lite & der Standard-Verse schon das neueste Update mit Libby-Integrierung haben, der Pro hat es definitiv). Un

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

Simple & No BS=Pocketbook These are the most basic, and the Verse Pro is more advanced, which you can also compare to the Kobo with this tool. Be advised, Kobo wants you to register even b4 you access the home screen, and they do have a store, and they prefer you to convert your books to Kepub. PB h

Is there anything out there like the Kobo clara bw but with buttons?

Your request matches up perfectly with Pocketbook Verse or Verse Pro. Both are 6", and have Home/Page up/down/Power buttons. You can remap the buttons, too. PB says we give you the device, and you do what you want with it! Very open. Never have to jailbreak a Pbook. Comparison link

Recommendations for a 12 yr old

Another possibility is Pocketbook. By far the most sideload friendly, can read the most formats, and some models, like my Verse Pro Color (6”) and Inkpad 4 (7.8”) have great Libby (public library) integration. Also, check out Book Buster Deals to buy bundles of ebooks for cheap, often around $1/book

Help Me Pick a New Ereader!

If your PW is 11 years old, I don't think it can have a 7" screen? The first few gen's of PW had 6". The first PW to have a larger screen was the 2021, and that was 6.8". It is only the newest PW (2024 model) that has a 7" screen. So for the rest of this comment, I'm guessing you actually do have a
