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

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,

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

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

Look into the Pocketbook. I haven't used their 7" Era, but the 6" Verse Pro is really nice. I just ordered a like-new one from Amazon for $130 US. The Era has side buttons which you said you didn't want, but the Verse Pro doesn't. I like how sturdy and premium it feels. The screen is really crisp, t

I can’t share a picture so I’ll share my review about one of my ereaders at the end of my comment. It has pictures in it. I enjoy the Pocketbook Verse Lite. The gesture customization, support for library books (Libby integration coming at some point), true dark mode are all things I enjoy. Also, I c

Kobo Clara BW (or a PocketBook Verse / Verse Pro, if available where you live) sounds like a good choice, as long as you’re sure you don’t intend to buy ebooks from Amazon or use Kindle Unlimited. If you have considered borrowing ebooks from a local library, then that may also matter - but depends h

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

Once I started to use Calibre the first thing I did was to check (and edit if needed) the metadata of all books. That includes opening the metadata info window of a book and finding its ISBN code on Goodreads, then letting Calibre to get all relevant info from Goodreads - correct book name, author's

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
