What to buy if I wanted powerful but compact?

PocketBooks are fairly notorious for being slower in most things (other than page-turning, meaning it’s perfectly fine for many people) compared to other dedicated devices, and Verse Lite (which isn’t Android, to be clear, so no Moon Reader possible anyway!) is their cheapest / most “budget” device.

Kobo Clara BW vs Pocketbook Verse Pro?

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'

Pocketbooks ability to read large PDFs

help me, I can't decide which one to get !(verse pro or era )

The Era is 228g, I guess your average paper book is heavier. What's additionally adding weight is the glass front. I myself don't have a issue with the weight, that's all I can tell you. Take two 100g bars of chocolate and look if this feels heavy to you. I already decided the question regarding And

Thought on Pocketbook Verse

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.
