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. No "Chinese spyware"(I had a Bigme and I have a Boox and they're irritating as f**k if they go anywhere

If you want simple, black-and-white, with front light and with buttons, then in the Western world outside the US, really your only options to buy new and have a semi-respectable brand are the various PocketBooks (Verse & Verse Pro are 6’’, Inkpad 4 is 8’’ and all those have buttons on the bottom alt

When it comes to ereaders, “good” is somewhat subjective, depending on one’s personal needs / wishes. If you don’t have any existing purchased ebooks already, and if you have no particular needs beyond “reading text-based books”, I’d probably recommend a Kobo Clara BW or PocketBook Verse / Verse Pro

I'm thrilled with my pocketbook Verse for novel and fanfic purposes. If you're a less heavy reader than I am you may even go for the Verse Lite, which is a little cheaper (i wanted the expandable storage and the buttons so i went with Verse) I've seen Kobo Clara BW recommended here a LOT and it's si

Your options, in brief, are: Android readers - they can use the Kindle app so your Kindle books will be easy to get to.

If you just read text-based books (stories, novels, text-based non-fiction), then 212 PPI should be quite ok

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.

You say you want easy, good b/w screen with front & backlight, and ability to sync across devices. 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

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

l'm relatively new to e-readers, but I’ve always been a borderline bookworm. I read a lot tons of filming watching and TV series visited the libraries often when I was younger, to manage the budget for entertainment of course and had a decent physical book collection. I started downsizing it in my 3
