The clear case from my kindle basic more or less fits my verse color so I use that. I had bought some book cover stickers so taped those to the back of the pocketbook. I also have a really neat case that looks like a composition book. It has a stand and a strap, but it makes the verse color too heav

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.

It is what it is, you shouldn't pay so much attention to version numbers, it's likely that PocketBook just messed this up or different devices have different software iterations, and can't be compared to each other, I don't know. Until around two weeks ago, all of my three devices had slightly diffe

Any 6" PocketBook or Kobo, black & white, no colour device. If you want to read epubs with/without Adobe DRM: There are no budget options, at least if you want proper software and a device from a known brand. The only way to save money is to buy an used older device (released around the last 5-10 ye

Unfortunately, the quality control of the Pocketbook models can be a mixed bag. You can have a device with no issues or have one with issues. It’s wild. I’m glad to have purchased from Amazon as I could just get another one. I totally understand that! I was in your shoes but didn’t even know of Pock

I doubt it, since I guess a tool for flashing firmwares would be needed, and I've never heard of such a tool for PocketBooks. The only thing you could try is downloading a current firmware for the Verse Pro Color, put it unzipped onto the root folder of your device and look what, respectively if any

I have followed the install instructions for the latest release v0.1.5.5 and then v0.1.5.4 to test on my Pocketbook Verse Pro Color, I can see the plugin is checked and enabled in the plugin management section of the Koreader settings, however the "Read aloud here" option does not show when long pre

Oh and I turned off the syncing. I noticed it tends to drain the battery a little bit faster (it's only noticeable on small devices with small batteries only, like the Go6, or the Verse in the case of pocketbook devices). I don't mind that my books aren't synced between my different devices.

Very likely a device issue, never had such problems with any of my PocketBooks. Just to be 100% sure, you could also test this specific epub on your InkPad (but if it is a legally obtained epub, the issue is very likely the Verse).
