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

My first e-reader ! Vivlio one

On one hand it looks, just from the technical data (so not the design) like a beefed up Verse Lite, same screen, but it can in contrast to the Verse Lite change colour temperature, it has a way bigger battery (1750mAh vs. 1000mAh) & storage (16GB vs. 8 GB). But that it only supports epub is a very s

budget ereader advice: pocketbook basic lux 4?

I don't know how "blue" the light on the Basic Lux is, but I guess not that blue since you can't change colour temperature (just a guess). The standard Verse can adjust colour temperature, and since you can keep an ereader for years, whatever you pay more will in the long run be not even that much.

Any budget ereader recommendations? I am on a fixed income and love to read so I'm looking to get one.

Maybe the Basic Lux 4 from PocketBook, if you can find it. It's the predecessor of the PocketBook Verse, the only differences are afaik different buttons and a Micro USB port instead of USB-C. There's also the PocketBook Verse Lite (which I wouldn't recommend because of lower battery capacity, no po

Suche einen Ebook Reader für meine Frau

Das können praktisch alle aktuellen PocketBooks in allen Größen, unabhängig vom verbauten Panel - mit einer einzigen Außnahme: PocketBook hat dieses Jahr das Verse Lite herausgebracht, das ein abgespecktes Verse ist (um 1/3 kleinerer Akku, kein SD-kartenslot, kein Nachtlichtmodus, keine Knöpfe - übr

Moving from 623 to Inkpad Color or Verse color?

The question colour or not can only be answered by yourself, and you already did it. If you are willing to accept the disadvantages, try it out. Even if you find people who agree that it's worth switching to colour, you could be disappointed, and even when I tell you I would never buy a colour devic

EReader prices

Like I said, "start around" and also depends where you live. PocketBook recently released a budget version of the PocketBook Verse called PocketBook Verse Lite. It strips buttons & SD card slot, has smaller battery than the standard Verse and also doesn't have warm light. It usually is around 100€ w

First E-Reader, no clue what I actually need

Kindle books can only be read on a Kindle or an Android ereader. Books bought or got anywhere else can be read on any device, incl. Kindles (except ones with Adobe DRM, these can't be read on a Kindle). It's your choice where you get your books from, but be sure that removing Amazon DRM (to read you

Choosing my first pb

I think the InkPad Lite it is more or less OK; I already wrote about the ppi a 4K 27' monitor has, and therefore I suspect the screen is... OK-ish? But for me it is important that you are at least relatively sure about what you possibly are getting when buying it (it's still hard, up to impossible,

Readers with sunken screens?

Just some last infos: If you decide for a device from PocketBook, stay away from the Verse Lite; while it has the same panel like the Verse, they stripped/reduced other hardware features. And the Verse & Verse Lite only have 212ppi (which was for me at least not really of a problem, and not for you
