A case for PocketBook Verse Lite - My impressions

TL;DR : The Verse Lite is worth considering for just wanting to read. Support of many formats including Adobe Digital Editions, and the ability to set gesture support for many functions. No Bluetooth, no Kindle book support (unless you remove DRM), and auto brightness can be literally headache induc

A case for PocketBook Verse Lite - My impressions

First thing I do when people think of buying the Verse Lite is recommending the standard Verse. Being able to change colour temperature for reading in the dark is a huge plus, buttons for page flipping (or at least assign stuff to if you don't use them) and the battery is 50% larger. SD card slot is

i want to get boox go 7 colour, but is it really unsafe privacy wise? is the pocketbook era colour better?

I honestly never used a Boox ereader before, so I can't comment on its privacy features. I own two pocketbook readers, a verse lite and Inkpad 4. I mostly have them offline aside from when I'm adding books. As for your webtoons, I think they will work, but you may need to convert the files to work o

Open source reader?

PocketBooks might work, if they’re available and you don’t mind slow menu navigation (I’ve heard that as the main complaint about them; haven’t used one myself)? Available in a variety of sizes, account not needed, supports multiple file formats (I think it supports Adobe DRM epubs and, I believe, R

Question for Possible Pocketbook owner

You 100% will be able to read your epubs without problems. Depending on your experience with ereaders, you possibly won't even notice what people even mean with sluggish (on the other hand are the Verses even faster than the Kobo Claras regarding boot-time, CBZ & PDFs). Also are in my experience the

BOOX Go 6 vs PocketBook Verse vs Kobo Clara BW

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

Pocketbook Verse vs Clara BW

I'm your girl, as I have/had both (I tried out the Verse, but I'm a Verse Lite gal due to weight). I'll lay out the differences that are important to know: Kobo's dark mode is only in the reader, Pocketbook's is for the whole UI The Kobo has Bluetooth, and battery life is better (by a bit) Kobo only

Does this ereader exist?

Most ereaders will fit your criteria, except for the buttons thing. Generally, ereaders have touchscreen and you touch or swipe to turn pages. I have a Pocketbook Verse Color and it's nice. They have a black and white version. It's six inches which is good for reading but still small enough to carry

A case for PocketBook Verse Lite - My impressions

The standard-Verses are fine for what they are - and fit perfectly in anything, even my back pocket 😂 (what makes them really kind of... cute xD). If you ignore the additional features - which someone may or may not need - , all you get on the Verse Pro is a bumb in resolution (which may or may not

Looking for e-reader recommendations

I assume that by “lobby service” you mean Libby? :D And going by the currency, I assume you’re in the UK, right? In that case, Kindles are NOT going to work with Libby, so you can disregard those. Unless you want to find a used/second-hand ereader, Kobo Clara (there’s a black-and-white version of th
