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

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

What e-reader are you rocking, and what do you like about it?

I have a PocketBook Verse Lite. I like that it is a simple, light device, and I'm able to read library books on it easily. Additionally, having no ads and some light games on it is wonderful to me, as the battery life is nice.

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

PocketBook vs Kobo vs Kindle (real opinions only)

I got you. Can’t speak on Kindle but I can speak on Kobo and Pocketbook. I have had a Kobo for a month now and Pocketbook for months (don’t ask how many I have tried/owned 🙈) Anyway: Ease of use: Kobo has the edge on this one. I factory reset it to resolve something and it was easy to set it back up

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.

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

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

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

Never owned an ereader, looking for budget friendly recommendations.

I own a PocketBook ereader. I love it. I think the PocketBook Verse is a good entry-level ereader. It’s budget-friendly, and offers a great reading experience and ease of use. But the Verse Pro or Verse Lite might be good too.
