first e-reader for anti-amazon Libby reader?
Pocketbook devices have amazing Libby/Overdrive integration. You can even browse and check out books from your device, if you want. I have both the Verse Pro Color (6”) and the Inkpad 4 (7.8”).

Why are B/W button devices dying out?
Boox Go7 B&W is a really super device. Maybe nobody wants to compete? 😁 All Pocketbook (except Verse Lite) have buttons. Verse, Verse Pro, Inkpad 4, Era. On paper the Kobo Libra Colour, The Boox Go7 Colour, and the colour PocketBooks do black & white as well as a dedicated B&W reader (300ppi) so it'

is there any other platform that accomplishes what kindle does?
Several of the Pocketbook devices have the Libby app built in, you can browse the library right on the device as well as read what you’ve already checked out. I have both the Verse Pro (6”) and the Inkpad 4 (7.8”), both have this. They also sync sideloaded books beautifully through the free Pocketbo

Why do some people own multiple ereaders?
Pretty much anybody who has multiple is a hobbiest to some extent, but the reasons for owning multiple vary pretty wildly. I have 3 devices (Kobo Clara 2E, Pocketbook Verse Pro, Paperwhite 10th generation). The Clara 2E was my original device and was gifted to me. Unfortunately, it has an extremely

Should I just stick with Kindle or move to Kobo?
I was lucky, I got all my books out of Amazon before the total lockdown. My favorite ereaders are by Pocketbook. I have both the Verse Pro Color (6”, for reading on the go), and the Inkpad 4 (7.8”, perfect size for reading at home). Sideloading is simple, and both devices sync reading position with

My first ereader
So glad to see more people trying Pocketbook eReaders. I have been preaching their greatness for years now. Can't understand why they aren't more popular with the ease of how to put any books on it at all. No ads. I think they're great. I have had about all of them but now I am down to the Era and t

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

I wish 6 inch ereaders were more popular!
I really love my 6" Pocketbook Verse Pro (running koreader). I have my Calibre library set up with it and accessing all of my books is as simple as connecting it to wifi and hitting 'download.'

Which simple no BS black & white e-reader should I get?
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

Verse Pro battery life expectations
Turn it off. Standby battery draw seems to be relatively high on PocketBooks. Also is boot-time from off-state relatively fast, I guess it's about 6-7 seconds on a Verse, and you can additionally set the last page opened in your currently read book as boot logo. So you will be able to jump very fast
