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'

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

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'm in love with this thing 😍

First I had a very small Sony (c 4”) that I mostly used to read fanfic. It used PRC files. Was a great little system to read everywhere. But prc files became rare and epub/mobi took the lead and the Sony was not so useful. Then I briefly had a Kindle 2 still with keyboard, but I gave it away because

I can't decide which ereader to buy

Look into the Pocketbook. I haven't used their 7" Era, but the 6" Verse Pro is really nice. I just ordered a like-new one from Amazon for $130 US. The Era has side buttons which you said you didn't want, but the Verse Pro doesn't. I like how sturdy and premium it feels. The screen is really crisp, t

Best e-reader?

When it comes to ereaders, “good” is somewhat subjective, depending on one’s personal needs / wishes. If you don’t have any existing purchased ebooks already, and if you have no particular needs beyond “reading text-based books”, I’d probably recommend a Kobo Clara BW or PocketBook Verse / Verse Pro

Entry Level E-reader

With these specifications, I’d say PocketBook Verse Pro or Kobo Clara. The PocketBook has buttons for page turning (which can be really comfortable); the Clara doesn’t but has a newer screen. If you just read text-based books (stories, novels, text-based non-fiction), then 212 PPI should be quite ok

Ereader Recs - Dumb it down for me

You say you want easy, good b/w screen with front & backlight, and ability to sync across devices. You say you don't want complicated work- arounds, and you want easy library access A 6" easy to handle e-reader that's light and has tons of features (if you want them), and very important, a well buil

Suche einen Ebook Reader für meine Frau

Gute Akkulaufzeit haben alle, ebenso haben alle aktuellen USB-C. PocketBooks haben eine dezidierte Onleihe-App, während das bei Tolino über den integrierten ziemlich mäßigen Browser geht (oder über den Umweg PC, der bei beiden Geräten gehen sollte). Zumindest bei der Verse-Reihe wäre ich vorsichtig,

Help Me Pick a New Ereader!

If your PW is 11 years old, I don't think it can have a 7" screen? The first few gen's of PW had 6". The first PW to have a larger screen was the 2021, and that was 6.8". It is only the newest PW (2024 model) that has a 7" screen. So for the rest of this comment, I'm guessing you actually do have a
