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

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

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

BOOX Go 6 vs PocketBook Verse vs Kobo Clara BW
Big fan of the pocketbook verse pro (I have the color). It can be a bit laggy sometimes, although I don't know if that's because of the colorscreen or not.The freedom of easily adding books to this device either through its native store or buying it somewhere else and uploading it to the cloud, is r

BOOX Go 6 vs PocketBook Verse vs Kobo Clara BW
If you want a pure ereader, spend just a bit more and get the Verse Pro BW. You can sometimes find them at a discount on Amazon in used like new condition from pocketbook store, unless you really need the SD card. I find Pocketbook Cloud pretty much eliminated the need for extra on device storage fo

Undecided about buying a Verse Pro
You can only answer this for yourself. Verse Pro indeed has an older screen tech, so the contrast is lower compared to the Kobo Clara BW. But you (likely) don't have a Kobo Clara BW, so against what will you compare it without also having a Kobo Clara BW? You can only decide for yourself how importa

Pocketbook Era oder Tolino Vision Color?
PocketBook Era. Aber ehrlich gesagt kann ich null sagen ob du damit zufrieden sein wirst (abgesehen davon dass ein s/w Gerät besser für Bücher ist). Ich hatte mal für eine Zeit den Kobo Clara BW (=Shine 5) und fand ihn alles andere als billig - hatte aber auch noch nie ein Kindle. PocketBook hat gen

Enjoying sunny day with my Pocketbook 🌞❤️🌺
PocketBook is very different from Kobo. This question can't be answered with a simple yes/no reply and heavily depends in what you except from an device. The simplest answer is if you want better contrast & speed, get the Kobo, if you want features & customisability, get a Verse (Verse also has lowe

I can't decide which one to get. Kindle, Kobo or Pocketbook?
As someone who also sideloaded exclusively, I ended up selling my Kobo Clara BW after I bought a Pocketbook Verse Pro Color. The only time it’s really laggy is when you’re doing things other than reading (which for me is minimal once I had it set up how I liked it). I love the page turn buttons at t

Going from Kindle to Pocketbook for large PDFs/scans
The only issue is the format in itself, so PDF. I recently tested a 8mb PDF from archive.org for a user here, and it crippled my Verse Pro - on the other hand did I test a high quality 500mb PDF I created myself, and it ran almost as well as an epub. Are you sure that you can change font in reflow-m
