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

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

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,

What kind of e-reader should I get?

Kobo Clara BW (or a PocketBook Verse / Verse Pro, if available where you live) sounds like a good choice, as long as you’re sure you don’t intend to buy ebooks from Amazon or use Kindle Unlimited. If you have considered borrowing ebooks from a local library, then that may also matter - but depends h

What made you choose PocketBook over Kindle?

I switched from a kindle to a Pocketbook. Mostly, it had to do with customization and buttons. I wanted a six inch eReader with buttons. I loved that I could set it to tap on either side of the screen and go forward in my book. I liked that there were a variety of options for getting books onto the

Kubo or Kindle?

Kindle devices are great, but Amazon has been on an extreme mission to lock their system down. That’s an instant no for me. Kobo also makes great devices. I didn’t really like the thickness of the Kobo Clara BW but the screen was good. I only sideload, and the more books I got the longer it took cal

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

Help with choosing!

Kobo Clara BW. Small, waterproof, adjustable warm light, and while Kobo store is first-class, you can buy from other ADE or DRM free stores, and transfer them over using a computer. PocketBook Verse Pro is also a good option, and a computer isn't required for ADE books over there, but the display is

Just got InkPad Color 3… suggestions on set up?

I have an Inkpad 4. When you sign into Pocketbook Cloud choose the uk cloud over the de one. The rest depends on how you plan on loading books. I use calibre on my MacBook Air and a USB c cable to load onto the Inkpad. I also have a Verse Pro Color that I use on the go, and will download any book I’
