Kobo Libra Colour vs Kobo Clara BW/Colour vs PocketBook Era Color mainly for manga?
PocketBook InkPad 4 / Kobo Sage > PocketBook Era (or Era Lite if already available) / Kobo Libra 2 > PocketBook Era Color / Libra Colour > Kobo Clara BW / Verse b/w line > Verse Pro Colour / Kobo Clara Colour Why? Size matters, as is the b/w tech way better for manga (way better contrast and no scre

New to e-readers - not sure where to start
I think you got the Pocketbook model mixed up. The Verse Lite is the only one without buttons. Otherwise, the Verse, Verse Pro, and Verse Pro Color all have buttons. For manga, how do you feel about the Pocketbook Era? The store isn’t good if you’re in the United States but you can load Google Play

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

I need a 7-8" BW ereader with buttons. Suggestions?
If manga is important to you, I would recommend the InkPad 4 and forget about anything regarding ergonomics. Size is important if you don't want to mess with zooming, and even 8" can get - depending on the manga - rather small (small text bubbles with small text). Additionally is manual zooming (wit

Verse Pro vs Verse Pro Color (both FW 6.10) – missing UI text size on Verse Pro
It is what it is, you shouldn't pay so much attention to version numbers, it's likely that PocketBook just messed this up or different devices have different software iterations, and can't be compared to each other, I don't know. Until around two weeks ago, all of my three devices had slightly diffe

Poor performance on koreader with pocketbook era
That's interesting, I use the Pocketbook Verse Pro Color and noticed something similar. Koreader reads through regular epubs, OPDS books, and manga and webtoons on Rakuyomi extremely fast, absolutely no problem opening those files or navigating them at all. But PDFs are a very different experience.

Ancient Sony ereader PDF handling seems better than some modern ereaders? Is that evidence that I should buy one for cheap?
No, PocketBook and Kobo just do have different priorities. I would say Kobo offers a more stable and basic OS, while PocketBook offers more features, but also add some... quirks and irks? 😂 Also does Kobo may have better programmers, while PocketBooks is more friendly in adding new features. And the

Undecided about buying a Verse Pro
Any ereader (e-tablet/enote) will have flaws, no matter how much money you spend. It's different compared to e.g. to TVs, where you only get the best if you spend a certain amount of money. In the end it's about what you want to do with your device, not how much money it costs (screen size, colour y

Moving from 623 to Inkpad Color or Verse color?
The question colour or not can only be answered by yourself, and you already did it. If you are willing to accept the disadvantages, try it out. Even if you find people who agree that it's worth switching to colour, you could be disappointed, and even when I tell you I would never buy a colour devic

Looking for an e-reader with both audiobooks and text-to-speech
Every PocketBook on from Verse Pro (only via Bluetooth), and both Eras and InkPads (so their each b/w & colour variants) also via one integrated speaker. But don't expect much from the quality, I compared it once to google tts and it's similarly bad/good. Kobo doesn't allow sideloading of audiobooks
