Anyone regret buying a PocketBook?

I have both Verse and Era and I only regret there is no model like Boox Palm — have to use a PocketBook app to sync my books with it. It works a bit clumsy.

Pocketbook Era color after a week or so

I had the Pocketbook Verse and I ultimately came to the same conclusion. On paper? Everything seemed incredible. Seamless KOReader integration, opening books into its interface directly through library. Native Adobe DRM support for us Europeans who don’t have Overdrive/Libby option for local librari

What to buy if I wanted powerful but compact?

PocketBooks are fairly notorious for being slower in most things (other than page-turning, meaning it’s perfectly fine for many people) compared to other dedicated devices, and Verse Lite (which isn’t Android, to be clear, so no Moon Reader possible anyway!) is their cheapest / most “budget” device.

Read-along Audiobook plugin for KOReader!

I have followed the install instructions for the latest release v0.1.5.5 and then v0.1.5.4 to test on my Pocketbook Verse Pro Color, I can see the plugin is checked and enabled in the plugin management section of the Koreader settings, however the "Read aloud here" option does not show when long pre

PocketBook vs Kobo vs Kindle (real opinions only)

I’ve had the chance to use several e-readers over the past months: PocketBook Verse Pro, PocketBook Era BW, Kobo Clara BW, BOOX Go 6, and BOOX Go 7. Out of all of them, the Kobo Clara BW ended up being my favorite. What made the difference for me was the screen quality, the simplicity of the interfa

Kobo Clara BW vs Pocketbook Verse Pro?

The Pocketbook Verse Pro does not have native Libby support yet (Libby is currently only available on select Pocketbook Models), though you can sideload Libby EPUBs via Adobe's Digital Editions system. It should be coming to the Verse Pro via a software update soon, likely this year based on what I'

Easiest/cheapest?

The Nook GlowLight 4 can be had for VERY cheap on the used market. Probably because the software is fucking god awful. So long as you're okay using a computer to transfer ebooks, it's a great option, although I would install KOReader to it. You can pick them up for like $60, and the hardware checks

Pocketbooks ability to read large PDFs

I immediadetly run into a paradoxon: the 38mb one runs well, around as fast as an epub, perfectly fine to read - but the 8mb one runs really bad, and pages can take seconds to load (over 10 seconds). So I shut logical thinking off and started experimenting (since I already know that PDF is a very ba

help me, I can't decide which one to get !(verse pro or era )

The Era is 228g, I guess your average paper book is heavier. What's additionally adding weight is the glass front. I myself don't have a issue with the weight, that's all I can tell you. Take two 100g bars of chocolate and look if this feels heavy to you. I already decided the question regarding And

Thought on Pocketbook Verse

I just sent my Verse Pro Colour back as it was unbearable slow coming from a kobo libra colour. I love Pocketbook sync options and cloud storage of side loaded books, and really wanted to like it but just couldn't. I much prefer the Kobo screen too.
