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

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

Pocketbook Verse maybe? Has buttons, USB C, no need for account and you can safely ignore most other features. I own other PB model and I love it - I only read on it, 90% of books were loaded via USB using Calibre (but that is just my preference, you can drag and drop), can't complain. It is a bit s

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

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

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

Whatever you choose I highly recommend getting out of the kindle ecosystem sooner rather than later. As far as im aware it's still possible to strip DRM from amazon ebooks but amazon is making it harder and the current methods wont always be available. Even before getting a new ereader I'd deDRM you
