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

Anyone here pocketbook user? Please review your pocketbook e-reader. Is BW better than color version? What about battery consumption for both version?

Hello, for normal eBook Reading BW gives a sharper, clearer reading experience, unless you read lots of colored Manga, BW is the way to Go. Color: reduced contrast, screen door effect due to the extra color layer. Also what i noticed on my Pocketbook Verse is that the default reading app has problem

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

Pretty much anybody who has multiple is a hobbiest to some extent, but the reasons for owning multiple vary pretty wildly. I have 3 devices (Kobo Clara 2E, Pocketbook Verse Pro, Paperwhite 10th generation). The Clara 2E was my original device and was gifted to me. Unfortunately, it has an extremely

Spoilt for choice: PocketBook Verse Pro (BW) vs PocketBook Era (BW)

I never touched a Kindle and won't likely ever, so I can't tell you anything objectively comparison-wise. I have an InkPad 4 (same screen as the Era, so Carta 1200 and a flush glass front) and had a PocketBook Verse (Carta 1000; while the standard Verse only has 212ppi, the Pro also has 300ppi like

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
