Pocketbook owners, can you all post pictures of your decorated readers, I need inspirations 🌺

The clear case from my kindle basic more or less fits my verse color so I use that. I had bought some book cover stickers so taped those to the back of the pocketbook. I also have a really neat case that looks like a composition book. It has a stand and a strap, but it makes the verse color too heav

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.

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

Switch the InkBook for Pocketbook?

Yes, you definitely have some options on PocketBooks for organising (beside the fact that all opened books will automatically appear on your three home page sites - great to be misused as tool to more visually remember yourself what you want to read, instead of just creating a list). Downside a bit

Have you changed your PocketBook default settings since you first got it?

Oh and I turned off the syncing. I noticed it tends to drain the battery a little bit faster (it's only noticeable on small devices with small batteries only, like the Go6, or the Verse in the case of pocketbook devices). I don't mind that my books aren't synced between my different devices.

What kind of e-reader should I get?

Any 6" PocketBook or Kobo, black & white, no colour device. If you want to read epubs with/without Adobe DRM: There are no budget options, at least if you want proper software and a device from a known brand. The only way to save money is to buy an used older device (released around the last 5-10 ye

BOOX Go 6 vs PocketBook Verse vs Kobo Clara BW

Unfortunately, the quality control of the Pocketbook models can be a mixed bag. You can have a device with no issues or have one with issues. It’s wild. I’m glad to have purchased from Amazon as I could just get another one. I totally understand that! I was in your shoes but didn’t even know of Pock
