PocketBook Verse Pro E-Reader Waterproof | Eye-Friendly 6'' E-Ink Carta™ HD Touchscreen | Audio-Book & E-Book Reader | Text-to-Speech Function | SMARTlight | 16GB | WiFi & Bluetooth | Azure

If you need a good quality , waterproof non kindle reader that can be easily used outside in the sun, this is the best choice. I have used kindle for years but lately Amazon added a bunch or restrictions. Tried Kobo Libra 2 and it good when it works but mine would freeze up once a day and had to restart. its also pretty wide. This pocket book is slim easy to hold and very responsive buttons work better that Kobo and you have home button as well. My only minor gripe is battery life if you read 4-5 hours a day, it will last 3 days or so. Not bad but not a month :) That not bad at all and sinse it charges from USB C its easy enough to charge

Excellent not overly complicated e-reader. If you're experienced with digital devices the learning curve is not too long. The display is excellent, sharp, and clear. Responds easily to touch inputs, and also has a good range of adjustments for brightness, font size, and other settings. The battery capacity is awesome. Have used the device for a month without recharging. I do not care for buying books directly from an e-reader. For this reader it is simple to connect the device with a USB cord to a PC. The reader detects the PC, and you select the connect option when prompted by the reader. Find the reader in "File Explorer" on Windows and load the book file into folder "English", or other choice of language folder displayed. I do read a few books in Spanish. Conveniently, press or tap on a word, a menu bar pops up with one selection being a dictionary. The dictionary is Spanish to English since the book is in the English folder. I assume that works with other languages. Amazing. I recommend the Versa Pro if you're looking for a straight forward E-book reader.

I recently upgraded from my aging Kobo H2O to the Verse Pro, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. The responsiveness is impressive, with seamless page-turning and no lag—something my old device struggled with.For my needs, which are primarily reading e-books, the Verse Pro is perfect. I appreciate its simplicity and focus on providing an excellent reading experience without the unnecessary extra features found on newer devices. I prefer using my other gadgets for that stuff.I have my own e-book files, and the Verse Pro handles them wonderfully. However, it's important to note that purchasing books directly from the device isn't available in many regions, so be sure to check if this applies to you before buying.One feature I miss from my Kobo is the ability to lock the device with a PIN for added security.Overall, I highly recommend the Verse Pro for anyone looking for a reliable and responsive e-reader dedicated to reading.

Love this little e-reader. Didn’t break the bank and it’s super easy to add books, magazines, etc no matter which route you take! I recommend a case cuz I almost dropped it a few times without it (small hands and clumsy) but it feels durable. I had a nook, kindle, and a Kobo before and this one is just the absolute best! No ads or proprietary software, unless your “free” e-pub comes with ads…. Very giftable!!!!

This is my 3rd Pocketbook. I was actually entertaining a thought about buying colored version of reader for a while and thought about another PB version but read reviews that unless you read colored graphic novels/manga there is no point in colored reader.I like the size a lot. Was looking specifically for 6'' display - easy to hold in one hand it's light but big enough to read comfortably. Basically it's a size of pocketbook book :) You can fit it in your small hand back easily.Big bonus for me is an ability to turn pages both with touch screen and buttons. Can't say which way I use more but buttons definitely used quite often.Storage is quite big. I have transferred all my e-library from prior reader and still not using even 1/3 of it. You can upload books either via email (reader sets specific email account when it first switched on), through usb link or internet connection. I think this version also have cloud backup but my prior reader didn't have that so I can't tell if you can successfully set it up from it.I mostly read in epub or fb2 formats but reader also understands other formats and have quite a list of what it can read. I think mobi ones takes a little more time to get opened so I prefer other formats to it.Overall I am very satisfied. Have been using it for 3 months at the moment and have no complaints. Reason of switching from Pocketbook Touch HD3 was that after 5 years battery was not holding as long as it used to and only last a week without charging.

Nice first impression. Still learning though.
