  • You can use both the touchscreen and the buttons to control your e-reader.

Description

Comfortably read books on the PocketBook Verse Gray. You can easily take the compact and light e-reader with you on the go. That's useful when you're traveling by train, for example. You can adjust the brightness and color temperature of the screen to your liking with SMARTlight. That way, you can also read outside or at night. You can control the e-reader with the touchscreen or the 4 buttons. Read many books in other languages? The integrated dictionary helps you with unfamiliar words. This e-reader isn't water-resistant and you can't listen to audiobooks with this e-reader. Like listening to audiobooks in the bath or at the pool? Get the Verse Pro. A charger isn't included. Order it separately and charge your e-reader right away.

A solid e-reader for an affordable price

Bought this to replace an 8 year old pocketbook e-reader. It is a solid e-reader, easy to read in the dark and in full sunshine. Font and size are easy to adjust. The battery also lasts a long time.

Excellent e-reader

  • Screen is nice
  • Easily load books
  • Light weight
  • The click of the page turn is very audible

Good reader for the money. I chose it because in principle I did not want the Kobo or the Kindle, which are linked in terms of format to one online store. I am really satisfied with it, but there are some down-sides: it responds slowly, and the touch screen does not respond consistently. Sometimes my page shifts or I get a settings screen, while as far as I know I have not touched the screen, and when I actually want to call up a screen or make a choice, sometimes it does not respond. The click of the page button is present. And because the touch screen does not respond well, you are dependent on that button. Not that my partner sits upright in bed at night, but why that click in the first place?
