## Description

Pocketbook eReader - Verse Lite

Review: The perfect device to mimic reading a real book - This is the ONLY e-reader on the market that ticks all the boxes I care about and ditches stuff I don't: 1. BW, not color = more battery life. If you don't read Manga or anything that benefits from color, just regular books, this is perfect. 2. It runs on Linux = more battery life, less bloat. 3. It's as open source as you can get with e-readers; not fussy about book formats/DRM etc. 4. You can transfer books from your PC via a USB-C cable - no messing around with wireless transfers via email, Dropbox etc (although Dropbox functionality is there if you want it), just drag and drop like you would with an external hard drive. 5. It has a micro SD slot. This bears repeating - IT HAS A MICRO SD SLOT. This is an INCREDIBLY RARE feature now - most companies are forgoing expandable memory with silly features like waterproofing instead. It has 8GB internal storage space which may sound a bit chintzy but come on; that's around 7000 EPUB books! But if that's not enough for you then you can fit more books than you could ever wish for on a Micro SD card and read them from there. 6. You can set up the device without creating any kind of account. Does any other company let you do this these days? 7. It's a great size - most e-readers are 6" or 7" or so, which is great for portability and you can fit in your pocket, but for reading in the house the text area on this device is just about exactly the same size as a large paperback which I think is perfect, and if you don't care about note taking with styluses etc that most devices around 10" concentrate on this is the one to get. 8. It has physical page turn buttons, and they're conveniently placed to the side of the screen, not beneath it, like the Inkpad 4. Side buttons are great for reading on a stand, whereas ones at the foot of the device are a bit awkward 9. It has a fairly large 2200mAh battery and it lasts a LONG time - many weeks between recharges, mostly because the device is BW, and running on Linux. This is the second Inkpad Lite I've bought but there's nothing wrong with the first. The reason I bought this is because it seems like the last of a dying breed, and as it first appeared on the market 4 years ago I'm assuming it will be discontinued at some point soon and there's nothing else on the market that has this feature set. As a side note, people complain about the 150PPI resolution, but the quality of the text on all the books I've read looks great to me - it's as good as or better than text on the page of a real book so I don't think I care what the number is. TLDR: This is a great device for someone with a PC and a large library of books downloaded from various places who wants a bigger screen and is sick of the restrictions that come with most ebook readers today.
Review: Very nice e-reader. - The PocketBook InkPad Lite is a compelling choice for readers who prioritize a large screen and format flexibility without breaking the bank. It carves out a niche for itself by offering an impressive 9.7-inch display, a size often reserved for more expensive e-readers and E Ink tablets. Here's a breakdown of what makes the InkPad Lite stand out: The Big Screen Advantage The star of the show is undoubtedly the 9.7-inch E Ink Carta screen. For those who find standard 6-inch e-readers too small, this larger canvas is a game-changer. It's particularly well-suited for reading PDFs, comics, and textbooks, as it allows for more content on the page and reduces the need for constant zooming and scrolling. The screen is non-reflective and provides an eye-friendly, paper-like reading experience. Customizable Comfort with SMARTlight PocketBook's SMARTlight feature is a welcome addition, allowing you to adjust not only the brightness but also the color temperature of the frontlight. This means you can have a cool, crisp light for daytime reading and a warmer, amber tone for nighttime sessions, which is easier on the eyes. The ability to customize these settings is a significant advantage over devices with a fixed light color. Format Freedom and Sideloading One of the InkPad Lite's biggest strengths is its extensive support for e-book and graphic formats. It can handle a wide variety of files, including EPUB, PDF, DJVU, and CBR/CBZ for comics, without the need for conversion. This makes it an ideal device for those who have a diverse digital library and don't want to be locked into a single ecosystem. Sideloading books is also a breeze, with options for USB-C connection, Wi-Fi, and cloud services like Dropbox and PocketBook Cloud. Design and Ergonomics The design is pragmatic and classic, with a comfortable feel despite its size. It features physical page-turn buttons on the side, a feature many readers prefer over relying solely on the touchscreen. A G-sensor for automatic screen rotation ensures the device is comfortable for both right- and left-handed users. The device is also surprisingly compact for its screen size, making it relatively easy to carry around. Potential Downsides While the InkPad Lite offers great value, it's not without its compromises. The screen resolution of 825 x 1200 with a pixel density of 150 DPI is lower than some premium e-readers. This can result in text and images appearing less crisp, particularly with small fonts or detailed graphics. Some users may also notice that the backlight isn't perfectly uniform. Additionally, the device lacks note-taking capabilities and water resistance, which might be a deal-breaker for some. Conclusion The PocketBook InkPad Lite is an excellent choice for a specific kind of reader: one who prioritizes a large screen and the freedom to read a wide range of file formats. If you're a student, a comic book enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys a more immersive reading experience on a bigger display, the InkPad Lite offers a compelling combination of features and value. While it may not have the highest resolution on the market or all the bells and whistles of a premium tablet, its focus on core e-reading functions makes it a standout option in its category.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you rotate the ereader for reading left handed?**
A: Hello. InkPad Lite has g-sensor, which enables screen rotation.

**Q: How do you easily transfer books from an iPad to this device?**
A: If the books were bought from Appstore, you can not transfer them since they might be in the unsupported format. 
However, there are several ways to copy purchased books onto a Pocketbook device:

1. Pocketbook Cloud. Register a Cloud account and synchronize it with your Pocketbook.
2. Send-to-Pocketbook. Send books to a registered email address and get them on your device.
3. Browser. Download books directly from your Pocketbook device using a built-in web browser (only for touch screen models).
4. Direct copy. Transfer books directly onto your device using a PC and a USB cable.

Attention! The majority of books are DRM-protected. To be able to read DRM-protected books, you should create an Adobe ID and log in your account on your Pocketbook.
Pocketbook does not support books purchased at Amazon. ​

**Q: Hello, 
Can I use a stylus on it? and take notes on each page of the book?**
A: I'd imagine a capacitive stylus would work but be careful not to scratch the screen, this is by no means a drawing tablet. yes you can take notes in each page within a book and also every note contained within the reader for every book on the device may be listed.

**Q: What capacity sd card does this inkpad lite allow? some descriptions say 128 gb, but this amazon page says up to 32 gb. are there different options?**
A: PocketBook InkPad Lite support MicroSD cards. The maximum size – up to 128GB, the optimal Speed Classes – from Class 2 to Class 10.

Important! such card needs to be formatted before its usage (Settings - Maintenance - Format SD card). You will find detailed instructions how to install the MicroSD card into the device in the User Manual on page 17. https://support.pocketbook-int.com/fw/970/u/6.5.2897/manual/ww/User_Manual_InkPad_Lite_EN.pdf

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There's so many things to like.
*by J***Y on March 10, 2023*

There are so many things I like about this. I am using it as an ereader and not much more. So there's much I cannot comment on. As an ereader, I am quite happy. I like the size and ease of it. I love that I can make the wording better by just using two fingers and scrolling out or in (to make it smaller). The light isn't hard on the eyes and lights the wording really well. That it has a micro SD made me choose this particular Inkpad. Battery is okay. I read for around 12 hours and then recharge. The cons; Like every other ereader and touch screen I have, they are glitchy. But I'd say this is a tiny bit more glitchy than most. If I use the buttons to go to the next page, that's fine and never glitches. However, in the dark they are hard to see and use and have no feel to them to know what is the right button to hit. However, if you can't see you can use your finger on the screen to to swipe to turn the other page. Now, this is where glitches come into play. Sometimes it goes a few pages instead of one. Sometimes it acts as if I used two fingers and is now trying to resize the page. This can truly be annoying when I am waiting for it to resize when I am at an important part of the book. Since are no buttons on both side, I have to struggle to find the button to change the page with my right hand only. Would be much nicer if on both sides. Would I buy this again? Of course. Out of all my options, this was the one I kept coming back too and I have been happily reading since.
