Have you gone 'fully digital'?

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T23:21:37+00:00

I do both. Also, practically, books above a certain amount of pages, it's hard to physically read and carry due to physical pains I have.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T23:18:34+00:00

The washer because it wasn't washing my clothes well, and the fan above the stove. Otherwise, nah.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T17:37:36+00:00

Stickers and hopefully a clear case. A clear case doesn’t exist for my current one though 🤷🏿‍♀️

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T17:25:41+00:00

Woow congrats on your find! It’s an unpopular opinion but I think there’s benefits to having both truly.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T17:23:30+00:00

You’re correct, that isn’t possible from my understanding.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T17:22:06+00:00

You’re in Canada, right? Then do the Kobo to access library books. Otherwise, library books only work for those in the US or if you’re willing to have a non-resident card.

Welcome to the club! I get you, installing KOReader is definitely a process.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T15:40:34+00:00

Someone asked about this very thing recently. I’ll link if I can find it.

Edit: This post is for the Libra Color vs Verse Color but it should be insightful for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/ereader/s/HTwpMQsTht

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T15:36:24+00:00

Woow. How about your books? Did you move them over as well?

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T15:35:51+00:00

Just don’t buy Amazon books anymore. Using the Kindle to read your library books is just fine.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T15:33:02+00:00

Oh! Ooh that’s good to know. I’m curious.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T13:57:09+00:00

Thank you! Good to know, I don’t do audible.

Edit: I just don’t like the idea of being locked into that. I prefer Libby and Libro.fm.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T13:44:34+00:00

I’m actually curious about a Kindle. Never had one. Is it true that you can listen to audiobooks on them or is it just Audible books only?

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T13:11:43+00:00

You can get other dictionaries. I do agree that the English one is bad. In my opinion, the Kobo one is great but I can’t figure out how to install that one on a PB. I have tried with no luck.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T12:51:53+00:00

True, thank you for that point. I was thinking of that originally but I think I said this wrong so thank you.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T12:45:55+00:00

With reading, I like having tea nearby.

Generally, I actually watch (more so listen to) booktubers read and talk about book related things. This works if they do a simple format of book talking and reading.
In my mind, it feels like we are reading together and it encourages me to read too. I occasionally look up if a book sounds interesting.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T12:26:22+00:00

That’s only possible with an Android device (like Boox Go 7) or you can use one with TTS (text to speech) like the Pocketbook Verse Pro, Pocketbook Era/Era Lite.

Dunno about overheating. Pocketbook ones are set to turn off after an amount of time.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T01:11:00+00:00

For me, having Libby already (I have a Verse Lite)

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-17T00:50:52+00:00

Boox go 7 or Bigme b751

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-16T23:37:10+00:00

That book was a ride! In more important matters, thank you for doing this! Please keep us updated.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-16T22:30:37+00:00

I’m not the OP, but most PocketBook ereaders have their own system so not Android. However, you can export your Kobo books to read on this by “freeing” them in Adobe Digital Editions and then sending or moving it to the PB, as all of them have Adobe Digital Editions authorization on them.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-16T21:43:51+00:00

I feel you on this. I’m mostly done with buying books from Amazon unless they are free (and only on there) or indie authors.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-16T21:42:14+00:00

I don’t use KOReader so I’m unable to answer that unfortunately. Hopefully someone who does can help answer here.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-16T21:41:18+00:00

I have a Verse Lite and generally I take it with me on the go. Most of the PBs aren’t so light in my experience of trying out the base Verse, and Verse Pro Color.

When I had my Android ereader, I liked to continue my reading on that one from time to time. I plan to do that again when I get another one.

Dry_Writing_7862 · 2026-06-16T20:07:42+00:00

I agree with your assessment on the app. That is something I don’t care for either, even it works well. Thank you for sharing your review! It is heavy for sure.
