If you're looking for a simple black and white e-reader with a great screen and an easy-to-use interface, this is the one for you. The only drawback I can think of is that it can be a little slow. It's not slow enough to make you pull your hair out, though, and if you're patient, you'll be just fine. I also wasn't expecting the physical buttons on the bottom, but they ended up making the reading experience much more enjoyable than I anticipated. Review: Absolutely fantastic! - I've been using the pocketbook for about a week and it has far exceeded my expectations. The last ereader I had was a nook of some sort around the year 2012. The PocketBook is easy to read, has a backlight, and is adjustable. I can adjust the size of the font, read with the lights off, and orient the screen to the position i'm laying in. All of this is without advertisements (eat it kindle). The device came with quite a few different books preloaded in English as well as other European languages. The device appears to take almost any file type, however, I have only used .epub so far and they work exceptionally well. The battery life is great so far, I've read roughly 600 pages so far and have over half of a charge remaining after loading my books (in my mind that's not a full charge) The storage is great, and is easily expandable via micro sd. The screen is very responsive, I have tended to use the buttons, but the device is adjustable to reload the pages every 1, 5, or 10 pages. This results in every 5 pages (default) flashing black, but I feel like it makes the device load less frequently resulting in snappier response. In other words, it's compatible with everything easy to use, and in my limited experience the absolute best ereader i've laid my hands on. I also got the "origami cover" it puts it to sleep when the cover is closed and appears to protect it effectively (my solitary complaint is that it feels fragile without the cover). It feels like the cover is worth $20 just to protect the screen. TBH this is the happiest i've been with a purchase in a long time. I feel like they have provided exactly what is advertised, and it executes it's job exceedingly well. ## Features - ✔️ EYE-FRIENDLY & GLARE-FREE TOUCHSCREEN: The E-Ink Carta touchscreen provides a crisp and glare-free reading experience in high-resolution, making it ideal for long reading sessions. Enjoy an eye-friendly 6-inch display that comes as close as possible to a page on paper. - ✔️ ADJUSTABLE SMARTlight: Indulge in eye-safe reading no matter the lighting conditions, even in complete darkness! Thanks to the SMARTlight function, you can adjust not only the brightness of the screen but also the color temperature of the frontlight, choosing a warm or cool tone. - ✔️ SUPPORTS MOST POPULAR FORMATS WITHOUT CONVERSION: The e-reader supports 25 formats, including EPUB, FB2, DOC, DJVU, PDF (DRM), JPEG, CBR, and CBZ. Open a wide range of books, documents and images without wasting time converting files. Verse is also compatible with online library services, thanks to its Adobe DRM support. - ✔️ ENDLESS E-READING: PocketBook Verse ensures endless reading adventures! The device comes with 8GB of built-in memory, allowing you to store several thousand books. If that’s not enough, you can add a memory card with up to 128GB. Plus, enjoy a month of reading on just one full charge, showcasing its impressive energy efficiency. - ✔️ ACCESS & SYNCH: Stay connected with the E-Book Reader's built-in Wi-Fi and seamlessly sync your collection with the PocketBook Cloud. With 11 pre-installed dictionaries and 42 additional language combinations available, it's the ideal choice for language learners and enthusiasts. - Eye-catching design, ergonomics, and compactness: PocketBook Verse is a lightweight e-reader (only 182 g) with a minimalistic design and two impressive colors – Bright Blue and Mist Grey. The device is extremely user-friendly due to mechanical control buttons and a touchscreen. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CGVTJ47Z | | Battery Average Life | 30 days | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,139 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,588 in Computers & Tablets | | Brand | PocketBook | | Built-In Media | E-reader, USB Type-C cable, documents | | Color | Bright Blue | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 259 Reviews | | Display Technology | Electronic Ink | | File Format | CBR, CBZ, DJVU, DOC, EPUB, FB2, JPEG, PDF | | Human-Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 6.2"L x 0.4"W x 4.3"Th | | Item Weight | 0.34 kg | | Manufacturer | PocketBook | | Memory Storage Capacity | 8 GB | | Mfr Part Number | PB629-2-WW | | Model Name | PocketBook Verse | | Model Number | PB629-2-WW | | Native Resolution | 1024x758 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Adjustable Front Light | | Screen Size | 6 inches | | Unit Count | 1 count | | Warranty Description | 2 year | ## Product Details - **Battery Life:** 30 days - **Brand:** PocketBook - **Color:** Bright Blue - **Connectivity Technology:** Wi-Fi - **Display Technology:** Electronic Ink - **Display resolution:** 1024x758 - **Included Components:** E-reader, USB Type-C cable, documents - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 8 GB - **Model Name:** PocketBook Verse - **Screen Size:** 6 Inches ## Images ![PocketBook Verse E-Reader | Eye-Friendly 6'' E-Ink Carta™ HD Touchscreen | Adjustable SMARTlight | Up to 1 Month of Battery Life | WiFi & Memory Card Slot | E-Book Reader in Bright Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614L8heg-2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I Was Looking For *by M***A on August 4, 2026* I have tried quite a few e-readers, and after being disappointed by overly complex user interfaces and subpar battery life (how could I forget the high price tags too), this one checked all the boxes.

For comparison I do have a Kindle gen 10 and a Kobo Clara. What I like about the Pocketbook is the cloud they provide. One thing I don't like is that when scrolling thru your books it is slow - comparable to the Kindle. Once you're reading all is good and the light works great, just the scrolling part. In comparison the Kobo is much faster then both of them, but no cloud. ## Frequently Bought Together - PocketBook Verse E-Reader | Eye-Friendly 6'' E-Ink Carta™ HD Touchscreen | Adjustable SMARTlight | Up to 1 Month of Battery Life | WiFi & Memory Card Slot | E-Book Reader in Bright Blue - Yiernuo Case for Pocketbook Verse ‎PB629 /Verse Pro PB634 E-Reader 6 Inch,Flip-Cover with auto Sleep/Wake Function,Navy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/560430546-pocketbook-verse-e-reader-eye-friendly-6-e-ink-carta](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/560430546-pocketbook-verse-e-reader-eye-friendly-6-e-ink-carta) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
