Pros

  • Of the three, I much prefer the Pocketbook. ... As an offline device, the Pocketbook is the most capable, and easiest to use, has the best dictionary, very good bookmarking, and good note taking features
  • I'm a big fan of my Pocketbook Lite. ... In contrast, when I got my Pocketbook Lite, I read 38 books in the first six months of getting it.
  • The Lite has the best operating system, the best onboard dictionary, supports lots of book formats that the Kindle doesn't, and it has a microSD card slot. ... For reading novels, the Lite is absolutely my preferred reader. I use it all...
  • The fact that I use it pretty much every day for a hour or more, and that I've only had to intentionally charge it once should tell you how long the battery lasts.
  • I have a Pocketbook Lite (9.7", 150PPI, slow, but great UI) and a Kindle Scribe (10.2", 300ppi, fast, mediocre UI). The Lite is much better as a book reader for novels, with a better UI and library management.

Cons

  • So basically that just leaves the PocketBook Verse - provided the OP is in an EU country and doesn’t just use euros for convenience. (PocketBook Lite is newer and cheaper but no card slot. And I’m guessing that hardware-wise it’s not goi...
  • I have two large e-readers, a Pocketbook Lite (9.7") and a Kindle Scribe (10.2"). ... Although I much prefer the Scribe over the Lite for most things, for PDFs, I would definitely go with the Scribe. It has four times the screen resoluti...
  • I love the Pocketbook Lite **except** for the fact that it's about a third the speed of the the Kindle and one quarter the resolution. If they used a faster chip and the higher resolution screen like the Kindle's, I'd buy one in a heartb...
  • The Pocketbook Lite is my daily driver, and I'd say it's superior to the Kindle Scribe in most ways **except** for PDFs. The Lite is only 150 resolution compared to the Scribe's 300ppi. ... For book reading, I much prefer the Lite's libr...
  • I have a Pocketbook Lite and a Kindle Scribe. The experiences are similar, but not identical. The Pocketbooket shows page numbers, while the Kindle just lists locations, and a percentage complete.

So basically that just leaves the PocketBook Verse - provided the OP is in an EU country and doesn’t just use euros for convenience. (PocketBook Lite is newer and cheaper but no card slot. And I’m guessing that hardware-wise it’s not going to be noticeably more advanced than the Verse.)

I have two large e-readers, a Pocketbook Lite (9.7") and a Kindle Scribe (10.2"). ... Although I much prefer the Scribe over the Lite for most things, for PDFs, I would definitely go with the Scribe. It has four times the screen resolution of the Lite (and is higher than the Elipsa's, but not by as much), and is considerably faster.

I love the Pocketbook Lite **except** for the fact that it's about a third the speed of the the Kindle and one quarter the resolution. If they used a faster chip and the higher resolution screen like the Kindle's, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

I mostly use the Pocketbook Lite, and when you export notes from it, it puts them in HTML format, with one HTML file per book. So you could easily import it into a browser and copy/paste from there, or write a script to parse the HTML to format it however you like.
