While I do own many electronic gadgets, ebook readers are the thing I want ultimate simplicity and are by far the devices I keep most around.
I just want to spend a couple of minutes to get an ebook and upload it to my reader. And that is it. I rarely use a dictionary, but if I am not mistaken I believe I have the Oxford one (or something better than default) from the days of my first reader the Bookeen Cybook Gen3 that I could move forward. In any case dictionary I have used less than 10 times the last years, so not so important.
Frontlight I need for sure, since nowadays most of my reading happens on airplanes.
The only comment that got me thinking a bit was the one about Pocketbook's weakest feature is font handling. Given than I can add fonts I hope I will be able to get one that I can set the size and it to be clear enough. I guess that after the first week I will simply turn it on, read, bookmark turn off and when finished add another book and do that all over again and this is the reason I do not really want any other features.

Thank you all! I will most probably get the PocketBook Verse Pro when I get back from holidays.

PS. Sorry for this off-topic comment. But I want to say I love that the aesthetics of mobileread forums have remained the same for so long. It might be years between my posts here, but I always feel at home when coming back to seek advice or share some thoughts.
