I think response time would be a bit sluggish compared to the Kindle. Also the Verse has a 212 dpi screen. (The Verse Pro has a 300 dpi screen.) Start time from completely off to on is about 3 to 4 seconds, though — this saves battery charge as it regularly turns off when not in use for a certain amount of time.
I primarily use a PocketBook Touch HD (basically a Verse Pro) because I like the battery life, screen, and the fact that it has ADE (or something like it) built in. So I can buy or borrow books directly by downloading the ACSM file via its built in browser, or by moving the ACSM file from my computer or smartphone.
I also like its advanced ePub "engine" and page turn buttons. (You can also turn off the touch screen, which I do sometimes.)
The built-in English dictionary isn't too impressive, so I use a Websters Unabridged dictionary I found, which works well. (You used to be able to buy the same Oxford dictionary that comes with the Kobo and Kindle, but I can't find a PocketBook version any more).
