Pocketbook Verse / Pro or Touch Lux?

[vashly]

Looking to get a Pocketbook e-reader in the 6inch B/W format for reading mostly novels. Not manga, pdfs or comics. Mainly loaned and owned e-books without pictures or graphics.

I want something light weight and one handed for commutes (including reading on trains while sitting and standing during shorter subway rides.).

I am currently at the stage where I feel concerned if the ppi on any device other than the verse pro will be too low resolution. I am currently reading on a Kobo Libra 2 and I love how crisp and clear the text is there. I worry than any touch lux or even the verse (non-pro) may be too much of a visual downgrade in terms of ppi, even if the verse is a 6in.

Any advice to help me chose between the 6in form factor pocketbooks would be amazing. Happy to discuss and detail further my needs in an e-reader as well.

Knowing why you specifically don't want a Clara BW for this role might help a little?

I've never owned a Libra 2 so can't do a direct comparison, but the Touch HD 3 (which, I believe, has the same screen as the Verse Pro) has a sharp, clear screen. The fonts that come with the HD 3 aren't as dark as I would like them, but I use the Constantia font (on every reader) and it's good and dark on the HD 3.
