From Expert Reviews
Praised by Experts
Criticized by Experts
Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers appreciate the Verse Pro Color’s ultra‑compact size, solid build quality, and the addition of color to PocketBook’s e‑ink lineup, noting that the Kaleido 3 screen and Bluetooth audio make it a versatile choice for comics and audiobooks. However, they criticize the indented display, modest color resolution, and lack of expandable storage, suggesting it’s a niche device that excels in portability rather than premium visual fidelity.
What Users Say
Direct consumer feedback is scarce, but the limited user commentary that exists mirrors expert sentiment, with users valuing the device’s portability, waterproofing, and ability to play audiobooks, while occasionally mentioning concerns about the recessed screen and color sharpness.
Common Complaints
Common issues include the indented screen that can trap dust, the relatively low 150 ppi color resolution, and the lack of a microSD card slot for additional storage.
