PocketBook Verse Lite
Score: 69/100Onyx Go Series
Score: 77/100Rankings
The ONYX BOOX Go 6 delivers a crisp 300 ppi Carta Plus display and an 8-core processor with 2 GB RAM for smooth Android performance. Its lack of waterproofing and small 6-inch screen may limit extensive note-taking. Suited for users who need a powerful, ultra-portable ePaper device.
The PocketBook Verse Lite is an ultra-light 6-inch e-reader with a 212 ppi touchscreen, cold-only SmartLight, and up to two months of battery life. It sacrifices warm lighting, waterproofing, and storage expansion for a low price. Ideal for budget-conscious travelers needing basic ebook support.

Professional reviewers see the Verse Lite as a stripped-down, budget-focused version of the standard Verse, praising its ultra-light weight, month-long battery and wide format support, but lamenting the loss of warm light, page-turn buttons, rotation sensor and waterproofing, which makes it feel like a very basic offering for 2025.
Everyday users consistently highlight the device's portability, long battery life and clear glare-free screen, noting it meets the needs of casual readers and travelers, while no strong negative feedback is recorded beyond the expected limitations of a low-cost model.
While no dedicated reviews of the Go 6 were found, analysts of the Go series emphasize its high-resolution 300 ppi screen, fluid Android 11 performance, and the versatility that Android apps bring, positioning it as a solid ultra-portable reader despite its modest hardware.
General consumer chatter praises the Go 6's portability, battery life, and ability to handle a wide range of ebook formats, but recurring remarks mention the limited RAM and small screen as constraints for heavy PDF work or note-taking.
