Should you purchase a cover?
E-ink displays are fragile. Your e-reader can serve you for years if it's well-protected and cared for. We highly recommend getting a cover to protect your device, especially its display.

What do our customers think?
Lost my Touch HD and was in between Verse vs Verse Pro. Glad that I made the right decision! This blue Verse is just beautiful inside out. Being lightweight is the main reason I still stick to Pocketbook. Lacking MP3 and waterproof features, but hey, not that I always by the beach or listen to the music while reading.
Great for those looking for an e-reader minus the bells and whistles of an android-based reader. Small form factor and lightweight. And it provides additional storage via an SD card slot in case you cannot access your cloud storage!
Decided on the Touch Lux 5 as my first e-reader after some research and weighing pros and cons between e-readers.
Lightweight enough that it doesn't tire my arms/hands, and easy to read anywhere and anytime with the adjustable backlight feature. Easy to upload ebooks either locally or through WiFi, and has great battery life so far as well. Only issue would be the location of the power button being a bit awkward.
Everything else is as I hoped for to help me get back into reading!
Very easy to sync to other accounts (Google Play Book & ADE) Easy to sync all the books I own in my phone to the device using cloud. Packaging is very secured with lots of bubble wrap. Device is small and light and I can just hold it with one hand to read which is convenient. Overall, everything is good and I am very satisfied.
This is my first e-book reader, so I don't have any actual baseline to compare it against. Perhaps all I can say is, reading experience (on this e-ink device) is much more pleasant compared to using my smartphone (with Super AMOLED screen).
P/S: I've only been using this a week, and I'm already considering to buy another one as a gift for any other avid reader in my family!
