PocketBook Verse Pro e-reader

PocketBook Verse Pro is a high-end e-reader developed by PocketBook International SA. The brand was originally founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2007 by Oleg Naumenko and Dmytro Shemet. Since its inception, the company has grown into one of the world's leading manufacturers of electronic readers based on E-Ink technology.

While the brand's intellectual property and headquarters were moved to Lugano, Switzerland, to facilitate international growth, the production is handled through contract manufacturing in specialized electronic hubs in China. This allows the brand to maintain competitive pricing while integrating high-quality components like the E-Ink Carta screens.

The PocketBook brand remains independent, owned by the Swiss-based PocketBook International SA. The company manages its own research, development, and software design, distinguishing itself from competitors like Amazon or Kobo by offering a wider range of supported file formats and open-ecosystem features.
