Not that I recall other than if you wanted to use their book sync function. My one gripe has been that it has to use dropbox or their cloud service to auto sync books.

Since I have an email server in house I’d rather hoped to just make an email account for it and send things via calibre that way. But manual copy or downloading via the (rather slow and basic) built in browser works too.

I have a verse and haven’t charged it in probably 2 months. Granted I don’t use it heavily, mostly a bit at bedtime, but it seems to sip power pretty well.

Pocketbook has been good to me, not bound to any particular format or shop, just reads files and a lot of them are fairly inexpensive.

I would assume they’re available in Europe since I believe it’s a German company.
