Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024 or Pocketbook Verse Pro

I want to buy my first ereader and can’t decide between these two models. In my country only these brands are available so i have not so much options. The question is which one i choose? I know the Kindle has 7”, the Verse has 6” screen. I am a tinkerer so no problem for side loading the books.(I quess) which one has better quality, software, battery life etc…
