Kindle pw 12th is superfast, vs KLC

These are two different displays technologies. Its like comparing tomatoes and apples. Black and white is of course faster then colour. Compare the same kobo with a kindle colorsoft.

Could Apple's OLED iPad Mini Finally Be a Kindle Killer?

The weird thing is I don't think the Kindle is a loss-leader for Amazon anymore. I really wanted a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, but $700 is a tough pill to swallow when iPad Air costs far less. But I still can't buy into the iPad as a notebook replacement with the current tactile feel and glossy display

Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Libra Colour — which would you keep? 😭

I think only bullet point 2 matters here the most. Don’t let people gaslight you that the Kaleido 3 is an OK screen when it clearly bothers you. It is an amazing screen for those who don’t notice the screendoor effect, but if your eyes are sensitive, it just makes it unusable. I have a Kindle Oasis

Did anyone buy the new kindle scribe? I’d love to hear thoughts on what you like better on each

I actually did and received mine yesterday, and the Scribe is going back to Amazon today. Background: I owned a RM2 for a few years, fell in love with the device and bought the RMPP on day 1. I've been less enamored with RMPP as there are a lot more little things that annoy me about it, but still us

Just got my first Kobo - kind of regretting it after years with Kindle

I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and will try to answer some of your questions. You can change the screen zones from the settings, I can't remember what the default was but I have the whole middle part for the menus not just the bottom of the screen, and you can drag from the top to

Why I didn't like the Kobo Libra Colour (and am returning it)

5 is fixable, 8 is fixable via side load, 10 is also fixable but just seems inconvenient for you, 11 might not be a you issue. seems you might be too invested in the kindle ecosystem. can i ask why you didn’t just get a colorsoft?

I love DRM free books for the customization aspect. If a publisher does not make the book the way you’d like, you can fix it with new covers and fonts. I love that.

I can’t edit the post. I bought these in 2012 from Pottermore when they were sold DRM free. They were side loaded (or rather “send to kindle”) on to my colorsoft. I don’t buy books from Amazon, but I do love their devices. I get my books from other vendors and just transfer them to the device. The f

Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Libra Colour — which would you keep? 😭

I bought a KLC, returned it, and bought KL2 instead. I have an old paperwhite, and i felt the screen was brighter on that compared to KLC, and the KL2 was on sale at the time, and a lot brighter. I prefer Kobo due to the buttons, and I don't like the Amazon ecosystem and DRM, which were the reasons

Preço absurdo do Kindle

Eu tenho o Kindle colorsoft e tinha um paperwhite 4 e de um para o outro houve uma evolução sim, tela melhor, possibilidade de deixar a tela mais amarelada,o sistema está mais rápido, etc. Mas nada muito grandioso não na minha opinião, apenas pequenas mudanças.E eu acredito que o Kindle está cada ve
