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 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

I have a confession…..
I’ve been struggling with the Colorsoft. I find I have to adjust the warmth and brightness with a frequency that’s a nuisance. The battery also drains fast. I read for the whole day after Christmas (8ish hours) and it went from fully charged to dying. In comparison to the Paperwhite, which took like

Kobo Libra Colour vs Kindle Colorsoft – Which would you keep?
I had both, and kept the KLC and returned the Colorsoft Frankly I just like the Kobo OS much more and love that I can mod and customize it freely with no hassles. Also feels good not giving in to Amazon’s monopolistic Kindle ecosystem, but that’s a whole other discussion separate from the quality of

My new buddy, hopefully for a long time ❤️
I have the Era Lite since Monday and after a few starting problems (I wanted to send it back initially) I'm now very happy with it! I love the open system and the UI, Libby App and even the few "games" are fun. I also have the Libra Colour and Colorsoft but I don't really like the darkness of the Ka

People who moved from Kindle to Kobo, how different is the experience really?
I got a KLC and ended up returning it because I just missed Kindle. 😕 I know that’s like blasphemy in this sub, but it’s true. Things I missed:WhisperSync- This is probably the biggest one. I love that the Kindle keeps a cloud library for you, and it keeps your location in sync, as well as saving yo

UPDATE: Waited 5 months for my RAM, it died in 2 weeks, and now Amazon wants to screw me over with a useless refund.
They’re just going to keep sending you shitty products. Did anyone even see how they handled their Kindle Colorsoft release? The screens had a yellow band across them and they just kept taking old one backs and sending out new broken ones. For a year. You’re dealing with a company who is so big they

Kindle to Kobo?
I switched from Kindle to kobo and prefer kobo. It has a better UI, no ads anywhere, and overdrive integration. I downloaded all my kindle books before Amazon got rid of the download feature, so they were easy to de-drm with Calibre. I'd advise that, even if you stay with kindle, you download and ba

Best budget (least expensive) color E-reader that uses an E-ink display?
Honestly, you just think you want to read comics on e-ink. Realistically, it's not really there yet. and a 6" or 7" reader is just too small, you would want an 8' color tablet at a minimum, in my opinion. Some will say a 7" reader is good enough, but it seems tiny to me. A tablet is still the best f

1+ month user - Review of Note Air 5C
Thanks for your experience. I am also a new owner of the NA5C. I've had it just over a week now, and while I still have a little while to make my decision on whether to keep it, I am conflicted. The dim screen that requires the the backlight to be on almost all the time and the general laggyness of
