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

Kobo Libra Colour vs Kindle Colorsoft – Which would you keep?
Ive used both (not the colorsoft but the paperwhite and the scribe) and I'd go with the kobo. For me, the closed ecosystem cancels out most of the positives of the kindle. I hate wearing golden handcuffs.

How’s e-readers affected your life? Share your history and experience of using e-readers!
The short version is, ereaders have made it difficult for me to read physical books anymore. I have been with kindle ever since 2011. I got the Kindle Touch in 2011. Then a Kindle Paperwhite 2nd gen in 2014. A Kindle Paperwhite 10th gen in 2019. Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen in 2023. I branched out fro

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

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

Best Tablet For Comics?
Kindle Colorsoft isn't an option, because that uses the Kindle ebook platform, not their AOSP Android-based OS for Fire tablets. A Fire tablet can work, but you'd have to either hack it to install Google Play Services or sideload. Best bang for your buck is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 64GB. It was on

Kobo Libra Colour vs Kindle Colorsoft – Which would you keep?
Haven't tried the colorsoft but I switched from Kindle oasis to kobo libra colour and far prefer Kobo's UI and the extra options I have with using it with Calibre, also kindle doesn't support libby in Canada and the colorsoft doesn't have buttons so it was never a good option for me.

.kfx files on Mac. Trouble backing up my books.
You can’t pull books from a Colorsoft into Calibre. If you own a Kindle which is 11th gen or newer, your only option is to use Kindle for PC. (I know you’re on a Mac. So am I, but Kindle for Mac isn’t an option.) You do not use an older version of Kindle for PC. You follow the method that is repeate

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

kobo ereaders
I wanted a color ereader and that was before the disastrous ColorSoft launch, so I switched to Kobo and I think so far I’ve found one book that wasn’t on Kobo which I discovered was because of Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited exclusivity clause which only applies to self-pub/indie authors (which is why you
