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 pw 12th is superfast, vs KLC
I had the opposite. I bought a tablet thinking that it would be better and that I could get more from it than just an e-reader a couple of years ago and ended up never using it and instead using my phone to read, which had it's own problems. Or just the traditional books... The tablet was one of the

.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

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

Good E reader for beginners?
Color: Kobo Libra Colour / Kindle Colorsoft Text-based books: Kobo Clara BW / Kindle Paperwhite My personal recommendation: Kobo Libra Color. It’s the most user-friendly for sideloaded content.

I used to like Remarkable, but time to move on?
I find the colours more bold on the kindle scribe colour soft personally, and more distinctive, sometimes I could choose green on rmpp and it would look more grey! In the kindle it looks green. I’ve not used the boox before so I wouldn’t like to guess - only the RM2, RMPP, RM Move and the colorsoft

Any NetGalley users impacted by the older kindle support dropping?
They work pretty well. I traded in my 2012 kindle fire towards a colorsoft earlier this year. I wasn’t using it often, mostly just for comics and graphic novels, since I had another ereader but it functioned normally (just shorter battery life).

Empfehlung für E-Book-Reader und Seiten zum Downloaden
Farbdisplay ist ein wenig ein Knackpunkt. Ich habe einen kindle colorsoft. Das geht zwar schon, aber es ist halt sehr matt und nicht so viele Farben zur Auswahl. Über Calibre kann man relativ gut Bücher als sideload hochladen. Notizen sind aber nicht ideal. Mich reizt dafür der neue kindle scribe co

Kindle vs Kobo
A Kindle is easier for uploading personal documents (both pdfs, epubs and a handful of other formats) because you can use send to kindle which is wireless and you can just use the 'share' function from a phone or use the website to upload the file. It will also sync across devices. With a Kobo, you
