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

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).

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

2025 kindle scribe colorsoft vs 2024 remarkable paper pro, I want a device for note-taking, reading colored comics and reading eBooks mostly textbooks in .pdf files. Which device should I get?
i've used both for pdf textbooks. the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft handles comics better because amazon's color screen has more saturation. but for pdf navigation and note-taking, the reMarkable Paper Pro is way faster at zooming and annotating. kindle software is sluggish with large pdfs. if your textbo

New to Ereaders- Recommendations??
Ive been pretty fixated on the KLC, I just think its so cool you can annotate directy on books and highlight in color, but I am trying to really consider how i will interact with ebooks on a regular basis. I am a bit worried about the battery life and screen quality/natural brightness and ability to

Is the basic Kindle worth buying as a first e-reader in 2026?
I bought the Basic 11th on October and it's the best thing I've ever bought on my entire life. It's also my first e-reader and let me tell you this: if you want to take it with you wherever you go, and actually want to just read and don't even bother with everything else, just buy this version. It's
