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

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

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

She got the tism

Ooh! I just started reading a murder mystery series on Kindle, I love books. I took the dive and got a new Kindle Colorsoft to motivate me to actually read again. Nothing makes me happier than just sitting next to the beach reading a good book.

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.

So after playing with both Kindle and Kobo for a few days, I gotta say — the hate for Kindle and the hype around Kobo are both kinda overblown

Don’t forget the KLC has Google Drive, Dropbox, and Instapaper built in. My deciding factor of my KLC vs Colorsoft is ergonomics: the KLC is just much easier to hold, has buttons, is significantly lighter and can easily be flipped from right/left hand hold. I read for hours a day and there is no com

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
