Unpopular Opinion about Switching from Kindle to Kobo

I prefer Kobo's UI, it's so much better than kindle's. I don't read kindle unlimited books. I mostly sideload and kobo works great with Calibre. My KLC is much faster than my oasis.

Kindle Paperwhite or Kobo Clara BW?

I see you decided on a Kindle Paperwhite, but I just upgraded from an Oasis 2 (battery lasted about 4 hours) to a Clara BW, so thought id add my thoughts as it might help someone in the future. I like to take my e-reader with me often, so pocketabaility was important, I also use wide margins to keep

Amazon is shooting it's self in the foot.

Ditched Amazon years ago because 1. What you're speaking on. 2. Hardware team just gave up after the Oasis 7" and have spent the past decade putting out nonsense with zero vision other than marketing while Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook keep iterating form and size and bezel considerations and 3. Other comp

Kindle Paperwhite or Kobo Clara BW?

Kobo's design has a sunken screen contrary to the Kindle. I have a first generation Clara and a Kindle Oasis 3. The plastic layers on the kindle's annoys the hell out of me. The image on the Kobo is top notch for me.

Amazon restocking the kindle oasis

I feel like it's old stock they found that they hadn't planned on selling because they didn't realise how popular it actually was (based on my other theory that Amazon doesn't invest in any meaningful form of customer focused input or social listening when it comes to business decisions about Kindle

Esse é o preço de um Kindle? Achei um pouco salgado

É bizarro como uma coisa que começou barato virou um troço caro pra cacete. E esses aí nem são os modelos com mais recursos. Comprei o meu Kindle Oasis, e já achei bastante caro na época, mas ele foi o preço desse Paperwhite. Imagina qnt custaria hoje.

RIP Kindle Oasis - What's next?

There are a few Android eInk devices that are very similar to the 7’’ Oasis 2 and 3 in size and shape - Boox Go 7 for example, but there are others. They won’t have the battery life of good dedicated e-readers (Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook) but offer all sorts of flexibility. (And battery life isn’t as

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I keep it on airplane mode all the time, which is what annoys me. I've also jailbroken it, following all steps to ensure no updates occur. It's a Kindle Oasis. Still, it reverted the process overnight despite no update being pushed. I had to factory reset it. Right now, I'm waiting for a brand new X

Can Books Bought On Amazon Be transferred to Kobo with Ease?

Might be part of reason Amazon phasing out support on older Kindles? If and when I can no longer use my Voyage and Oasis then I'll be a former Kindle customer.

Feeling conflicted switching to Kobo

It depends on each person's use case, so I'll explain why kobo works for ME better than kindle. Amazon discontinued the kindle oasis and I didn't want to get a device without buttons. Kindle doesn't support Canadian libraries, but kobo has overdrive integration. Kindle's UI is horrible, the home pag
