Barnes & Noble partners with Lenovo for Nook Reading Tablet 8.7
I like my Kobo Clara BW a lot. It's great. Obviously Kindles are probably the most popular choice.

Not sure how to make the most of the X4
I have a Kobo Clara BW and a X4. I just read separate books on them so i don't need to sync them. Basically Kobo is now my bedtime reader and X4 is my EDC reader. If you are using crosspoint (i think everyone should, at least a fork of it) it's epub compatibility is great for me so far so you do won

Need an E-Reader but not break the bank
You’re Canadian? Kobo is in Toronto. Just a note. But more importantly, the devices are repairable and well built, plus the policies are pretty user-friendly. (Price matching, returns, downloadable for backup, etc.) I’d only avoid Kobo if you routinely switch between devices (phones/ereaders/tablets

best non-kindle ereaders?
Kobo is your best bet! I have the Clara BW and the Libra Color. The Clara is very portable, I always take it out the house with me. The BW definitely has more contrast and is more clear compared to the color e-ink screen. I notice the difference but it's never bothered me or affected my reading expe

What Should I buy???
The Kobo Clara BW ($100) or Kobo Clara Color ($130) would be ideal for you and fulfill all these requirements. Kobo has native, built-in Libby integration, and you can also highlight a sentence, tap, add a note, and type your thoughts. Not with a stylus, but with an on-screen keyboard, a stylus will

Kobo v kindle
Which kobos or kindles are you looking at? Kobo clara bw isn't much expensive than the kindle basic and it's also waterproof and has warm light which the basic doesn't have, so you're getting extra features.

kobo clara bw or boox go 6 for ao3 fics?
Ao3 doesn't have an app. Any app you're using is unofficial, and may steal your login info or is illegally profiting off of AO3 through ads. Log out, delete it, and change your password asap. As for your question, it's dependent on how much you're willing to spend and if you have easy access to a co

Ereader for 8 year old - advice please
I think Kobo Clara BW is a good choice, as you can turn on sideload mode to disable the store and focus solely on reading. The price is also solid.

kindle vs. kobo.
Despite the price difference i personally thought it was worth going for the Kobo Clara - same size but it's waterproof (kindle basic isnt) and changing the lighting is easier (just swipe on the left hand side instead of having to go into menus). Plus, I may be able to repair the device myself if so
