E-Reader for Perth Users

Kobo has overdrive support (Libby) and works with the WA libraries service :). I have a Kobo Clara Colour and I think it's great. It's $269 at JB. Just be aware that there can be longish wait times for renting an ebook if it's popular (they often only have a licence to rent out a few copies at a tim

TIL Kobo the ebook, audiobooks, and e-reader company started in Canada and its HQ is in Toronto

Kobo also isn't actively against it's reading demographic. I'm happy to spend so much money from the daily deals, bookbub, and use my Google rewards on books from the Google store. Bonus points for them allowing library rentals through the Libby app because everything I just mentioned is not possibl

Upload is really just copy and paste into the Clara. So far I haven't missed my Kindle once and can only recommend the

I'm pulling the triger tonight, which do you recommend?

Kobo clara bw. It might be more expensive than the kindle basic but it's waterproof and has warm light and the kindle basic doesn't have those. You might also wait a couple of days and see if it will get any discounts.

Please stop me from buying the viral pocket e-reader

So I had to look up what this was and can see why it’s tempting. But what’s the point in carrying it and your phone? You can read anything you want on the kindle or kobo or Libby apps already. If notifications bother you when reading on your phone, turn them off. And I say this as someone with kindl

I have a Kobo Libra Color after having a Kindle for many years, but I'd do your own research on which Kobo might be best for you. The Kobo Clara B+W is the m

My partner and I love our Kobo e-readers! She has an older Clara 2E and she just bought me a Clara Colour for my birthday. Apart from not wanting to buy from Amazon, these are much better devices in my opinion than Kindles!
