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

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I can't stand Bezos anymore and I try to boycott Amazon whenever possible. I gave up my Kindle and bought a Kobo Clara and buy epub books from Kobo store or 3rd party ebook vendors. Upload is really just copy and paste into the Clara. So far I haven't missed my Kindle once and can only recommend the

How to transition to an eReader

Highly recommend a Kobo of some kind. I transitioned to ereader only many years ago when I needed to have books take up less room in my house. 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!

Another vote for Kobo from me! I have a Kobo Clara Colour and it's excellent. Kobo devices link up to Libby whereas Kindles do not, which is why I made the switch. If you're open to reading on a phone/tablet too- there are other services aside from Libby such as Hoopla and BorrowBox, which give you

KOBO VS KINDLE

I’ve had multiple Kindles, a Pocketbook Era, and just recently bought a Kobo Clara BW. The Clara is far and away the best one I’ve had. It is the fastest and most responsive. It would be my recommendation if you plan on side loading books and managing your library with Calibre. If you just want to b

X4 owners, where you getting your books from?

I download my Kobo books and process them in Calibre with the DeDRM plugin. Kobo Clara is still my main ereader at home and at night, so the X4 just travels in my bag.

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I’m seriously considering the Kobo Clara Color right now. I’ve always loved my Signature Edition but Amazon is pretty clear that they don’t care about readers.
