What’s your favorite e-Reader and why?

Kobo Libra Colour. I don’t personally want an Android based e-reader since I prefer my reading be distraction free, so I’ve always been partial to a dedicated device. I love annotating and highlighting books in different colours with the stylus, the physical buttons and the streamlined interface. It

Switch to Kobo

hiiiii. im a Kobo devotee but it's mostly because out of the US, only Kobo has overdrive/Libby access. I would go with whichever device allows me to use my library in my country, personally. you can use a pen/stylus with the Libra colour to annotate directly into your books which is a big temptation

ReMarkable is in trouble and future doesn't look bright

A Kobo Libra Colour with a stylus cost less than 300€ and is amazing as a notepad. No subscription needed.

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

Help me to find an ereader that is good to take notes

Kobo Libra Colour + Kobo stylus 2 Or replace the stylus with the Metapen M2 from Amazon, almost the same but less expensive. This is a much better option than any Kindle because Amazon platform is extrememy closed now. Its note taking software designed by Myscript is excellent. It is a color e-ink d

Whats an expensive purchase you keep repurchasing even though it hurts your wallet 🫠💰?

I mainly got a Kobo because it's very open source supportive so you can just download epubs online and transfer them to the Kobo, imo it also has a smoother interface compared to the Kindle my friend owns (he got it in 2023 from the US, idk which edition sorry). There's also zero ads and zero chance

Kobo v kindle

Have both. Kobo libra color dominates my time. Great proportions, great UI and the fact that I have a writing device at hand also is a bonus. Kindles are also good, don’t get me wrong, but I like to be part of a more niche e-reader community. There are heaps of YouTube videos of people flipping over

Boox team listen up - here's why USI 2.0 is dreadful

I got enough shit in my life I have to charge. I don't wanna charge another pen. It's not a solution for me. My kobo libra colour has a pen that I have to charge. Given I rarely use it ok. But when I do need to charge it, it's an inconvenience. I don't wanna think about that. I have the Boox Note Ai

New Kindle ScribeColorsoft 2025

As far as the colors are concerned on the screen, Amazon is portraying them to be more vibrant (like an LED or LCD screen) than they actually will be on the device. It's very deceptive, but such is the company... The tech used is kaleido 3, this tech is a bit different than gallery 3 (used on the pa
