First book on the 3ds

Don't buy a Kindle. Don't buy an old Kindle especially. Kindle 4s are about to be blocked from accessing the Kindle store entirely in a few days. You won't be able to register it either. You can get eInk readers with physical buttons from companies not named Amazon that are new, and still supported.

My 13 year old wants an e-reader, help.

Get her a Kobo, it's repairable so if it breaks you don't need to buy a whole new one. Screen savers can be customised easily. I have a Kobo Libra Colour and it's super straight forward, just has the forward and back physical buttons when reading and is touch screen otherwise.

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 Libra Colour is cheaper than the kindle colorsoft and it has buttons which are absent i

Kobo Libra Colour died - Kindle Paperwhite Signature or Basic as a replacement?

Have you thought about replacing the battery? This may be the cause for the boot loop while plugged in. If you’re set on leaving Kobo to go to the Kindle, I would go with the Paper White only for the waterproof feature. I came from the Paper White to the Libra Color and still use the Paper White at

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

To those of you who have 2 e-readers, why do you keep both and what do you use each one for?

I have an ancient kindle paperwhite from 2016 ("it's been eighty-four years...") that is beat to shit but still works perfectly. The battery life is still great and I have a huge library on it. I jailbroke it last year and haven since been using KoReader as the primary software and managing my libra

Amazon dropping some Kimdle Support

I have purchased 5 kobos for our family of 4, since 2015. Highly recommend. Started with an Aura in 2015 and preferred it to the Kindle I had owned prior to that. 2018 we expanded and added a Clara (not sure why...likely a feature I wanted like touch screen), and it is still going strong after my us

Kubo or Kindle?

I traded my kindle PW for a Kobo Libra Color last year and will never own another Kindle. I also tried a Boox reader when deciding and returned it and kept the Kobo Libra Color. Absolutely love everything about my Kobo. Amazon is so anti competitor that they have become anti consumer with their erea

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

Ereader recommendations!

I made the switch from the Kindle paperwhite to the Kobo Libra Colour and it's been fantastic. I didn't realize until I switched how many ads are shoved on the US kindle home screens vs the Kobo's. On the Kobo, I feel like I'm looking at an electronic bookshelf, with encouragement to use the Libby a
