Kobo vs Kindle
I’m a pretty dedicated Kobo owner but it’s largely personal preference. The Paperwhite is a really good device and Amazon’s ecosystem is very easy to use. There’s a reason that Amazon is basically the default ereader for a lot of people. I switched to Kobo for two reasons. First, the form factor of

Cei care spuneti ca cititi digital, pe kindle si prin alte mediumuri - ce carti ati citit in 2025?
Detectez o oarecare nota de ironie in post-ul tau, si nu inteleg exact cauza. Eu sunt o cititoare avida si pur si simplu spatiul pe care il am la dispozitie pentru carti fizice este limitat. Alte persoane poate au deficiente de vedere sau dislexie iar un e-reader iti permite sa customizezi fontul, t

What’s your favorite e-Reader and why?
Kobo Libra Colour. The built in Overdrive and Google Drive are handy. The UI is awesome. The ergonomics are much better than my Kindles. I’ve mostly stopped using Kindles now ( I’ve had them all including 1st gen and Oasis)

The short version is, ereaders have made it difficult for me to read physical books anymore. I have been with kindle ever since 2011. I got the Kindle Touch in 2011. Then a Kindle Paperwhite 2nd gen in 2014. A Kindle Paperwhite 10th gen in 2019. Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen in 2023. I branched out fro

Advantages of reading on ereader instead of phone?
The eink screen is easier on the eyes and I find it more comfortable when reading for longer periods of time. Since it’s only for reading there’s no distractions, I’m not tempted to respond to notifications like am on my phone. I have the kobo libra colour and I’m very happy with it. It’s comfortabl

Cheap colored ereader
I could be wrong but I think there’s only 2 coloured ereaders available. Quite wrong, yes. :-) Kindle Colorsoft, Kobo Clara Colour, Kobo Libra Colour, PocketBook Verse Pro Colour, PocketBook Era Colour, PocketBook Inkpad 3 Colour, and a gazillion of Android eInk devices just to start with, from Boox

Kindles and DRM...take 2...a more visual version of yesterday's list...probably should have done it this way to start
My Kobo Libra Colour arrived yesterday, and by evening I had installed KOReader (no jb needed), set a one touch gesture in left bottom corner to activate night mode, and generally played with the plethora of settings. In "help" you can search for a setting keyword, and it will respond with the optio

What e-reader do you recommend?
I just got the Kobo Libra Colour and love it. I had the Clara B&W, which I thought was nice too. I prefer the size of the Libra, but to be honest, you'll be pleased with either.

Is Kobo Libra 2 that good as people say?
Libra 2 is indeed very good. It hits the sweet spot of good ergonomics and great screen. If you’re going to buy a Kobo, I think it’s probably the best all-around choice. The Libra Colour was a step backwards on screen clarity (which is obviously a big consideration!) and a lot of us wish wish Kobo s

Wanted to buy a reader that could use Libby app from NLB. Is Kobo ok? What else works for you?
iPad cheapest new is ~$500, weighs half a kilo and last around 10 reading from full charge. A kobo Libra Colour is ~$330, 200g and 40 hours of reading on a charge. Even the budget kobo Clara bw, ~$200, 175g, 30 hours of reading. As a ereader replacement an iPad is terrible value, costs 50% more for
