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

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.

Not sure how to make the most of the X4
I have a Kobo Clara BW and a X4. I just read separate books on them so i don't need to sync them. Basically Kobo is now my bedtime reader and X4 is my EDC reader. If you are using crosspoint (i think everyone should, at least a fork of it) it's epub compatibility is great for me so far so you do won

Kindle Basic (2024) or Kobo Clara BW? Which one has a better screen?
Kobo Clara is the much nicer device imo, with the benefit of also avoiding Amazons aggressive anti-consumerism

What's the best simple book focused e-reader (not Kindle)
If you're dead set on not going with a Kindle, it's the Kobo Clara BW. No buttons, but the premium you pay to get them isn't worth it imo.

What is the absolute best budget e-reader by tier? Looking for the "cheapest you'd actually recommend"
Not sure why people rave about the Xteink X4. It's an interesting enthusiast's device, but it doesn't even have a frontlight. I wouldn't recommend it as Baby's First E-Reader. Clara BW is a really great choice for the price. You can get a GlowLight 4 used for a really great price, but you have to tw

To those who haven't bought a light for their Xteink device
If you are serious enough in reading, i’d suggest investing in a kobo clara B&W for night reading and the x4 during the day anywhere. Nothing beats a frontlight of ereaders as it is not distracting even if someone sleeps with you in bed
