Bitter Sweet

Amazon's real market advantage is the near monopoly they have on content. They lock a lot of authors into exclusive agreements. KOReader will breath new life into your kindle. It has no store, which I see as a plus because I don't get suggestions, etc. Everything is sideloaded using Calibre. I repla

Just got my first Kobo - kind of regretting it after years with Kindle

I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and will try to answer some of your questions. You can change the screen zones from the settings, I can't remember what the default was but I have the whole middle part for the menus not just the bottom of the screen, and you can drag from the top to

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

What ereaders are good?

I have had numerous e-readers over the years but currently have a Kobo Libra Colour and it's my favorite so far. The integration with libby is fantastic.

Any advice for one-handed e-reader?

Just about any of them. My 7inch Kobo Libra Colour is perfectly usable with one hand. Any of the six inch e-readers would be even better. The question of which one to choose will be easier to answer if you know where you are planning on getting the books you are going to read on it.

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 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

I sold my Kobo Libra Color and got the Kobo Clara BW. I couldn't be more happier.

I'm convinced the Libra Colour is selling like it is because a lot of people hadn't used an e-reader before it. Plenty who have used b/w e-readers like yourself come to that same conclusion, that the inferior actual reading experience (KLC on right KL2 on left) isn't in any way worth seeing the book
