I went from a kindle paperwhite to the KLC and I love the Kobo ecosystem so much more. It feels so much more personalized to me vs kindles basic ecosystem. The only thing kindle has going for them is the amount of books available in the Amazon store and KU. I’m hoping that now that Kobo is becoming

5 is fixable, 8 is fixable via side load, 10 is also fixable but just seems inconvenient for you, 11 might not be a you issue. seems you might be too invested in the kindle ecosystem. can i ask why you didn’t just get a colorsoft?

I can’t edit the post. I bought these in 2012 from Pottermore when they were sold DRM free. They were side loaded (or rather “send to kindle”) on to my colorsoft. I don’t buy books from Amazon, but I do love their devices. I get my books from other vendors and just transfer them to the device. The f

Agreed with all this. Kindle user, have a Scribe. Switched to KLC last year and haven't looked back. Love being out of the Amazon ebook system.

I had the opposite. I bought a tablet thinking that it would be better and that I could get more from it than just an e-reader a couple of years ago and ended up never using it and instead using my phone to read, which had it's own problems. Or just the traditional books... The tablet was one of the

Libraries connected to city/state networks offer more ebooks than smaller libraries without connections. The library card for rural libraries in my county gives me access to about 10,000 ebooks. I used my work address to get a city library card connected to a large university, and it gives me access

The point is the devices are FINE nothing wrong with them they just want them to upgrade. IMO i justice got a colorsoft last year first kindle or ereader ever. Been using the app. Wish I knew about the other devices and the issues kindle give before I got mine or I might have gone the other way Edit

I don’t like being sold to in everything I do, I don’t like having ads bombard me in something as personal as my books. Even though I paid to have ads removed on my old kindle, the home page is still 99% dedicated to trying to get me to buy books instead of reading what I already have. It’s so inper

I had a kindle, then wanted to get away from Amazon and got a kobo libra color. Unfortunately I read quite a lot from kindle unlimited, and the equivalent from kobo really sucks, so ultimately I went back to my kindle. I also liked the syncing between the kindle app and my devices. The kobo syncing

I'm a button snob. I had a Kindle Voyage for 10 years that has the button like press areas. Would have loved an Oasis, but they were too rich for me. I sideload all my books, and Amazon likes to remove sideloaded books from devices. I often would be halfway through a book to find it was gone when I
