Testing Kobo Libra Colour vs Kindle Color – Which one should I keep?

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

Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Libra Colour — which would you keep? 😭

I think only bullet point 2 matters here the most. Don’t let people gaslight you that the Kaleido 3 is an OK screen when it clearly bothers you. It is an amazing screen for those who don’t notice the screendoor effect, but if your eyes are sensitive, it just makes it unusable. I have a Kindle Oasis

Did anyone buy the new kindle scribe? I’d love to hear thoughts on what you like better on each

I actually did and received mine yesterday, and the Scribe is going back to Amazon today. Background: I owned a RM2 for a few years, fell in love with the device and bought the RMPP on day 1. I've been less enamored with RMPP as there are a lot more little things that annoy me about it, but still us

Kindle pw 12th is superfast, vs KLC

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

So after playing with both Kindle and Kobo for a few days, I gotta say — the hate for Kindle and the hype around Kobo are both kinda overblown

Don’t forget the KLC has Google Drive, Dropbox, and Instapaper built in. My deciding factor of my KLC vs Colorsoft is ergonomics: the KLC is just much easier to hold, has buttons, is significantly lighter and can easily be flipped from right/left hand hold. I read for hours a day and there is no com

I bought myself a kobo libra colour but I feel like I should have gotten a kindle.

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

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle?

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

Switching from kindle

I switched from Kindle Paperwhite to Kobo Libra Colour about a year ago. It’s honestly maybe my favorite device ever. It’s made me want to read much more than I ever have. I can’t tell you how much “better” the KLC is compared to the ColorSoft since I’ve never used the latter, but I can say that the

New to Ereaders- Recommendations??

Ive been pretty fixated on the KLC, I just think its so cool you can annotate directy on books and highlight in color, but I am trying to really consider how i will interact with ebooks on a regular basis. I am a bit worried about the battery life and screen quality/natural brightness and ability to

What e-reader do you recommend?

The Kobo is nice but the Libra Color screen is bad compared to any BW screen or the Kindle Colorsoft screen. Go with a BW if you do not need color. Pocketbook has nice HW. Kobo HW feels cheap but the software on Kobo is much better. I always come back to Kindle though, it is , for me, the best exper
