Is there a reason outside of being Amazon that Kindles are disliked in this sub (US specific)?

It's a few things: I really, really like page turn buttons. I understand having a touchscreen on these devices, but when the vast majority of your time is going forwards or backwards, in a book, why wouldn't you have buttons for that? So I have an immediate bend against devices that don't have them.

What e-reader are you rocking, and what do you like about it?

I upgraded last year to the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (12th generation), and I'm loving it so far. I previously had the Kindle Oasis (9th generation) that I used heavily from 2017-2025. While I miss the Oasis's buttons and slimmer form factor, the Paperwhite has three things that I'm findi

Kobo or kindle

Where do you plan to buy your ebooks from? Do you already own ebooks, and if so, where are they from? This is an important questions because if you're getting your ebooks from Kobo then a Kobo is best (although it can use ebooks from places like Google Play as well although it is harder to use Kindl

Would it be stupid to buy a kindle?

Why do you want to do this the hard way? If you get a kobo you don't need to jailbreak to install koreader, while kindle is making it harder especially with the newest generation, which is what you want by the way, 7" 32 gb is an 11th or 12th gen paperwhite signature.

Kindle Basic (2024) or Kobo Clara BW? Which one has a better screen?

I own the kindle basic and paperwhite signature edition. I’d probably go kobo Clara bw for the size and warm light if I had to do it all again. I side load my books so I don’t really care about the ecosystem and UI doesn’t really matter to me since I just need it to display text at the end of the da

Opinion: Kobo eReaders no longer make sense in 2025

Send to Kindle! This is so much better and more powerful than Kobo's Pocket integration. You can email content to your Kindle – very convenient for sending ePubs to your device I can't see how this is more convenient than... I dunno... natively reading EPUBs on your device. I only miss a couple thin

How many e-readers do you own?

I have several. Long story short I have a few for different reasons. I got a kindle keyboard back in the day in 2012 then my husband had me give it to his mom, because he thought I wouldn't read after having a baby which was wrong. Still upset about it. I got a Kindle Paperwhite 10th edition, and th
