Wow, I didn’t see any issue with my KLC’s color screen even when comparing it to my Kindle Paperwhite. I much prefer the KLC’s ergonomics to a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition and from what I’ve seen from the Clara it’s close to the same. I’m shocked so many people are complaining about how “grai

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.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition! I read like 200 books a year and this thing is invaluable to me!

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

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

I have the Clara 2e and it's far more crisp than my Paperwhite 11th Gen This is both side by side with the brightness set to 0 on each. The Clara 2e is 6 inch and the Paperwhite 11 Gen is 6.8 inches and significantly heavier. The Kindle actually has caused me to get arthritis flare ups where the Cla

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.

I used to have a voyage for over 5 years until I accidentally cracked the screen and upgraded to kindle paperwhite signature three years ago. At first, I also believed books in kindl

From someone from Germany: choose Kobo. I now used the Kindle Paperwhite signature edition, the Kobo Libra colour, and the equivalent of Tolino. Kobo all the way. The OS is just a dream, especially when coming from Amazon, and you really have all the customisation possibilities. It's also very easy
