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.

Worthy successor to an old Kindle Paperwhite?

I have all of your mentioned devices except the pocketbook. My favorite is the Boox. The page turn buttons are great on the 7” size.

Lifelong reader here, considering purchasing my first ereader at 32yo and would love some advice!

I own a Kindle Paperwhite. It’s been in airplane mode since an hour after I took it out of the box to register it. I side load over a USB cable using the free Calibre program. Calibre happily converts Epub ebooks to the proprietary Amazon azw3 format. I haven’t spent a dime with Amazon in years. Kin

My Kindle is the same shade as my table.

SERIOUSLY! I have a Paperwhite Signature, but I would immediately hand over my money if this came out in Matcha for the Paperwhite. I need this in that color with the matching cover Amazon, not a want, a NEED!
