What causes less eye strain? Clara BW or Clara Colour?

Totally subjective. I have kindle oasis and kobo libra colour, and the libra colour is more comfortable to my eyes. Other people say that the colour screen gives them headaches. So, it depends on each person.

RIP Kindle Oasis - What's next?

There are a few Android eInk devices that are very similar to the 7’’ Oasis 2 and 3 in size and shape - Boox Go 7 for example, but there are others. They won’t have the battery life of good dedicated e-readers (Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook) but offer all sorts of flexibility. (And battery life isn’t as

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle?

I started with Kindle Oasis and switched to Kobo Libra Colour . For me I didn’t like being locked into the Kindle eco system and try to avoid supporting the Amazon monopoly. I don’t think any one company should have so much control over books, and I didn’t like the way Amazon was supporting authors

Decision fatigue

That assymetrical form factor is much more comfortable to use in the larger sizes. You have far more ways to grip it, and you don't have to scrunch up your fingers and get cramps to use it. The 6" is light enough it's not a problem. If you read infrequently or in shorter reading sessions, it's not a

Amazon is killing off perfectly functioning Kindles for no reason other than being old

I'm glad you don't have issues with it, mine refuses to read them at all or makes the text very small in the center of the screen, no matter what I choose in settings. Not sure what model it is because I received it as a gift, I think it's called oasis? I might be wrong. I haven't jailbroken it yet

Ask Me Anything About My E-Ink Tablet Collection

I've not looked at the latest generation of Kindles (I think they discontinued the Oasis). But out of the previous generation I preferred the Paperwhite (original, not SE). Although I do love clicky pageturn buttons, I found the oasis to be too slippy to hold comfortably because of the smooth metal

Whats the last story that kept you up waaaaay past your bedtime

Yes 100%. I started with a kindle, but if I had to do it over again, I'd get a Kobo. (Unless if you read a bunch of indie/trad pub novels, then get a kindle). Use Kobo with Calibre (software) to organize your books. I use a tagging system to identify tropes, ships, and whether they are in my TBR or

Best eReader for a migraine prone girly?

My eyes are a bit light sensitive and I have aura migraines occasionally. I have both the kindle oasis and the kobo libra colour, and I found the colour screen more comfortable to my eyes because it has a greyish background and not white like the b&w screen. Also, the texture of the colour filter ma

Ereader purchase

10th gen Paperwhite - during Covid so couldn't get physical books. I had a Kindle keyboard but it was still attached to my mom's Amazon account and didn't want to turn the wifi off to put it on mine. Oasis - this one was super unnecessary. I just wanted to test it out and see what the fuss was. 12th

Best e-reader with buttons?

I'm curious what you ended up doing for an ereader in the end? I'm the same age as you and I've been using my old Kindle keyboard since 2010! I love the buttons so much I just can't get used to a touchscreen. I've already replaced the battery once and it's draining quickly again so I'm trying to loo
