Unpopular Opinion about Switching from Kindle to Kobo

I prefer Kobo's UI, it's so much better than kindle's. I don't read kindle unlimited books. I mostly sideload and kobo works great with Calibre. My KLC is much faster than my oasis.

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.

Amazon is shooting it's self in the foot.

Ditched Amazon years ago because 1. What you're speaking on. 2. Hardware team just gave up after the Oasis 7" and have spent the past decade putting out nonsense with zero vision other than marketing while Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook keep iterating form and size and bezel considerations and 3. Other comp

Amazon restocking the kindle oasis

I feel like it's old stock they found that they hadn't planned on selling because they didn't realise how popular it actually was (based on my other theory that Amazon doesn't invest in any meaningful form of customer focused input or social listening when it comes to business decisions about Kindle

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I keep it on airplane mode all the time, which is what annoys me. I've also jailbroken it, following all steps to ensure no updates occur. It's a Kindle Oasis. Still, it reverted the process overnight despite no update being pushed. I had to factory reset it. Right now, I'm waiting for a brand new X

Esse é o preço de um Kindle? Achei um pouco salgado

É bizarro como uma coisa que começou barato virou um troço caro pra cacete. E esses aí nem são os modelos com mais recursos. Comprei o meu Kindle Oasis, e já achei bastante caro na época, mas ele foi o preço desse Paperwhite. Imagina qnt custaria hoje.

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle?

I have a Kobo Libra 2, bought about two and a half years ago, and was coming from a Kindle Oasis 3. I haven't actually switched... I still use the Kindle daily, as well as of course the Kobo. Using multiple devices seems to make it easier for me to juggle books. Maybe that's just me... because Kobo

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
