How long does it take you to read a book?
I read a kindle book every day, sometimes two if they are in the 350 page size. I’m 71 this week and retired, I read 4-6 hrs per day and my entire life since grade school I have always read at least an hr per day. Since retiring in 2016 I have read over 3000 kindle books. I love my Oasis!
People going back to physical books because of Amazon removing downloads?
Would add to this that you don’t actually need to buy a new e-reader to get out of the Amazon webstore ecosystem. You can buy your books from elsewhere and just use Send to Kindle to get them on to your existing device. No jailbreak needed. I use both an Oasis and a Palma, and use the Kindle app on ...
PSA: all Kindles Jailbreakable
I have been toying with getting a Kobo but my Oasis isn’t that old and I like my buttons. I don’t like the Amazon ecosystem and I pretty much exclusively side load all my books now. I have had my Kindle delete books off itself several times (assuming it’s Amazon’s doing). I think jailbreaking it wou...
LOVE my Kobo so much, glad I switched!
So, it's been over a month since I switched to KLC after 15 years on Kindle. I get it now, I got it immediately but now I can see why there is so much love for the KLC/Kobos. I switched just before the Amazon drama and just finished moving my books yesterday. I'm glad I got a head start though! I lo...
Kindle -> Kobo why?
I switched from Kindle (Voyage > Oasis > Paperwhite 11) to Kobo Libra Colour because Kindle doesn’t have a legitimate contender for a premium ereader anymore. My Kobo has buttons, highlights in color, and lets me annotate on the page (also in color) instead of kindle’s little note box, and I would h...
Just got my first Kobo - kind of regretting it after years with Kindle
I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and will try to answer some of your questions. You can change the screen zones from the settings, I can't remember what the default was but I have the whole middle part for the menus not just the bottom of the screen, and you can drag from the top to...
Opinion: Kobo should plan to release Libra BW as soon as possible
Kobo Libra 3 (aka Bw) would sell like hot cakes. It would not only take away worried Amazon kindle customers, but it will take the aging oasis customers looking for an oasis-like device who loves its form factor
Is Kobo better than Kindle?
Gonna just copy/past the novel I posted yesterday on a similar thread. I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Color about six months ago, because I accidentally dropped a tungsten box cutter, point first, onto my Oasis. I was heartbroken. It's the best thing that's happened to me in ages. Price ...
What is something that you wish would break or stop working but refuses to do so?
Go camping with it as I did. It will drown and you can buy a waterproof Kindle Oasis as I did.
So glad I picked the Kobo Clara Colour over the Libra Colour
The main perk of the Libra is the buttons. It makes one hand use much much nicer, which is the main reason I switched to it when my Kindle Oasis battery died and they stopped making them. I read a lot sitting outside tossing a ball for my very active dog so being able to flip pages one handed is so ...
