Is there a reason outside of being Amazon that Kindles are disliked in this sub (US specific)?
I’ve had three Kindles over the years and the Oasis that I got in 2017 is still my primary device, so I’m certainly not anti-Kindle. Would I get another one though once my Oasis dies? Nope. Reasons are many - not a fan of Amazon’s practices; my Oasis has excellent hardware but I don’t like the book

Feeling conflicted switching to Kobo
It depends on each person's use case, so I'll explain why kobo works for ME better than kindle. Amazon discontinued the kindle oasis and I didn't want to get a device without buttons. Kindle doesn't support Canadian libraries, but kobo has overdrive integration. Kindle's UI is horrible, the home pag

Is the Kindle still the king of e-readers?
I also heard Kindle gives you ads - is that true? Amazon serves it as offering an ad-supported Kindle for a cheaper price - if you’re OK with getting lockscreen ads, you pay less to buy the Kindle. If you don’t want ads, you can buy a slightly (around 20 € or 20 $) more expensive version upfront and

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

What book made you finally buy an e-reader?
i just thought the e-ink technology was super interesting and i got a second-hand Kindle 2 in 2009. i eventually decided i prefer physical books whenever possible and now the Kindle Oasis 3 is used only for out-of-print, free and hard to find texts.

Kobo Clara BW vs Kindle Paperwhite.Which is better for offline/sideloaded reading?
I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and I prefer the kobo. Kobo's UI is better, and I mainly sideload with Calibre and it works better with kobo, there's so many options I can use and I send my files already organised the way I want them. For kindle, it's better to sideload using "send

I miss physical buttons
I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and I love it, no regrets. That said, colour e-ink is a bit hit or miss, some people love it, some people hate it. I like the colour screen more and find it to be more comfortable to my eyes precisely because the background is greyish and textured, s

Please help me decide and answer a few questions?
I have the Boox Go Color 7 Gen 2 so I can answer a few of the questions. The Go 7 came out at the same time so it's the black/white version of the go color 7 gen 2. Both can use a usi 2.0 stylus. Both have Android 13. The battery life isn't as good as a dedicated ereader only (think Kindle), but bet

Considering XTEINK 4 but i have a kindle already. Any pointers yall can give on why i should get? PROs&CONs?
I have a Kindle Oasis, and now I have an X4. I'm used to side-loading books on my devices, so the X4 is just perfect because it depends on me adding my own epubs to it. Not to mention, it's ultra portable, easy to use, and way cheaper than other similar e-ink readers. I got it because I was tired of

Who knows?
There's loads of information out there on most e-readers. I kind of narrowed down my selection to a Pocketbook Era, Kobo Libra, and Boox Go7 color according to how I spend most of my reading time. Ended up ordering a Pocketbook yesterday because I don't want to get locked into another ecosystem, whi
