Kindle Oasis

I’m a pretty dedicated Kobo owner but it’s largely personal preference. The Paperwhite is a really good device and Amazon’s ecosystem is very easy to use. There’s a reason that Amazon is basically the default ereader for a lot of people. I switched to Kobo for two reasons. First, the form factor of

Lots of reasons, really. Some people are simply tired of Amazon’s near-monopoly (they’ve worked hard to ensure many people don’t even realise other ereaders exist that aren’t Kindles), or they don’t like Amazon as a company. Some people have genuine issues with Send to Kindle - if you want/need to r

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

Kobo Libra Colour. The built in Overdrive and Google Drive are handy. The UI is awesome. The ergonomics are much better than my Kindles. I’ve mostly stopped using Kindles now ( I’ve had them all including 1st gen and Oasis)

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!

I agree though - for people who had or could only afford an older Kindle (20% off isn’t necessarily generous for people in countries where a Kindle costs a lot of money compared to their income, and in some countries it’s impos

Yo tampoco la entiendo Tengo dos Kobo que me encantan (al igual que mis Kindle), pero se me complica cargarles libros… por qué se complica si con calibre es tan fácil? Por eso. Porque tengo que llegar a mi casa, sentarme en el ordenador y enviarlos a los Kobo (uno por uno) para que se me puedan sinc

I just got a Boox (Go 7) and I'm loving it. I still have my Kindle Oasis and plan to keep it until it breaks, but I love the freedom of not being strapped to Amazon with the Boox. Much easier to sideload books, I can still read my Kindle books, and I can read comics on Firefox, or comic apps. That s

Ohhh this looks nice. I have the same goals as you and recently got a Boox Palma. I really like it and it has def got me off my phone more, but it’s not as pleasant to read on as my old Kindle Oasis. But Oasis has the Amazon lock-in, and also is still microUSB charging. I was thinking of selling bot
