Kindle Oasis

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 went from a Kindle Oasis and Paperwhite to a Kobo Libra Colour, and I love it. The color isn't anything amazing, but I really enjoy reading on it and it's big enough that I can read comics (though I do sometimes have to zoom in). i think the text on the Kobo Clara Colour would be too small for com

A couple of counterpoints... There have been studies that show better resolution does help with eye fatigue - up to a point. (That point is ~300 ppi, which is where pixelation is no longer visible to most eyes. Probably not coincidentally, B&W e-ink seems to have stabiliized at 300 ppi for the last

I got a Kindle Oasis off eBay and then get pdf's of books to read. It's upped my book-reading ten fold
