Kobo vs Kindle

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

Honestly, I’m frustrated with where e-ink is going

I guess eInk devices have to find an area where they are actually better for everyone. Kindles did that. They are better than books in some regard: you can carry around many books and it is light and doesn't need much space you can increase the font size so you can read without glasses if you are a

What’s your favorite e-Reader and why?

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)

Scribe too much for everyday

I own an Oasis and Kindle Basic. I’ve held my friend PW before but never used it. The only way he can bring out is if he brings a bag along to carry it. Doesn’t fit in any of his pants pockets. I’m a guy and my Basic fits the front and back pockets of all of my pants and the breast pockets of all of

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

Making the switch from Kobo 💔

I have a Kindle Oasis I've had as my only ereader for maybe seven years (I've had others). Built like a brick squat house but without a cover it's really hard to hold on to (unbalanced, metal back is awkward, cold and slippery), and with a cover it's weirdly heavy. Also, Amazon. Whatever you think,

Bigme B7 Color - Excellent way to cut down social media use and spend your free time

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

Reading with case cover open or folded back?

My kindle Oasis case has an elastic handstrap inside the cover, so I fold it over and slip my right hand through the strap. I can reach the page buttons with my thumb.
