Unpopular Opinion about Switching from Kindle to Kobo

I prefer Kobo's UI, it's so much better than kindle's. I don't read kindle unlimited books. I mostly sideload and kobo works great with Calibre. My KLC is much faster than my oasis.

Wish I had tried this sooner

I wish they made kindle paperwhite with a left or right side holder like the oasis. The bottom only hold makes it sometimes hard to read my kindle on my side while in bed.

Gameboy on Kindle E-Waste

I have an OG kindle 3g. I love the buttons but no backlight. I have the Oasis now that has buttons but it’s an aluminum frame which is hella cold to hold onto half the time.

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I keep it on airplane mode all the time, which is what annoys me. I've also jailbroken it, following all steps to ensure no updates occur. It's a Kindle Oasis. Still, it reverted the process overnight despite no update being pushed. I had to factory reset it. Right now, I'm waiting for a brand new X

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

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,

Amazon is killing off perfectly functioning Kindles for no reason other than being old

I'm glad you don't have issues with it, mine refuses to read them at all or makes the text very small in the center of the screen, no matter what I choose in settings. Not sure what model it is because I received it as a gift, I think it's called oasis? I might be wrong. I haven't jailbroken it yet

Ask Me Anything About My E-Ink Tablet Collection

I have a Kindle Oasis too and would be interested in OP’s opinion. I’m not a huge fan of it. I find it slower than I’d like in the menus and the sorting of books is kind of messy. I wonder if OP has thoughts on if the best model for speed and UI navigation.

Did getting an e reader help you read more/faster?

I hadn’t read since I was a teen until I learned e-readers have dyslexic font and dark mode which helps reduce visual disturbances for me! I use a medium-large font and quite large line spacing so help stop me jumping about the page. It’s been absolutely revolutionary for me. I originally got a Kind
