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

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

The Kindle Paperwhite (and any Kindle really) is very solid and well built in comparison to the Kobo’s, and it’s a very straightfo

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!

Would add to this that you don’t actually need to buy a new e-reader to get out of the Amazon webstore ecosystem. You can buy your books from elsewhere and just use Send to Kindle to get them on to your existing device. No jailbreak needed. I use both an Oasis and a Palma, and use the Kindle app on

English isn’t my native language either and your post looked fine to me! 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

I've seen many cautionary tales and I have mine in a case with a screen protector and in padded sleeve inside my purse if I'm going somewhere. So far, so good, and I still think it's worth it not to be tied to the Kindle store. On the other hand, I remember dropping my eight year old Oasis about a d
