I spend so much money on books and they gather dust once I'm done with them as i don't want to throw them away. Kindle paperwhite with libgen came as a blessing. With sideloading, i got my money's worth for 7 good years. Now that I'm into comic books as well, contemplating a kobo libra color. .

eReaders for fanfiction
I have never seen an ereader than can't be used for fanfiction. I had a kindle paperwhite for years but last year I bought a kobo. I like the kobo better but that more has to do with me not liking Amazon than the reader itself. I've had a LOT of fanfics loaded on both my kindle and my kobo. I use Ca

Why no one talks about Kindle in India?
Buying books on Kindle has become expensive imo. When I bought Kindle back in 2016, they allowed any Epubs downloaded from internet to be copied on the device. But, since 2022-23, they stopped allowing that. Now, you have to upload your legally purchased Epubs to their store and download it from the

My Amazon TV now unmutes itself during Prime Video commercial breaks
I download the book and upload it to my Kindle over USB with Calibre. The download option is a little hidden, for obvious reasons, but if you poke around on your order page you can find it. My Kindle has never left airplane mode and never known an internet connection and it's going to stay that way.

Alternatives to Kindle
Kobo or basically any other brand works just fine even kindle if u are sideloading,for example I have a Paperwhite 10 gen that is blacklisted (I'm poor and I bought it at a flea market and did not known it was that way) and I sideload everything on it 💁🏻♂️

KOBO VS KINDLE
I’ve had multiple Kindles, a Pocketbook Era, and just recently bought a Kobo Clara BW. The Clara is far and away the best one I’ve had. It is the fastest and most responsive. It would be my recommendation if you plan on side loading books and managing your library with Calibre. If you just want to b

Какво устройство ползвате за четене- Киндъл или обикновен таблет?
kindle paperwhite 10th generation Малко е капризно откъм тип файлове, но с calibre се оправям. Имам го от бая време и не е мръднало, не съм гледал алтернативи, защото съм нямал нужда.

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry
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

Failure to remove drm and all books are KFX ZIP
Coloursoft is too new. Won't work. And no guarantees an exploit will be found anytime soon. Any devices running firmware 5.18.5 and newer don't work so far. That includes 11th gen and 12th gen and Scribe and Coloursoft. Getting an older kindle is rough. As of May 20th, the oldest models that have wo
