What ereaders are good?

Another vote for kobo. You can send to Kindle but the kobo has libby integration and it's just so much easier. I have both a kindle paperwhite and a kobo Clara color. The kobo has become my default libby reader.

What is the absolute best budget e-reader by tier? Looking for the "cheapest you'd actually recommend"

Not sure why people rave about the Xteink X4. It's an interesting enthusiast's device, but it doesn't even have a frontlight. I wouldn't recommend it as Baby's First E-Reader. Clara BW is a really great choice for the price. You can get a GlowLight 4 used for a really great price, but you have to tw

Kindle Basic (2024) or Kobo Clara BW? Which one has a better screen?

I own the kindle basic and paperwhite signature edition. I’d probably go kobo Clara bw for the size and warm light if I had to do it all again. I side load my books so I don’t really care about the ecosystem and UI doesn’t really matter to me since I just need it to display text at the end of the da

Pocket size e-reader

Women pockets tend to be smaller. I personally wouldn't put my kindle paperwhite in my backpocket. Even the kindle basic and the kobo clara bw are a bit too big to put in pockets, again as a women. If op is looking for ereaders at the 6 inch range, I would also add the boox go 6 in here and the boox

Compensa pegar um Kindle Paperwhite nessa Book Friday ou é melhor esperar?

De todas críticas possíveis ao Kindle, falta de bateria definitivamente não é uma delas. Desde que a versão basica tem iluminação acho difícil justificar o paperwhite pra quem tá na dúvida em comprar ou não.

Return to textbooks?

I, mean, arguably you can make way more annotations on an e-reader. And if you know the location you can bookmark it and flip between the bookmark. It's harder for you because you're used to books, but once you get used to the format it's not really harder. I've been using digital textbooks (pdf) fo

Kindle

Ya se. Tengo Kindle Paperwhite que compre hace 2 años, bastante nuevo. Pero me gustaría un lector electrónico que reciba bien los libros que le mando por calibre, con TODOS los metadatos. El tema es que no se si vos le metes libros por Calibre, si no el caso, la pregunta es en vano

Guys, be real with me: do I need to go back to the Kindle App?

But does that mean that I have to load my library into their built-in library? Because my issue is to be able to sing across devices and that is just one single universal cloud for all my books. Because at this point I have backups of my library everywhere and it's kind of annoying to have to keep u
