Direct sunlight comparison - Kobo LC vs Kindle PW 2024

Kindle screen brightness Kobo screen texture (grainy) Kindle Battery life These are more consequences of Kaleido vs Carta e-ink screen, than Kindles vs Kobo (if you were comparing a Kindle Colorsoft vs Kobo Clara BW, you would have the same experience but switching the brand name). You can have bett

Kobo v kindle

I’ve been using Kindles for 14 years, but because of the size, I decided to switch from the PW (11th gen) to the Kobo Clara BW (size of the Basic, functions of the PW), BUT for the first time in my life, I’ve run into a problem: this is already my THIRD device with the same defectI don’t know what’s

Best eReader for a migraine prone girly?

As someone with very chronic migraines, tbh my Kindle Paperwhite 12th gen works better than my Kobo Clara BW, this is partly because the warm light is more subtle and less sharp orange, the display is much more crisp so my eyes have to strain less, and also in general because it’s bigger and I don’t

I own a Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen and bought a Kobo Clara BW (review)

honestly that ghosting sounds worse than typical kobo clara. i've owned two kobos and the ghosting is there but not that noticeable unless you're really looking. the lag during searches is normal though - kobos have slower processors than kindles. for the ghosting, try setting refresh to every chapt

Kindle Shop: Aus für alte Modelle, Amazon kappt den Support

Kindles sind hardwaremäßig meiner Erfahrung nach leider immer noch ziemlich alternativlos.Ich hatte erst ein Kindle Oasis, jetzt das neue Paperwhite und außerdem ein Kobo Clara BW mit dem neuesten Carta 1300 Display. Das Paperwhite kostet gleich viel, hat ein randloses Display, 7 Zoll und deutlich w

E-reader up to 150

I have both a Kindle Paperwhite and recently tried a Kobo Clara BW and a Libra Color. Both Kobos had dead pixels all over the display and their frontlight uniformity (especially the Clara BW) was atrocious. For the Clara, the bottom half of the screen was way brighter than the top half, because the

Kobo Clara BW or Kindle Basic 2024 has better screen, text?

I thought it was just me feeling this way. I had both and I felt like basic 2024 has way much pleasant screen to look at in terms of blacks, uniform front light and how sharp and crisp text can be. On top of that kindle basic 2024 is much more lightweight and by generally feels better in hand shapew

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

Email won’t work anymore, either, come May, as that’s part of the Amazon services. Literally only option will be buying ebooks from places that allow you to download the files, convert them using Calibre, and transfer them via USB cable. But that won’t work for borrowed library books, since you down

I own a Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen and bought a Kobo Clara BW (review)

I mean that's completely valid but my point is that the newest Kindle Paperwhite has extremely minimal ghosting? And I'm glad it doesn't bother you but it may bother someone else who might be deciding between the two, so I was offering a factual observation that my Kobo Clara BW has more ghosting th
