TIL Kobo the ebook, audiobooks, and e-reader company started in Canada and its HQ is in Toronto
Kobo also isn't actively against it's reading demographic. I'm happy to spend so much money from the daily deals, bookbub, and use my Google rewards on books from the Google store. Bonus points for them allowing library rentals through the Libby app because everything I just mentioned is not possibl

E-Reader for Perth Users
Kobo has overdrive support (Libby) and works with the WA libraries service :). I have a Kobo Clara Colour and I think it's great. It's $269 at JB. Just be aware that there can be longish wait times for renting an ebook if it's popular (they often only have a licence to rent out a few copies at a tim

I'm pulling the triger tonight, which do you recommend?
Kobo clara bw. It might be more expensive than the kindle basic but it's waterproof and has warm light and the kindle basic doesn't have those. You might also wait a couple of days and see if it will get any discounts.

My partner and I love our Kobo e-readers! She has an older Clara 2E and she just bought me a Clara Colour for my birthday. Apart from not wanting to buy from Amazon, these are much better devices in my opinion than Kindles!

Please stop me from buying the viral pocket e-reader
So I had to look up what this was and can see why it’s tempting. But what’s the point in carrying it and your phone? You can read anything you want on the kindle or kobo or Libby apps already. If notifications bother you when reading on your phone, turn them off. And I say this as someone with kindl

Kindle Basic (2024) or Kobo Clara BW? Which one has a better screen?
Kobo Clara is the much nicer device imo, with the benefit of also avoiding Amazons aggressive anti-consumerism

How to transition to an eReader
Highly recommend a Kobo of some kind. I transitioned to ereader only many years ago when I needed to have books take up less room in my house. I have a Kobo Libra Color after having a Kindle for many years, but I'd do your own research on which Kobo might be best for you. The Kobo Clara B+W is the m
