I have a confession…..

I’ve been struggling with the Colorsoft. I find I have to adjust the warmth and brightness with a frequency that’s a nuisance. The battery also drains fast. I read for the whole day after Christmas (8ish hours) and it went from fully charged to dying. In comparison to the Paperwhite, which took like

To those who haven't bought a light for their Xteink device

If you are serious enough in reading, i’d suggest investing in a kobo clara B&W for night reading and the x4 during the day anywhere. Nothing beats a frontlight of ereaders as it is not distracting even if someone sleeps with you in bed

Leaving Kindle, advice for new e-reader

Why ask ChatGPT about it? It can’t tell you anything your own research won’t conclude. AI complaint aside, I personally have a Kobo Libra Colour and I love it. I picked it because it has buttons, a good amount of storage, and a good size screen. I use it for manga and ebooks. It’s easy to sideload c

XT V5.1.6 Is Live + Shipping Update + A Few Community Notes

Hey question. Xteink nano is ereader? Or just a display? I really love x4 and have already read 2500+ chapters of web novels in 3 months now. It has even replaced my kobo clara currently. So looking forward to nano. If it doesn't have the kaleido 3 dimming, definitely will try to get one.

Which would you choose and why - Kobo Clara colour, kobo Clara bw or kindle (cheapest) but with no ads?

Between those three, and without consideration for things such as “where will the books come from”, I’d pick the Clara BW. It seems a bit more “premium” than the basic Kindle, has warm light (I don’t personally care too much about warm light but on almost every picture I’ve seen of the recent basic

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

Overwhelmed by options, please help!

Kobo!! Kobo Clara BW for crisp screen, or Kobo Clara Colour for colour option. Both are the same just one is black/white and the other is the option if one wants colour. Good compact and portable size if that matters to you. I’d get this one if you’re going to be bringing it out of the house a lot.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

Absolutely this! I have joint pain and I couldn't hold books for long periods of time to read. I got a Kobo Clara and can finally enjoy reading again. It has massively improved my quality of life for about $100 on black Friday sale.

Getting my GF a Kindle for Christmas

Colour is the only difference between the Clara Color and Clara BW. Libra only has a colour version and has a pencil for notes, dropbox/cloud stuff, buttons to turn pages. A lot of people in the kobo sub frigging hate the colour versions. It's basically an extra layer over the black and white screen
