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.

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I can't stand Bezos anymore and I try to boycott Amazon whenever possible. I gave up my Kindle and bought a Kobo Clara and buy epub books from Kobo store or 3rd party ebook vendors. Upload is really just copy and paste into the Clara. So far I haven't missed my Kindle once and can only recommend the

TIL Kobo the ebook, audiobooks, and e-reader company started in Canada and its HQ is in Toronto

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!

Need an E-Reader but not break the bank

You’re Canadian? Kobo is in Toronto. Just a note. But more importantly, the devices are repairable and well built, plus the policies are pretty user-friendly. (Price matching, returns, downloadable for backup, etc.) I’d only avoid Kobo if you routinely switch between devices (phones/ereaders/tablets

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

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I’m seriously considering the Kobo Clara Color right now. I’ve always loved my Signature Edition but Amazon is pretty clear that they don’t care about readers.

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.

What Should I buy???

The Kobo Clara BW ($100) or Kobo Clara Color ($130) would be ideal for you and fulfill all these requirements. Kobo has native, built-in Libby integration, and you can also highlight a sentence, tap, add a note, and type your thoughts. Not with a stylus, but with an on-screen keyboard, a stylus will
