Why are B/W button devices dying out?

People are really sleeping on the Nook. I don’t use one personally, but I rooted a teal Nook Glowlight 4 (late 2025 model) for my husband. I installed KOReader on it for epubs and Libby for library books. The BW screen is perfectly crisp and the device is super fast. Crisper and faster than my Kobo

Are really phone sized ereaders worth it? Can people use it daily and finish books in a regular basis?

i have read so many books on my smaller ereaders (former palma owner, own both the Xteink X4 and X3, as well as an Obook5). so long as you're okay with reading on the smaller screen, it's great to have something that's always in your pocket / bag / purse / on you in some way. Especially with the X4

Please deinfluence me! Boox Palma 2

I have a Kobo Libra 2 and a Boox Palma 2. Pangit user interface ni Palma, and mas mabilis maubos yung battery. Cute siya tingnan and very handy... kaso i dont think it's worth the price. Bought mine sa shopee for 18.3k.... and hindi ko nasulit siya kasi I still prefer my Kobo over it. I kinda regret

Why I didn't like the Kobo Libra Colour (and am returning it)

I completely agree with these points. That send to kindle feature is part of the reason I stay as someone who primarily side loads. I have 3 kindles (which I prefer in sync) and a Clara colour. I could never fully switch to kobo. Too much manual moving around and I’m not trying to plug anything into

Tablet for Graphic Novels

A kobo libra! Large screen full color e reader with direct access to Libby. Getting more than one card on is finicky, I haven’t been able to do it yet but I also haven’t tried particularly hard, there are instructions to do so on the kobo sub. The colors are a bit muted, more like newspaper print th

How many of you have gotten a backup device?

I'd wait, wouldn't want another device without a backlight, also touch would be nice to have and a less fragile screen. Tbh I only bought the x4 because of the price, crosspoint/hackability and because kobo clara colour doesn't have a flat screen.

should I get an e-reader? even though my shelves are not filled to the brim with books? (rant, kind of.)

You can have 0 physical books and still be able to purchase an ereader. An ereader is just a tool for reading and there is no requirement that says you need to have a massive personal collection of physical books in order to own an ereader. Personally, I think the ereader makes me reead more than ph

Kobo Libra Colour screen brightness comparison - KIV if you can't stand low contrast!

After hemming and hawing whether to opt for a Kobo Clara Colour or BW, I went with the BW. The reason? Less contrast and sharpness on the colour display. I have difficulty understanding the appeal of eInk colour displays unless one's a devotee of manga, graphic novels, and comic books. Or the abilit

Is anyone actually using an SD card?

I wish I had an SD card on my Kobo Clara Colour. It's 16gb, sure, but I also read manga, which takes up a lot of space compared to standard text based novels. I could store it on the SD card, and have the internal storage be dedicated to novels.

What kind of features should I look out for?

Buying a first e reader is exciting. Things I ask myself and think about would be - Size - do you want one that more portable. Or would you rather a slightly bigger screen which maybe better for comics main reason you want an e reader- are you wanting to use it to read books only. Or also for magazi
