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.

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

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

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

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
