What’s your favorite e-Reader and why?

Kobo Libra Colour. I don’t personally want an Android based e-reader since I prefer my reading be distraction free, so I’ve always been partial to a dedicated device. I love annotating and highlighting books in different colours with the stylus, the physical buttons and the streamlined interface. It

Switch to Kobo

hiiiii. im a Kobo devotee but it's mostly because out of the US, only Kobo has overdrive/Libby access. I would go with whichever device allows me to use my library in my country, personally. you can use a pen/stylus with the Libra colour to annotate directly into your books which is a big temptation

ReMarkable is in trouble and future doesn't look bright

A Kobo Libra Colour with a stylus cost less than 300€ and is amazing as a notepad. No subscription needed.

Kindle to Kobo?

I switched from Kindle to kobo and prefer kobo. It has a better UI, no ads anywhere, and overdrive integration. I downloaded all my kindle books before Amazon got rid of the download feature, so they were easy to de-drm with Calibre. I'd advise that, even if you stay with kindle, you download and ba

Recommendations for reader/writer.

1/ the perfect e-ink tablet does not exist and you should definitively not indulge in this search because you will spend a lot of money chasing an illusion 2/ e-ink is always a question of making compromises If you want Gcalendar sync you will need an Android based device. Are you ready for that ? I

Help me to find an ereader that is good to take notes

Kobo Libra Colour + Kobo stylus 2 Or replace the stylus with the Metapen M2 from Amazon, almost the same but less expensive. This is a much better option than any Kindle because Amazon platform is extrememy closed now. Its note taking software designed by Myscript is excellent. It is a color e-ink d

Kobo v kindle

Have both. Kobo libra color dominates my time. Great proportions, great UI and the fact that I have a writing device at hand also is a bonus. Kindles are also good, don’t get me wrong, but I like to be part of a more niche e-reader community. There are heaps of YouTube videos of people flipping over

Whats an expensive purchase you keep repurchasing even though it hurts your wallet 🫠💰?

I mainly got a Kobo because it's very open source supportive so you can just download epubs online and transfer them to the Kobo, imo it also has a smoother interface compared to the Kindle my friend owns (he got it in 2023 from the US, idk which edition sorry). There's also zero ads and zero chance

böyle bir yer varmış çok mutlu oldum varlığına ben hem manga hemde kitap okuya bilceğim bir e reader istiyorum ögrenci dostu ikinci el alacağım nelere dikkat etmem gerekiyor bilgili abilerimiz ablalarımız yardımcı olabilir mi

Manga okumak için pdf lazım, kobo bu konuda daha başarılı, bunun haricinde modeller arasında telefonlarda olduğu gibi farklar yok bu yüzden direkt model marka önerilemiyor. Elbette teknoloji gelişiyor ve yeni modellerde daha iyi ürünler çıkarıyorlar ama insanlar ereaderlerini 20 yıl sorınsuz kullanı

What in your opinion is the best E-reader?

I have a Kobo Libra colour, Kobo Libra 2, Onyx Boox Colour Go 7, and Kindle paperwhite I read books from the library, buy directly from the author, or buy from the kobo store. My Kobo libra 2 has the best screen, but admittedly I don't use it as much as my Kobo Libra Colour (I love the color too muc
