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

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.

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

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

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

Any help/reco on what I should buy?

If you want to annotate directly on the pages of books, then the Kobo Libra Color is pretty much the best device for that. Other readers will let you annotate, but not typically directly on the book, it'll be through like screenshots and pop up boxes. Directly writing on the pages of the book is why

Any help/reco on what I should buy?

Eink is an e-reader screen technology, so anything that has a display called Carta something (1200, 1300, hd) for bw or kaleido 1/2/3 for colour is e-ink. In the same vein, all modern e-reader allow font customization. Most basic solution would be a Kobo Libra colour for you. It has its own locked O

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
