Bitter Sweet
Amazon's real market advantage is the near monopoly they have on content. They lock a lot of authors into exclusive agreements. KOReader will breath new life into your kindle. It has no store, which I see as a plus because I don't get suggestions, etc. Everything is sideloaded using Calibre. I repla

Just got my first Kobo - kind of regretting it after years with Kindle
I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and will try to answer some of your questions. You can change the screen zones from the settings, I can't remember what the default was but I have the whole middle part for the menus not just the bottom of the screen, and you can drag from the top to

Anyone else using color e-reader only to read novels? Just because you wanna see the cover in color?

Blogsnark Reads! November 30-December 6
I’m super excited because I am getting a Kobo libra colour for Christmas - technically my husband’s present to me that I already know about haha. I’ve wanted one forever because of the color, the buttons, and the library integration being way better than kindle. can’t wait! I also found the anti-bra

Why are B/W button devices dying out?
Boox Go7 B&W is a really super device. Maybe nobody wants to compete? 😁 All Pocketbook (except Verse Lite) have buttons. Verse, Verse Pro, Inkpad 4, Era. On paper the Kobo Libra Colour, The Boox Go7 Colour, and the colour PocketBooks do black & white as well as a dedicated B&W reader (300ppi) so it'

Unpopular: love the Kobo Clara Colour (100% recommend)
While that opinion may be unpopular on reddit, it doesn't reflect reality. The color Kobos are extremely popular among us that don't give a fig about what people on social media think. I'd be willing to bet the sales numbers Kobo has been getting from them are bigger than with their previous black a

Leaving Kindle, advice for new e-reader
Why ask ChatGPT about it? It can’t tell you anything your own research won’t conclude. AI complaint aside, I personally have a Kobo Libra Colour and I love it. I picked it because it has buttons, a good amount of storage, and a good size screen. I use it for manga and ebooks. It’s easy to sideload c

Companion eReader?
I really like my Kobo Libra Color. If you only read books and don’t care about color then the Kobo Clara BW is fantastic.

Kobo: Wich one to choose
This would depend on a number of things but looking your options some of the questions you need to ask are: - do I prefer a 6" or 7" - do I prefer a B/W or colour screen - do I care about physical buttons - where will I get my books from - do I want to have multiple reading apps on one device So if

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry
I went from a Kindle Oasis and Paperwhite to a Kobo Libra Colour, and I love it. The color isn't anything amazing, but I really enjoy reading on it and it's big enough that I can read comics (though I do sometimes have to zoom in). i think the text on the Kobo Clara Colour would be too small for com
