Kobo vs Kindle
I’m a pretty dedicated Kobo owner but it’s largely personal preference. The Paperwhite is a really good device and Amazon’s ecosystem is very easy to use. There’s a reason that Amazon is basically the default ereader for a lot of people. I switched to Kobo for two reasons. First, the form factor of

New Kindle Feature Uses AI to Answer Questions About Books—And Authors Can't Opt Out
If you want page turn buttons, I just (2 days ago!) switched from Kindle to Kobo (Libra Colour). I’m loving it so far, especially the page turn buttons (and the fact the power button isn’t on the bottom where I accidentally turn off my kindle when I rest it against something). I also love that it do

New Kindle Feature Uses AI to Answer Questions About Books—And Authors Can't Opt Out
I vouch for Kobo. I love my Kobo Libra Colour. And Calibre is pretty easy. I was able to download my entire Amazon library and convert them to a format for my Kobo. I think Amazon has stopped allowing you to download your library now, though. Oh also Kobo has integration with Libby/Overdrive. Makes

i’m so glad i switched to kobo
My kobo libra color arrives Friday and I’m very excited. I’m increasingly frustrated with Bezos, Amazon and how Kindle is ran as a company

Any eReaders That Sideload Only?
Turn wifi off? I have the kobo libra colour and I mainly sideload with Calibre. Sometimes I use it to read books from the library but as I mostly borrow audiobooks I don't use that that much on kobo. I've never bought anything from the kobo store.

E-reader for fanfics
I have a Kobo Libra Colour and found downloading fanfiction from ao3 in Epub and putting it on there very easy to do - download and transfer to Kobo folder on laptop when it's linked. I tried to do the same with my friend's Kindle and the whole process was a lot more complicated.

Cei care spuneti ca cititi digital, pe kindle si prin alte mediumuri - ce carti ati citit in 2025?
Detectez o oarecare nota de ironie in post-ul tau, si nu inteleg exact cauza. Eu sunt o cititoare avida si pur si simplu spatiul pe care il am la dispozitie pentru carti fizice este limitat. Alte persoane poate au deficiente de vedere sau dislexie iar un e-reader iti permite sa customizezi fontul, t

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

I sold my Kobo Libra Color and got the Kobo Clara BW. I couldn't be more happier.
I'm convinced the Libra Colour is selling like it is because a lot of people hadn't used an e-reader before it. Plenty who have used b/w e-readers like yourself come to that same conclusion, that the inferior actual reading experience (KLC on right KL2 on left) isn't in any way worth seeing the book

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
