What ereaders are good?

I have had numerous e-readers over the years but currently have a Kobo Libra Colour and it's my favorite so far. The integration with libby is fantastic.

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

My 13 year old wants an e-reader, help.

Get her a Kobo, it's repairable so if it breaks you don't need to buy a whole new one. Screen savers can be customised easily. I have a Kobo Libra Colour and it's super straight forward, just has the forward and back physical buttons when reading and is touch screen otherwise.

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

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
