    One great thing i found with kobos and nowhere else is the support for the kepub format instead of epub. This format recalculates the pages left when changing fontsize.
    It is a great feature that is (to my knowledge) only supported in the kepub format. Every epub file can be transformed to work as a kebub aswell, so its not even closed off.

    If you buy a book off KU, you do not own that book. Amazon is (almost certainly) deliberately obscure on this point. You are purchasing a subscription to access KU (currently $12.99USD), and when you go to "buy" a book, you are purchasing a subscription to that book. That book is not yours to do with what you will, including loaning it out. They've become VERY restrictive about the conditions under which you can loan out one of "your" books.
    I don't know anything about Kobo, or any of the other e-readers.

    That's being said, once you bought a book anywhere(or pirate) and have a file you can send I to both Kindle or Kobo(via PC/Mac or even email for Kindle). So I'd not recommend choosing device depending on the Stores which they represents, but use only hardware preferences (form, price, feeling, etc)

      Kindle files are DRM-protected, which are difficult to remove, even using Calibre. Conversely, Kobo supports EPUB, EPUB2, and EPUB3 (Note: Kobo Original and Kobo Wi Fi do not support EPUB3), as well as PDF, FlePub, and MOBI formats.

    You can transfer your Kindle books to the Kobo Libra with Calibre software. I am thinking of changing over to Kobo Libra. I am surprised Amaon does not have a color ereader like Kobo and Barbnes and Noble have.

    I think the smaller Clara version is a bit more portable and practical and I don’t really care about buttons (to me that’s outdated and I don’t have any idea why it’s considered a premium feature) but it sucks that there’s no white version on the Clara. They can never give us everything we want sadly.

      @ReadEve aww, thank you! 🥰 I probably wouldn't recommend the Libra Color if you read a lot of comics. The colors are quite muted/pastel, which I think looks really cute for highlighting and annotating, but definitely won't show the wide color range for images. Hope this helps!

    • @brooklynshae
      @brooklynshae  2 месяца назад

      You'll need to use an eBook converter, but I believe it is possible! You can convert Amazon's DRM book format to EPUB format on a computer and then transfer the files to your Kobo device using a USB cable.

      You don't own the books you buy on Amazon. You lease access to KU, and then you lease access to the books you "buy" from KU.

      e-readers are easier on the eyes (i suffer from headaches and migraines and looking at an lcd or oled screen vs an eink is drastically different), easier to read in more lighting situations, have longer battery life than tablets, and many people don't want added distractions so having a device solely dedicated to reading is helpful.

      It's better on Libra because it has less layers over the e-ink screen. It's sharper and has better contrast. It's the same for Clara 2E and Clara BW. They do have better contrast and sharper screens than Paperwhite.
