hi sorry but a bit biased, i won't go over the headache but you clearly didn't mention the big advantage of kobo , that it can support multi format etc you can easily drag and drop... kindle reminds me more of apple where everything is locked up for a smoother experience a bit like an automatic car but if you like to drive well it s not for you
There were so many details you glossed over. Kobo Plus is $7.99 while Kindle Unlimited is $11.99 (it used to be $9.99). Kobo's color models are half the resolution at 150 PPI, while the BW models are 300 PPI, the same as the Kindle. I know you said you only have the color models, so you couldn't tell if the BW models would be better for your eyes, but surely this doesn't prevent you from doing a quick Google search. I know the Kobo BW uses a Carta 1300, and I think the Kindle uses Carta 1200, but I'm not sure. They don't seem keen on advertising this detail. You also said that you feel the Kindle (basic) is better than the Kobo Clara BW, but you failed to mention that the Kobo has a warm light and water resistance and doesn't have ads by default. These might seem like minute details, but they can impact the buying decision for someone looking to purchase an e-reader.
Thank you, that's better than the review above. I'd rather not support one of the most abusive companies in the world today if I can help it. My family is sick of the ads and finds that confusing.
@@austinlee5408 actually, the main portion of the screen on the colour Kobo’s are 300 ppi. The only part of the image that populates at 150 ppi, is the colour overlay. This is how Kaleido colour screens operate, and it’s part of the reason that colour elements look a bit blocky on Kindle, Boox, and other Kaleido offerings.
I have always had a Kobo - bought the Kobo Touch in 2012 which is still working! I now had the Kobo Clara 2E and it is great. We bought my daughter a Kindle but it's very complicated compared to the Kobo especially if downloading books from other sources. I would definitely say Kobo is the best - great ecosystem and easy to navigate!
My preference is KOBO. I enjoy getting books from other sources and loading them into my Kobo, via Calibre/Dropbox. Both Kindle and Kobo offer great reading experiences (I have both). Kindle has two advantages over Kobo, whispersync and index. Kobo has color, (which I own) however I don't read with color, so color is simply nice.
I prefer the sideloading on kobo as well. I tried buying something on the kobo store and loading it on my kindle, and it was way more involved than buying on kindle and sending to kobo. Plus I’ve been seeing more Catholic books on Kobo which makes me happy ❤
I have the new Kobo BW (no colour) and it works perfectly. It is brilliantly clear and precise. I own Kindles as well, so trust me when I say this Kobo rocks!
Unfortunately, Kobo doesn't have a cloud for your own books like Amazon. I can send my ebooks that I bought elsewhere to Amazon cloud and read them on any Kindle or any device with Android or iOS. That is a deal breaker for me.
@ it’s plenty quick. I have the new Paperwhite and it is quicker. With a reading device however, quicker page turns aren’t a selling point. Nice to have but definitely not necessary IMHO.
To Canadians, Kindle is a complete non starter and a pathetic feature failure. Kobo allows for borrowing content from your local library, where Amazon has chosen to cripple the Canadian Kindle experience by not allowing Canadians to borrow using the Libby system. The second massive Kindle disappointment to Canadians is that audiobooks are not available. Even worse, Bluetooth is not even available in the main menu of the Kindle. To Canadians, Kindle is a massive, pathetic disappointment. But at least it can display print and words on the screen. It’s kinda’ like you bought a car that doesn’t have reverse, and the doors don’t open and you have to climb in and out the windows. Dylan, please make Kindles huge shortcomings clear on your reviews.
You can borrow library books on Kindle too, so I’m confused by this comment. Unless you mean that you can’t borrow from Canadian libraries specifically? Same for audiobooks.
in canada due to weird copyright laws and some other laws, we are not able to use apps like libby with kindle or any amazon products. libby app only works with kobo ereaders in canada @lewis9950
@@lewis9950You cannot directly borrow books from the library on Kindle. Not all ebooks through Libby are available for kindle. Libby transfers you to Amazon to borrow the book.
Thank you so much for mentioning the headaches. I have a migraine disorder which is easily triggered so that one thing sealed the deal that kindle is for me.
I really like using collections, to organise my books. I follow a few groups that tell you when kindle books can be purchased for free, so i get a lot and get overwhelmed. So i have a collection for what I'm currently reading, what im going to read next, what ive read and one for books that i always have downloaded (and of course the different genres)
It’s definitely the color - they have to put the color film on and it causes something people call “screen door effect.” It’s the only technology option for color e ink at this time. The kobo and kindle B&W devices use the same screen technology & won’t have that.
You failed to mention that the kindle basic is not waterproof/resistant while the kobo clara (base model) is. I guess that’s why the kindle basic is cheaper than than the clara.
Would love a more thorough overview of Kindle Unlimited vs Kobo Plus and their selections/value. I've seen a fair number of reviews of the hardware, but barely anyone touches on the service side of these devices at all. Personally, I've currently got a Kobo Libra H2O. At the time, I wanted buttons and it was a much cheaper buttoned device than the Kindle Oasis, which isn't even available anymore. But as I try to make more time for leisure reading again, I'm looking to be able to explore a selection with less pressure to pick the Right Books, and that has me really eyeing the subscription services. And it sure seems like KU has more going for it, but I'm not sure if it's got "have a second ereader with its own incompatible storefront" levels of more going for it.
Im not sure the headache thing is releated to ereaders. But you can try and increase brightness. Cause ive heard kobo color is a little dim compared to black and white. Could also be psychological or maybe see an optician. Sometimes our eyes get weaker or the axis changes
The display comment is just such an apples to oranges comparison that I am second hand embarrassed for you. There is no value comparing a color e-ink screen to a b&w as they are different technologies. The Kobo has an e-carta model as well and it's no worse than the kindle. If anything Kobo has the advantage of having color screens in their line-up.
Well, I'm going to find out the answer myself! I've ordered Kobo Libra Colour. To be honest, one of the biggest reasons for this purchase is not really the color screen but the page-turn buttons and the automatic screen rotation. Amazon discontinuing the Oasis was a huge, huge blow for me, and it pushed me towards considering other E-readers on the market. Kobo seemed like the best option considering my use case. Actually, I wanted to get a Kobo Libra 2?, not the color one, but it wasn't available anywhere I looked. Then, the Kobo Libra Colour wasn't that much more expensive in comparison, and I was curious enough to try the color ink screen, so I said why not? This doesn't mean that I'm going to switch completely from Kindle to Kobo; I still love my Kindle. Let's see how it goes.
I like both platforms. But using Kobo reading stats is easier to plan my reading sessions. I like it that the screen is considered one page according to the font size. This way I can plan my reading time in advance and accurately.
I have questions: 1. Do i need library id for either of those two ereader for to me read some free ebook? 2. Does kobo or kindle supports audiobook? 3. Which one allowed audio book? And which one allowed saving ebook or audiobook files? Sorry for too many questions im planning to buy just dont know which is which. Thank you!
Regarding the plastic used in the Kobo -- it's recycled. They make it a specific selling point: They source raw materials from recycled sources as much as possible.
I have chosen, and will always choose, Kobo over Kindle. The freedom of not being tied to the Amazon ecosystem is reason enough to avoid a Kindle. While syncing and having all your books on your Amazon account can be convenient, it completely prevents you from buying, accessing, or borrowing books from other available libraries or repositories. And the audacity of Amazon to charge you more to remove ads? Embarrassing.
People really need to stop twisting this around. You pay less, if you agree to the ads. If you compare the adfree version of the kindle it's still priced competitively against other manufacturers and this is an option to get an extra discount (not that I think it's worth it).
I haven’t personally experienced eyestrain or headaches with my Libra Colour, but I’m guessing it was probably the lower contrast because of the Kaleido screen’s colour layer. I rarely use the front light on my Paperwhite, but always have it on at a low level with the Kobo. Like you, I love the UI, and the low-key approach to advertising.
Thank you for your video. I am Canadian so for me getting a Kobo was really a no brainer because it works with our library systems. The kindle does not. Also I like that I can buy books from anywhere and they can be read on my Kobo so as a person who reads books in more that one language this was a plus for me. I don’t have to be tied to a specific ecosystem. To your point about headaches.

@@ValentinaSagunova the dictionary on both are about the same but you are going to laugh I often just use an actual dictionary only because it gives me a more in depth meaning of the word especially if it’s in a language other than English.
I have both a kobo libra color and a kindle paperwhite. Like you said the kobo version of kindle unlimited isn’t as great but I’m trying not out and I’ve seen books I’ve been interested in reading so maybe I’ll keep it. I wish you could add more books on overdrive on the kobo but such is life. I do love that if there happens to be a book that I can’t transfer to my kindle it’ll show up on my kobo so that’s great.
I wonder how many authors are going to move from kindle unlimited to Kobo plus 🤔 I still prefer KU options though but I'm hoping more authors migrate and make their books more available to a larger audience rather than the exclusivity of KU.
Not only does the Kindle have somewhat confusing ad pitches, even on models that were supposed to be ad-free, the Kindle app on my computer sends me ads through the laptop's notification system.
You only have to disable it most likely through the app. I’ve never had that happen and have the app on my phone and laptop and have two kindle ereaders.
im really thinking about that libra color tbh, I've had like 3 different kindles currently using the latest paperwhite but im really considering the color libra

My kids have listened to audible on their paperwhites. Its not their preferred way to listen. But when they lost access to phones, they found a way to do it.
A very poorly researched review--one that does both yourself and your viewership a disservice. The most appropriate thing to have done would have been to compare B&W readers, not color vs B&W. It is very well known--and was widely known at the time of your review--that the color readers were darker and had worse battery life than their B&W models.
I feel like I'm going to be 83 by the time i can borrow books on my Kobo from my Library. My city is recovering from a cyber attack and they're currently building everything from the bottom up again. It's been 4 months and it will take a very long time to recover. Everyone please borrow from your library so i can live vicariously through you all I'm thoroughly bummed out.
have you tired finding another library in you area that uses libby? I personally use two libraries in my area on libby bc somtime the book I want to read will not be available at one but available at the other !
Many people seem to be using the reader while swimming 🤡 1. Everyone who is older than 10 is able to avoid the splashing into water. 2. IF this unlikely Szenario happens, its just 99 bucks... so come on, stop lying to yourself. The 10 year old kindles had a better readability than the shit with light nowadays. So if new, i would go for kindle basic model, which has the best, crisp display. Turn the light off and read. The one light is good for emergency reading in the dark, - so what?!
It's not a 1:1, but you can convert Kindle format to Kobo-friendly format (usually epub) and sideload the converted book onto your Kobo. Not a quick process, but fairly simple. The Calibre program can also make it super quick (doing both the conversion and the sideload).
😂 “I’d rather not have Libby integrated into my kindle the way overdrive is on Kobo, It’s much better to use”. Is there anything preventing you from using overdrive/Libby the same way on Kobo? It’s integrated to the device, but you could theoretically use the app and sync it if you prefer?
