Hi,
My Kindle won’t boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.
So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?
It should have color and background light and it shouldn’t be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.
And, since I don’t have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?
Kobo Libra 2 checking in. The ability to directly load epub files (and other formats) directly onto the drive and bypass the store is a game changer.
Not defending Amazon, but you can do this with Kindle too. I’ve had my kindles in airplane mode since I bought them (for me and my wife) and I’m adding books directly with Calibre anytime I want. You don’t need their whole “ecosystem”.
I also have a Libra 2 and it’s great! Nice size screen and very lightweight. Just to note as the OP asked for colour, the Libra 2 is B&W but they now do Libra and Clara colour versions :)
