I’ve been getting back into reading and while nothing will beat a physical book, having a device with multiple EPUBS seems like a good way to save space and money. After a bit of searching, I’m down to two options: Kobo (specifically the Libra Colour) and Boox (specifically the Go Color 7). I’ve discarded tablets because they’re just a larger phone and thus blue light-induced eye strain. I’ve also discarded the Kindle because of Amazon’s business practices. I known that Kindles can jailbroken (which I wouldn’t mind doing) and I could buy one second-hand on eBay but I prefer to give my money towards a better competitor.

Which one do you think is better? Have you used their previous e-readers? How do they compare?

Thanks in advance!

    I’m wondering the same thing for when my kindle dies.

      If you haven’t already, take advantage of the fact that your Kindle still runs and use Calibre to remove the DRM from any purchased books from Amazon, it’s by far easier when you’ve got a physical device

        Thanks, that is good advice. I don’t get my books from Amazon.
