I’m a lover of physical books but I’m looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I’ve ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it’s usually poorly made. But I’m not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon’s ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

    I like Kobo it pretty much let’s you load anything you want manually I even did a mobi once by accident and was really surprised it worked.

      Been using Kobos for a decade and I’ll gladly admit they were utter shite to start with

      They’ve changed dramatically and are now twice the price and ten times the quality

      Plus not giving Gif Bozo money
