Example: mine is a Nook Glowlight 3. I had read the works of Erich Maria Remarque and more.
I’ve got a Kobo Libra2.
Pretty happy with the build quality and screen. Less happy with the walled garden approach that Kobo seem to be operating.
That’ll probably be something I take into account when I come to get my next model.
Csn you upload epub with Calibre?
With my Clara HD, I can upload with calibre but what I do more often is to convert epub to kobo specific one Kepubify. The reader can read regular epub but you don’t have book progression, meta data etc the same as with the kepub.
Then put the result on a local web server (even possible on android if you’re on the go). I then use the built-in kobo web browser (in beta menu) to browse and download the book.
Kobo Clara HD. Pretty old now (I bought it in 2018), but it still got updates. I’m very satisfied with it (well I’ve not tested any other). Perhaps the only drawback if I had to change would be to have some kind of physical button to turn pages, but with the configuration options that it have it’s really not necessary.
I have Kobo Forma. Got a refurbished one pretty cheap. Amazing for both books and manga, one of the best purchases I’ve ever made honestly. Used to have Kobo Glo but the screen was too small for manga, otherwise a very nice compact book reader.
I’m using an ancient Nexus tablet with the Android app “MoonReader” (one of the only apps I have paid for); I would prefer a different setup, to use a FOSS app or not use a tablet, but most physical ereaders seem to have issues with PDFs, no?
I would want something I can just load files on (no walled garden); I currently use syncthing to transfer books to my tablet.
