Kindles are controlled by amazon and if you buy one you put yourself under their dominion.
Kobos also support microSD cards and more formats than just '.mobi' (.mobi is Amazon's DRM supporting format)

>>58372805
This. Kobos are unparalleled for sideloading.

just go to one of the larger goodwills they have them for $30

>more formats than just '.mobi'
who gives a shit if you can convert pretty much everything into Mobi?

>>58372847
Take a load of this corporate cuck.

Kobo Aura One is the best you can get right now
>>
>>58372876
Yeah, how dare I download free epub books, then convert them for free to .mobi and load them onto my paperwhite.

Why in the world would you even consider getting a Kindle then? It's good for nothing except reading books. Used to be that you can get free internet anywhere in the world with the old Kindle keyboard, but you can't do that anymore.

Get an iPad instead if you only occasionally read books.

My nook simple touch with glowlight just died, so I'm in the market for a new e-reader.
I have ~900 books with no DRM, all epubs, but I know I can convert easily with calibre. When I buy ebooks I immediately strip the DRM, so I'm not tied to any single retailer.
Should I get the nook glowlight plus, the Kobo aura, the Kobo aura one, or something else? I'm kind of leaning towards the aura one

>>58372777
Why? You could just get any tablet and you wouldn't be limited to Amazon's nonsense. Also I don't understand the appeal of a device that displays like an old calculator.
>>
>>58372892
What's the appeal of doing that? I bought a Galaxy Tab 4 for a bill and it has internet, supports all book formats, games, and get this, COLOR!
Do you work for Amazon or something? I know they give y'all stock but does that really justify shilling for an inferior product?

Yes. 164 vs 300 ppi. It's a huge difference.

How's the Kobo Touch 2.0?

>>
>>58379902
Don't get ereader if you want to read manga. I have Kindle pw2 and its perfect to read books but everything image heavy makes it sluggish that it becomes impossible to keep reading. Also zooming option is even worse. I'd get any cheap 10" tablet (I'd go with android or dual boot If you're going to read manga mostly) if I were you.
