Best ebook thread?

I prefer real books, but I also need an ebook because I'm going to be traveling and I don't have much space. I might buy a paperwhite.

I have an Aura One and a paperwhite that is a few years old. I definitely prefer the kobo but you're not much worse off with the kindle. If you're just gonna sideload books with calibre there's not much difference.

i bought my wife a kindle voyage for mother's day and was surprised at how much i like e-reading. i got myself an aura one before father's day (so my wife wouldn't get me a kindle) and am waiting for it to arrive. i'm a big guy, so the size of the thing shouldn't deter me.

mostly, i'm excited and think i made the right call, but i'm worried about:
>having a laggy touch input
>not being able to translate phrases in-text

are these legitimate fears? how can you get it to translate phrases? could you list pros and cons?

any troubles with kobo?

I don't know about translations but I'd bet koreader can do it.

There's just a lot of tweaking I had to do. I'm very happy with it now though. I hate the stock kobo firmware but koreader is great.
