![]() Overdrive/library access/goodreads integration depends on where you are based on (I've none of them, so I care 0 abt that. Kobo allows customization and adds-on without the need to jailbreak your device. Kobo has a much better integration with Calibre, if you use Calibre as your main library. Kindle has SendToKindle, Kobo has dropbox integration (it can be added for Libra 2, too, even if it's not officially supported). Personally, more than the hardware itself, I would ask myself which feature do you need/like more. Of course, if you strip the DRM, the point is moot and you can convert from/to whatever format you want (point of attention: it seems the new releases on Amazon can't be freed anymore without owning a Kindle device) You can convert epub to kindle-accepted formats or use sendtokindle epub files but that works if they are DRM-free. Amazon allows you to read DRM-protected ebooks only if you buy from their store. Kobo allows you to buy and read from any store that sells EPUB (with/without DRM) and PDF (with/without PDF), comic and so on. I've read for ages without them (my first ereader had them, but it wasn't touch), but nowadays I couldn't do without them because I find them absolutely awesome when I'm reading on one side. Kobo on the other hand have buttons, screen is a slightly larger and supporting more formats.īuttons are something very personal. Kobo allows you to pick among more options (every page, every x page, etc).Īnd yeah, Kobo allows you to customize much more your reading experience (that out-of-the box, without even going into how much easier is to patch and adds add-on on Kobo than on Kindle, or to install fonts, ie) With Kindle you have only one option: refresh every page or keep the default. You can change the standard behavior for both. By default, Kindle does refresh the page more often (every 4 pages), while Kobo does every chapter. And ghosting is something typical of any e-ink device: both have them. ![]() Generally speaking, it's true that Kobo's db seems to be more prone to corruption than Kindle's: it's an easier fix: log out your account, log in again, but people may find it annoying.īoth ereaders use screens coming from the same factory. But since it's also much easier to build upon it, it may become more buggy if you don't take care of what you are doing. I find Kobo's UI much better thought all around, more logicial, designed with reading in mind and not for trying to sell you stuff. No ghosting and visible previous pages on screen. Mostly interested from technical perspective, I like on kindle it have a better processor and its UI is less laggy, more fluid. I had firmly embraced Kobo as my best choice for format flexibility and for the crisper screen which is important to me, but the hardware unreliability has me wanting an ereader that just works without tinkering and troubleshooting so I’m thinking of limping back to the PW5. user experience within an actual ebook is fine and I prefer the fonts and layouts to Kindle - user experience in the menus, store etc are sluggish though. Still slightly too large to want to take with you, battery life has been all over the map and changes week to week for me - this week it rapidly drained and I had to update it and sign out, etc. Like the comfortable form factor but don’t really use the buttons (they’re loud and mushy) screen contrast is much better because it has a recessed screen, better warm lighting, access to libraries (Canada) is helpful if you don’t mind waiting. I read a lot on this but didn’t like being committed to buying all my books from Amazon and libraries in Canada don’t support Kindle. Integration with good reads is nice, easy to use the store to find titles. Good build quality, snappy interface, responsive with great battery life.
