Big shout out to my man Jeff. I've been meaning to look into other e-readers for ages. Now, as the owner and regular user of an OG Kindle Paperwhite, I've been given the push I need!

Fediverse, what e-readers are you rocking? I'm in the market for a new one.

Love the size of the Paperwhite, and while I will not shop at the Kindle store again, the ability to read my old (Amazon) ebooks would be nice (but not dealbreaking).

Amazon Pulls Support for Perfectly Fine Older Kindles

In an email to customers, Amazon announced that it would be ending service for Kindle devices older than the 2012 edition. Those devices will lose access to the Kindle Store.

Nachdem mein Pocketbook Verse leider schon das zweite Mal einem Displaybruch erlegen ist, werd ich wahrscheinlich mal den Anbieter wechseln.

Amazon fällt aus Gründen raus.

Auch ein größeres Display evtl. mit Farbe wäre toll, vor allem für PDFs wie PnP-Regelwerke. Onleihe ist auch wichtig. Gibt es da Empfehlungen?

Ich tendire zum Tolino Vision Color oder Kobo Libra Color, was anscheindend dieselbe Hardware hat, oder was rechtfertigt den generell höheren Preis von Kobos?

EDIT: Gerne boosten

EDIT 2: was mich auch beim Pocketbook gestört hat, ist die sehr langsame Reaktionszeit, weiß aber nicht ob andere das besser können
