@Andi_Berlin

Auf jeden Fall solltest du jetzt schon nur noch #ebooks im #epub format (idealerweise ohne Kopierschutz) kaufen. Die kann man problemlos per #calibre in das #kindle freundliche #mobi Format umwandeln.

Dann bist du zumindest bei neuen Büchern auf der sicheren Seite.

Paper Books vs. e-books vs "librebooks?"

Just curious: can anyone who has used both kindle e-readers and the kindle store and kobo e-readers and the kobo/rakuten store compare them for me?

I'm thinking along these lines:

  • selection of books
  • price of books
  • evilness of the company ;)
  • physical properties/features of the e-readers themselves

Any ideas? @joel?
