im sorry i broke the codeDo you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why?
NoRamyunForYouI go through spurts of reading, and I had been putting off ebooks because I like to own the physical books and have them fill up a shelf etc.
I recently got a Kobo and it’s been amazing. Definitely been reading more, and as others have mentioned, it’s so great when travelling. I’ve got a little camera sling bag that I carry when travelling, and it just manages to fit in there so I can have a quick read when I’m waiting for something/got some down time etc.
I’ve never heard of kobo, just looked it up. So it’s a kindle paper white competitor essentially?
Yeah, essentially.
Obviously made by different companies, Kindle - Amazon, Kobo - Rakuten (A Japanese multinational).
When I was doing my research on what to buy, I was weighing up between the Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Clara 2e.
I think most people say that the Kindle has a better selection of books available in their store (though I’ve only had one book I couldn’t find for the Kobo, but I solved that issue by purchasing it while in a different region), and the Kindle is Larger. The Kindle also has a top screen layer than makes it flush with the body.
In the end I went into a physical store to have a look at both of them, and went with the kobo, mainly due to how I preferred the smaller size.
The Libby functionality alone might be enough to get me onboard tbh
Yeah, though I haven’t used it yet, it’s good to know it’s right there when I want it.
