Help me find a new ereader! Can you recommend one?
I've have had a #Kobo Forma for five years - its the perfect #ereader.
Why I love it?
1) 8.0” display, 1440 × 1920 resolution
2) Works flawlessly with linux #Calibre - easily manage my books. Never connect to wifi as there is no need.
3) Can invert display to white txt/black background; at night my wife can sleep. I DO NOT want a color display.
4) battery life is incredible.
What is something similar I can buy today?
@david_kehm came to recommend my Kobo Libra 2 which still feels quite new and seems very similar to the forma, but it seems to have been discontinued already. It has a warmth setting to the backlight which was a selling point for me.
The Sage looks like the newer version but is sold out? Are Kobo just plugging the more expensive colour/notebook models now? I've had one on the go for about 15 years now so will be sad if they're going downhill!
"Are Kobo just plugging the more expensive colour/notebook models now?"
I assume so. The Sage looks perfect, but they just don't sell them anymore.
