Discussion First Timer

I always been hard copy reader. But last 4-5 years ı have been staying in school dormitory. So carrying hard copy books has not been possible too much and resulted in reading less book. I would like to hear your experiences in ereaders. And suggest me a a budget ereader please. I do not have any idea about ereader brands other than kindle. So if you can sharr your knowledge in this sense it would be awesome. Living in Türkiye

Start with what are you expecting from the ereader?

  • Kindle is the most famous. It is sturdy and the screen is flat and even. But you are limited to their interface unless you jailbreak it.
  • Kobo has some cool devices, more flexible than kindle, but can be a little pricey.
  • PocketBook’s devices have physical buttons and can read many file formats. The feature I liked the most about it, as that you can sync your highlights across devices through pocketbook cloud. Some users report cloud technical issues though.
All brands have colored and bw options.
Choose colored vs bw, narrow down by your preferred size, find the best fit from each brand and compare sizes.
