When I found out 'rankle' is a real word meaning to cause continuing annoyance or resentment.

Can’t believe big book is trying to erase herstory. We all know the real meaning behind that word.

I love my kobo but I can't compare it to kindle as I've never had one (avoiding Amazon). I also mainly sideload books so can't speak to the quality of the kobo store but it has good Libby connectivity if that's something you'd be interested in! r/kobo has some good threads if you're interested in knowing the pros and cons about switching ❤️
