alt Hacker NewsThe site causes cancer but the conclusion of TFA is sensible: just get a Kobo and be done with it. I had a Kindle for years but there's no reason to stick to Amazon for e-readers anymore.

I really want to like the Kobo. I really do. But I've had such bad luck with their devices. For example, sometimes the pages randomly start turning, really fast, so I completely lose my place. It also never reliably syncs between devices. And the integration with Overdrive is unreliable, only working some of the time. I also read it in the bath sometimes, which supposedly is one of the features available due to the water resistance, but the steam causes random clicks on the device, which makes it not really functional.
For me, I've mostly switched to reading on my phone. Dark mode, plus OLED, works very well for my needs.
However I'm inclined to ignore anyone who pushes their argument as "I'm doing X and you should too". Tell the good and bad things but don't tell me what to do
Kobo + Libby + Calibre has been my loadout for a decade. Works great!
