I have a Kobo Clara I’m super happy with. Way better than the buggy Kindle I had.
Comment on What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?

Without question the Kobo Libre Colour. I have owned multiple e-readers and the Kobo Libra H2O was my previous one. It was so much better than anything I had used before that I have probably told a hundred people and will be passionately buying Kobo from here forward. Good luck and read East of Eden if you haven’t even if it doesn’t sound like your thing. 👍

Thanks.
I had a feeling it would be the Kobo, I was a little taken aback by the price but I’ll likely take your advice and get one of these, when the time is right.
I also added the book to my reading list, an LLM said it’s like a modern retelling of Cane and Abel, which sounds interesting. It also said it’s the authors magnum opus, so really had to add it.
To be honest I wanted to get back into reading to read about the history of the Middle East, but with adhd reading is tough and the only time i remember being gripped was with The Millenium Trilogy by Steig Larsson so might find more thrillers to read to get back into it before hitting the hard history stuff.

FWIW I have the color and the non-color libra, and if you’re just interested in reading books where color isn’t a huge part of the experience I highly recommend the non-color version. The contrast ratio and legibility are simply far better.

Thanks this helps as I have no interest in colour as I never got into comics or anything so it’s a no brainier.

Yeah, I read a lot of comics, so the Kobo Libra Color has been amazing. But there’s no doubting that the color screen compromises on clarity and contrast.

FWIW, the price is largely due to patent issues; The company that owns the patent to produce e-ink screens has started exorbitantly jacking up prices for device makers. Ironically, e-ink used to be much cheaper, before that e-ink company started messing with the supply.

If you are in Germany, the Thalia Tolinos are rebranded Kobos.

I am not in Germany. I just joined this instance not knowing any better but never had an issue even when I see subs in German that I don’t understand.

Seconded.

I love my Kobo Clara. I’ve read more in the past few years of ownership than I did the 10 years before. Plus I have a calibre-web server that it syncs with so I don’t have to manually move things over.

I switched to Kavita. More modern and supports OPDS, so it connects to readers just like Caliber does. It was originally designed for comics, which is why it probably looks so good.

I’m currently running Komga and Komf (metadata) docker containers with the Komelia app on my devices.
I have used kavita in the past but found Komga more robust with its processing/organizing of my comic collection. Komga doesn’t do all that well with epub/PDF.
Have there been recent changes to Kavita to make it more eBook friendly? It was a while back when I tried. I’m open to switching servers. It’d be nice to have everything written processed in one place.
