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.
