That’s the biggest reason I haven’t suggested anything but a Kindle to my wife. She goes through books like candy and the amount of time to find them and load them are far outweighed by an Unlimited subscription.
Comment on What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?

I have a Kobo. My wife has kindle. Kindle is better if you want kindle unlimited. Kobo is better for everything else as far as I’m concerned. Especially if you want to sideload your own books via calibre or just dropping them onto the device when plugged into your computer. My kobo hooks up directly with overdrive/libby for borrowing books from the library and does everything i need it to.
I don’t have a specific model to recommend though. Mine is nearing 8-10 years old and still working

I’ve discovered I can still load books on my aged Kindle Keyboard via email. When you register a Kindle you get an email address for that purpose. More fiddly that just dropping files in its Document folder, but it does work. (I’m so bloody annoyed at Amazon for that change to Kindles.)

Thanks. Looks like Kobo is winning so far. I hate Amazon so would never get a kindle.
