I’ve been getting back into reading and while nothing will beat a physical book, having a device with multiple EPUBS seems like a good way to save space and money. After a bit of searching, I’m down to two options: Kobo (specifically the Libra Colour) and Boox (specifically the Go Color 7). I’ve discarded tablets because they’re just a larger phone and thus blue light-induced eye strain. I’ve also discarded the Kindle because of Amazon’s business practices. I known that Kindles can jailbroken (which I wouldn’t mind doing) and I could buy one second-hand on eBay but I prefer to give my money towards a better competitor.

Which one do you think is better? Have you used their previous e-readers? How do they compare?

Thanks in advance!

    I don’t know if this matters to you but I just saw on Bookshop’s website that their ebooks will be available on Kobo sometime in 2026. This is great for me because they have really great ebook sales and I really dislike reading without eink. I wouldn’t buy a kindle like you said but also wouldn’t throw one out (I do actually own an old one and heck no, I’ll continue to read what I already own).
