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 love my Kobo Libra Colour!

    I have only good things to say about it.

    • great screen size
    • love the colour for covers when it’s on standby, and for if you read anything with images
    • battery life is good
    • holds a ton books
    • works great with loading your own books from any source
    • the device follows right to repair guidelines so you can fix any broken part without having to buy a new device

    That last point really puts it above and beyond any other e-reader out there!
