Hi,

My Kindle won’t boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.

So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?

It should have color and background light and it shouldn’t be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.

And, since I don’t have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?

    I have an older kobo, the h20 Libra, some years old. I have my eye on a new version but I don’t replace things that aren’t broke. Let me tell you, that Libra will last me years to come still, amazing quality. I haven’t even mentioned the easy USB connect to add books, or the great Kobo store.

    My next one will definitely be a Kobo as well.

      I have a kobo from 2016 that still works alright. I kind of want to buy a newer model but it’s not broken yet so…

        Terrible, such sturdiness. I’m starting to fear this will be my last e-reader ever… :)
