I’ve been using Kobo Libra 2 for more than a year now. It’s good for me as I mostly read books. It’s black and white and has adjustable (intensity and temperature) backlight. One thing I’d recomend – get a case as well. The screen is rather soft and scraches easily.
Other than that I can’t recomend much else since I haven’t had anything else. It’ll depend very much on your use case: do you need a collored screen, what do you intend to read, comics, PDFs, regular books.
Reading regular books screen size does not matter as much as for PDFs and comics. And for comics colored screen might be a better choise.
My general recomendation: an adjustable backlight is a must, both intensity and temperature, deside on a size and color requirements and start looking for something in your price range. Kobo and Onyx were the brands I looked at first, but there are others.
Thank you for your suggestion. I found an old Android tablet. I used ForceDoze app using Shizuku (temp root) to prolong battery life for 3 days for using 3 hour daily. And using Moonreader + for my books with reading mode and put on a hazy screen protector. It works wonderfully now. Setup was a bit of hassle. But now it’s done.
Kobo is where its at, Amazon has locked down their ecosystem to prevent piracy. Which also made my paperwhite garbage. Unless you’re using Kindle Unlimited its not really worth going for kindle
I don’t understand this “Amazon has locked down” part. I easily send epub to my kindle through send to kindle or email, and the best part imo is whispersync that permits me to read among my iPhone and inkpalm 5.
Oh well if everything you do on your kindle is above board then I imagine it’s a great device. Having had my jailbroken kindle auto updated to the latest version without me noticing and with no way to revert it, it has left me rather salty about the device. It can still read epubs but it now only receives KFX files from Amazon which can’t be de-drm’d anymore.
Could you suggest me an e-reader?
