![]() ![]() The Kobo Elipsa is the first ebook reader I've used where I can read PDFs without zooming, which is a game changer for me. Unfortunately I've never actually seen a Kindle DX in the wild and they're rare as rocking horse poo on ebay here in the UK. I can't say for sure how they compare but the DX was what I was originally looking for. Amazon offers nothing I want that Kobo doesn't have.ĭifferent people have different usecases but I don't think I'll go back to a Kindle now I've switched. Installing Koreader, Plato or anything else is simple even if it's not required for everyday use. ![]() They're also priced similarly if you match specs and available for same day delivery from Argos in the UK.įinally, I know I could hack my last Kindle but Kobo make that really easy out of the box. The other stuff you mentioned, like Kindle having a large purchasable library, is also true for Kobo right from the homescreen. In theory I could also use the pen and take written notes on my Elipsa too but it's not a feature I was looking for. (Dropbox does support email though if you do want that). Overdrive support so I can borrow books from my local library for free.įree Dropbox syncing without having to email everything when I buy a book from someone that isn't Amazon e.g PragProg, Packt, etc. There's also Pocket support for reading offline web articles. IMHO that makes the Kindle only really useful for fiction. Like a screen big enough to comfortably read PDFs. Kobo had distinct features I wanted that no Kindle offered at the time I last purchased. ![]()
