I got the kobo bw. I spent a weekend downloading all 500some ebooks I’ve purchased off Amazon (which they do not make easy) to my laptop. Then I imported them into calibre, stripped all drm, and loaded them onto the kobo.
It’s great, I love it.

Thx! How can you describe you reading experience (especially outside) ? Is device durable?
Durable is an understatement, to be honest. I have the a Kobo Clara BW and it’s fully waterproof. As in, “shit, I dropped it in the ocean lemme run it under this tap to clean it” waterproof.
I’ve dropped it a good many times as well.
The Kobo Clara BW is hands down the best ebook reader I’ve owned, and definitely better than the ones I’ve encountered in the wild with my mates
