Should you buy an

[@nealsteplaws]

Great video! I've always been anti-ereader and love everything about physical books....but then I became a book addict and I buy and buy and buy and end up DNFing so many books. Storing and getting rid of all of these books is a big headache, since I have limited space. So I decided to buy a Kobo about a week ago and am waiting for it to come in the mail! It will let me try out ebooks without making the commitment of physically buying them (my library has a great selection of ebooks!), and will allow me to read at night without bugging my partner, which is a big hassle now having a reading light that I have to charge and attach awkwardly to my books while reading. I hope I love my Kobo as much as you do🤞

[@Emjcmt]

Thank you so much for sharing all of this ! I feel like I am reading my own journey in your words! I now have a wish list on Amazon full of books I want to have physically, because I know that I will live them / they are gorgeous, or I have read them on my kobo and want to own a physical copy. It is so much better to have the option to read and DNF as much as we want and only buy the books we love. I’m so happy you got a Kobo and I am so excited for you🥳🥳

[@rob.carrillo]

Have you tried checking out books from your local library

[@ToxicatedKnightmare]

Got to know a year later if it was worth it?

[@rescalisadork1405]

This was actually super helpful! I'm considering buying an ereader and I was torn between these two models exactly so now I know which one to buy! (Also I can totally relate to the small hands struggle haha!)

[@Emjcmt]

I am so glad I could help! ! Did you settle on kindle or on the kobo? Knowing you are a fellow tiny hand person, I have my idea… but I’d love to hear it 😄

I love my Kobo! It got me out of a huge reading slump, I thought I would never get back into reading

[@tamarasorbo1550]

This is the comment I needed lol

[@safbk5081]

Omg this is so inspiring I am also trying to get back into reading. OK definitely going to get me a kobo ❤

​@@tamarasorbo1550me too!!!!

[@hannersification]

@@safbk5081 you won't regret it! I'm about to upgrade from kobo clara to the new kobo libra colour this month. It's really made reading so much more convenient for me, especially on the go or while traveling. I don't have to think about how many books are reasonable to put in my luggage lol, and no more stressing about finding adequate light. I've been reading about 30-40 novels per year since getting it four years ago, which aren't some crazy numbers but it's more than enough for me. Best investment ever!

[@laurentiugiurgea8488]

I got a Kindle touch in November 2011, the very month it was released. It is my oldest device still in service! For me an eReader made the difference between reading and not reading. Yes, I don't know why, suddenly, I just stopped reading paper books. So for me, there is no way to return to the paper book. Great video, you pointed out basically all the pros and and cons. But you skipped a major pro: the search. Imagine you a reading Lev Tolstoi novel War and Peace, which has more than 450 characters. And you are in the third volume and you come across, let say Ana Pavlovna. You forgot who is she? You touch the name, "search the book", find let say 112 places with the name, the first one is where, usually, the writer introduces the character.

[@kweenjade01]

Most eReaders also have highlighting, note taking and dictionary now too. I'm not sure if she touched on these as I'm in the middle of the video. ❤ 5:50 annnd she does lol

[@shreyasatre]

I've had Kindle Paperwhite for a few years, and couple of years ago I bought Kobo Clara HD. I think it's time for me to upgrade the Kindle since mine doesn't have the colour temperature option. But I do like both devices!

[@Emjcmt]

Oh yeah I completely agree with you, it was a selling point for me as well! My Kobo has the colour temperature option (Kobo Clara 2E) , I believe Kobo made a Comfort light , and comfort light PRO options. The option called « Comfort light pro » is I believe the one that can be compared to the temperature on Kindle . Kindles are great devices too though hehe! But just in case you wanted to stay with the same brand… this option is apparently available on the Clara 2E , Kobo Sage, and kobo Libra 2 ☺️

[@shreyasatre]

@@Emjcmt I've managed to get rid of the ads on the Kindle Paperwhite. I'm also a little more familiar with it, so it's a bit more intuitive to use. I use Kobo to read articles added through Pocket, and also to read ebooks borrowed from the public library. Kindle doesn't allow these features. I don't think I need to really upgrade any of these devices since they work perfectly fine for their purposes, and I'm able to read almost anywhere. Very happy with it!

Hi, where did you get the pink finger strap? I'm having a hard time finding it on Amazon, your specific one

[@leonhao]

Yea I'm interested to find out too

[@HannahKerr-gb8cz]

I tried kobo but just couldn't get into it. I love my kindles.

[@ReadwithLexi]

Love my kindle! I’ve done kindle since 2013. I’ve been with them so long it would be hard to switch to another ereader.

[@Emjcmt]

Oh wow, 2013! I can imagine … like me having iPhones for so long I couldn’t switch to another brand 😊 I’m also very used to my Kobo already and I only own it since December 😅

[@pauladelrio6578]

Well! I love this video... I've just bought a Kindle Paperwhite because I have lots of free Kindle books and it was cheaper than Kobo models, but is true that I really want to buy a second-hand Kobo just to read every kind of formats!

[@Emjcmt]

I understand! I actually am debating maybe getting a kindle just because like really like the models and Kindle Unlimited has such a good selection of books❤

[@fleeperification]

Does your paperwhite support PDF? My ancient kindle keyboard supports PDFs so I’m wondering if they removed that feature or not? I was surprised in the video when she said no PDF on kindle. Also, I think there’s an app you can download to convert files to a kindle supported file type.

[@balmuis]

HEARD you have dry eyes, there are drops for that. Helps with clarity.

[@ladysaylor1740]

I love seeing more wlw folks reviewing this type of stuff ❤

[@elladsm2002]

I started using Kobo Aura and then just about a week ago, I got a Kindle Paperwhite ;) Enjoyed using them

[@Emjcmt]

Such great devices ! Which one do you prefer ? I do tend to lean towards Kobo I think

[@1dreamysky]

So Which one do you prefer??

[@SimonLiftsLife]

Kindle allows ypu tp import pdf and epub format now actually. Does this make kindle better or the same level as kobo on this end?

[@fleeperification]

As far as I understand, kindle has always supported PDFs. My kindle keyboard from 2011 always has at least.

[@claudiadelgado4965]

Is the dictionary available in both brands? I’ve heard kindle does but not sure about kobo

[@johnhopper8350]

yes, both Kindle and Kobo have a built in dictionary

[@lyviii2824]

This video is so useful/helpful. Really helped me on which one to buy! (Definitely Kobo) Thank you!

[@Emjcmt]

Oh I’m so glad I could help! 🥹 Kobo was my choice too, so … I agree ☺️

[@AT-fl2rw]

Great video! What case do you use for your Kobo?

[@Emjcmt]

Thank you so much 😊 I use a very random flip cover , I’m so annoyed that nobody sells JUST a transparent back cover like for kindles … the customisation of the device is way less personal because of it haha 😊
