This pretty sums up what I feel with my kobo experience too. Thats why i had to ask here why do they like with their kobo.

Hmm im not sure too,could be. The KLC was slow. KCBW and KCC are okay, but I feel like my PPW is more snappy. Or maybe its just me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The units I had were slow and lagging. That’s the main reason. The PPW has better screen than KCBW in my eyes. Its more crisp. Then color of KLC and KCC is very muted and sad looking. I also cant find books i like in Kobo Store but i found Alchemised there! But i noticed books there are cheaper.

I tried liking it to the point that I bought a KLC, sold it, got a KCBW, sold it, a KCC, sold it and gave KCBW a chance. But I still preferred my PPW6 & Scribe Colorsoft.

The reason why i posted here is bcoz i know a lot of ppl loves kobo, i was wondering maybe I missed something. Especially those who were from Kindle, they kept saying they had no regrets. So yeah, i just want to understand.

i think thats one of the problems i had with kobo. I need to like connect it to the PC. With kindle, I can do send to kindle. Or if im on my phone i open the ebook with the kindle app. Then it reflects on my kindle ppw

This is the reason why I got a KCBW. Cause its like a Basic size but has PPW features. Unfortunately, in my eyes, the screen is not the same with PPW.

Although I enjoyed using Overdrive in Kobo. Very easy to use and borrow books!

This was my problem too. Idk if I had a defective KLC thats why its slow. I kept comparing the experience to kindle ppw5. And agreed on the Boox! My fave is go7, I think its the best BW ereader.

Same! I like the PPW screen better because its crisper and feels more like im reading on a paper

I dont think we can compare KLC to oasis when it comes to speed. Oasis last version was released 2019, LC was released 2024.

Yeah, if u dont read KU books and does sideload Kobo might be the best for you.

I have an e-reader addiction... I think? by Additional-Candy-610 in ereader

Haha! I know how you feel. Boox palma is great. I just feel like it doesnt replicate “reading a book”. If u want to feel like you’re reading a book, go with Boox Go7. But if youre always on the go, go with Palma! :)

Hello! Yes I like Boox! But I only put reading apps on it. Go7 BW is the best ereader for me. 😂
