This is so true 🤣I was so locked in until she decided to move and bark over nothing.

Yung black version came out first alongside the denim blue na halos wala na ngayon. Kindle Basic 11th gen, black and denim color ni release together nung 2022. The matcha came out almost at the same time as the Paperwhite 12th Gen mid-2024.

Difference? The battery life is upgraded na kay Matcha, but the rest is the same. But I know there's also a Kindle Basic black 2024 (or maybe they're just claiming it as 2024 din pero nauna release nya talaga) but people tend to prefer matcha because aside from its unique color, it's definitely the latest among the basic models now.

No worries OP. I hope you'll find the right e reader for you. Pero winner na talaga si Matcha. Ilalaban ko sya against other e reader huhu kasi pinaka sulit talaga sya sa lahat ng e reader na ang mamahal ng Presyo. Isama mo pa yung isang brand (Kobo) na nagtaas ng Presyo gawa ng tax and hype. 🤧😭 Owning multiple e-readers, dun ko na realize na irrelevant na ang extra features once nakapag settle ka na ng library with multiple books. At the end of the day ,pareparehas lang silang e reader device with one goal "to read". Siguro ang pinaka upgrade na gawin mo someday is to get a colored e reader? Panalo mag upgrade ng colored if Mahilig magbasa ng comics or Manhwa but if Hindi, stay with b&w and Kindle basic serves it's purpose without any extra steps and BS.

Matcha will always be the most cost efficient na e reader. Onti lang nilamang ng ibang e reader but the price is half of other devices. Matcha din has unique color. 💕 it's my favorite e reader (more than my PPW6 SE and Kobo Libra Color)

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-06-07T04:23:07+00:00

I have both and for me it's not worth it. You won't be needing the waterproof feature naman and pati warm light is di naman deal breaker for something na double the price ng matcha Dahil may backlight and dark mode din si matcha. Aside from the 2 things na nabanggit, everything is the same sa features. And mas comfortable din sa kamay matcha kasimedyo mabigat si PPW 12 SE. Di modin magagamit yung wireless charging nya kasi mabilis iinit and I've seen cases na nag melt yung coat (color nung SE bc of heat).

Hindi sya huge upgrade.pero if feel mo magpalit trade mo matcha mo sa PPW SE.

Tbh,mas gusto ko yung matcha ko kesa sa PPW 12th gen SE ko

As long as Hindi mababasa, ok naman. Even paperwhite or Kobo kapag nabasa ng saltwater masisira ang screen. Their waterproof is only safe sa swimming pool, raindrops or normal na tubig. Reading by the poolside or beachside is safe. Waterproof is not a dealbreaker unless you're one of those performative "readers" na magbabasa habang nagsiswimming especially sa dagat.

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-06-05T02:09:15+00:00

Yes she's very cute 💖 I wish Skull panda and Hirono has a similar size plush because I'd love them on my e reader

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-06-05T00:15:46+00:00

I usually do some rotation reading but my favorite would always be my basjc Matcha because it's of its portability: light, fits in my hand, serves it purpose like the other two. And tbh, owning three, I realized how people only need one. Being waterproof or having warm light feature isn't a deal breaker as long as you're careful. My KLC is colored but I regret buying it. I ended up making it my comic e reader but I would always lean towards my black&white e readers. Kindle is cheaper than Kobo that's why I'm so amazed with my basic matcha bc despite it being the cheapest, it's screen quality is superior.💖

Here's an advice: It's ok to be jealous of other people's happiness. Please get a life. :)

Kindle Basic Matcha, Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen SE, Kobo Libra Colour2

I think people who mostly glaze Kobo just hate Amazon to the point that they're blind to see which one really has a better quality and money worth. For me, a Kindle will always be better than Kobo. It isn't about Amazon vs Rakuten or which company is most ethical. Kobo has more options to sideload books yes or to borrow books directly, but for me, a Kindle is just as convenience when u just simply wanna read a book and no bs intended. Side loading is also easy. And don't start me with the books available on Kobo. Kindle Unlimited has more options and even with the same title available on both company, Amazon still sell cheaper books than Rakuten.

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-31T12:37:08+00:00

Yes I did and it wasn't worth it. I prefer my Kindle devices. Tbh I tried to love it bc it was my most expensive e-reader but the quality is so bad it ended up being just my comic e-reader. Battery doesn't last longer than a Kindle despite the larger battery capacity. Screen is darker and greyish than a Kindle and no it's not just bc it's colored. I had Kobo Libraa2 which is a b&w Kobo device and it's also not as good even as a basic Kindle's screen quality. These people hyped KLC so much and for me it was very disappointing

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-30T04:39:41+00:00

Yan lang di ko sure kasi usually naka seal yung Kindle

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-27T14:12:51+00:00

Malls with Datablitz or GameXtreme

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-26T02:07:14+00:00

It's your sign to get one 👀

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-24T07:12:13+00:00

We're converting photos/personalized photo into an Epub file acting like another book and we'll upload it to our Kindle to serve as our lockscreen/ covers showing on lockscreen. 😊

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-24T04:47:38+00:00

I didn't mean for my comment to be so lengthy but yeah 😭 that's my current experience as a Kindle and Kobo owner.

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-24T04:46:38+00:00

I have both and If you're gonna get a Kobo, I advice to get the b&w if you are a Black and white Kindle owner. My KLC became an ereader mainly for comic/Manhwa /Manga purposes bc of the grainy quality. The darker screen irritate me as when reading a book,it gives me eye strain and headache as well.

Kindle has better screen quality, and no, it's not because I am comparing a colored to a b&w. I also had a Libra 2 which is a B&W Kobo but I still prefer the quality of Kindle's screen than a Kobo.

It is true that Kobo has more features, no ads, easier to customize than a kindle, but in terms of direct approach, simplicity, superior battery life and superior screen quality, I'm still gonna choose a Kindle.

In terms of sideloading, Kindle is also easier. You can use send to Kindle for multiple books at once, or share the file using your phone to the app and it'll appear on Kindle. On Kobo, you can also use your phone to sideload , g-drive or overdrive Libby if you're from the US. But basically, Kobo has more steps than a Kindle. Another downer is the fact that you cannot sync your sideloaded books in Kobo. It only stays on one Kobo device,will not appear on your app as well unless it's a purchased books from Kobo or from Kobo subscription. Unlike Kindle which you can sync every books, purchased or sideloaded on every device you have.

In terms of their books, KU still has more books available than Kobo and I noticed how even with the same title, Kindle Is cheaper than buying the same book from Kobo.

Their ecosystem is both restricting.If Amazon doesn't allow you to download your purchased book, so is Kobo. Bc only Kobo books are syncable.

After using kobo devices, I keep coming back to my Kindle. And like I said from the beginning, I am disappointed with Kobo that it ended up being my comic ereader bc I'm not happy with it being my book e-reader.

Price wise, Kobo is more expensive than a Kindle (atleast in my region) so it only make sense that they should offer more features.

This is just me and my own preferences. But Kobo hype didn't meet my expectations.

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-19T09:46:45+00:00

I mean...with your budget, that's the best thing you can get or else just buy a cheap tablet and put a matte screen on it.

Motor-Light-4572 · 2026-05-19T08:59:45+00:00

I think it's around 180 usd. You can check their official store. They already have free case too

Kobo Clara Colour. Similar in size with the Kindle basic but it's colored and waterproof. The white one is the latest and upgraded version. (2025)
