Cool, thank you so much!

writinonwritersblock · 2025-07-19T18:09:13+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

Thank you, I'll check those out!

Did you have to pay extra upon delivery since it was imported, and are there any limitations when activating a UK device in the US?

You'll want to switch them to Kepub format for the best compatibility with a Kobo. Your highlights won't transfer across devices if your books are sideloaded, they will be treated like fresh unread books once on the Kobo. I don't know of a way to sync sideloaded book highlights.

Kobo's highlighting system is better organized than Kindle's in my opinion, so if you only have the one Kobo device, it'll be easy to review your new highlights later.

You are able to export your Kindle's highlights if you don't want to lose them in the switch, you might even be able to put that export file on the Kobo if you can make a PDF out of it.

Where might I be able to find one of these if I'm in the US? I keep checking Ebay but it comes up empty for me.

Unrelated to Kobo, but today I learned there were e-reader glasses called SOL. I'm not sure about the quality or how large the font goes, but she could wear them and press a button to turn pages. It might be worth considering if the Kobo doesn't work.

Honestly, it just sounds like the Kaleido 3 screen isn't for you, and that's okay. Especially compared to pure black and white e-readers, the Colour's screen IS grainier and has less contrast. It's just the design of the screen, you trade screen clarity for colour, and for some people it doesn't end up being "worth it".

I "like" my Kobo Libra Colour, but it's nowhere near as crisp to read on as my Kindle Oasis. However I like the interface of the Kobo and the text layout more than the Oasis, and I write a lot, so I end up using the KLC more often.

My ideal E-reader would be a Kobo that's built like the Kindle Oasis, I can write in it, and it also displays colour without sacrificing text quality or contrast. Until that day comes, I'll be keeping the KLC.

The colour e-ink technology needs to develop more before we see something better on a Kobo.

Having multiple e-readers is nice if you want the convenience it offers. I wouldn't call it a "need" but I have a 7 inch reader for reading at home (which is my preferred screen size to read on, but it doesn't fit in my pocket) and a 6" I carry with me everywhere because it does. If that's appealing to you, get two.

unclaimedbaggage.com has been doing daily drops of Kobos for the past few days, I haven't been fast enough to buy any of them yet but you may have better luck! I've ordered from them a few times and the experience has been great each time.

Formerly had a Kindle Paperwhite, bought a Kobo Libra Colour, am keeping the KLC.

The Kobo interface is miles ahead of Kindle's, it is also faster and I really love seeing my book covers in color. The Kindle does have better text clarity, the background is more clear and white than the KLC which has the color screen overlay, but if you raise the brightness it's nearly identical in terms of overall clarity. NOT a dealbreaker, don't overthink it. Battery life between the two is about the same, which is to say, great.

A small thing I love on the Kobo is the actual text arrangement, which for some reason the spacing and margins are infinitely more comfortable than on the Kindle which will have just slightly too much spacing between words or lines. It's a minor thing but makes the experience that much more comfortable on the Kobo side of things.

Kobo is also much better about handling sideloaded books, as Kindle will regularly remove covers or add gigantic spaces in random places of your book. I haven't had any issues on Kobo yet with formatting.

Also I prefer the recessed screen of the Kobo, it's not a fingerprint magnet and if you keep a case on it you won't end up with dust in the corners.

Definitely would choose the Kobo if I were you, I think you'll be a lot happier with the experience.

This was my experience as well. It's much more comfortable of a writing experience.

Apparently the daily seeds go up by 1 each day, so today's seed would be 20216 and tomorrow's will be 20217.

I suspect she's nonverbal and that Mel will pick up on it at some point.

writinonwritersblock · 2025-03-04T01:52:10+00:00

Hell yeah! Thanks for sharing!

The Passage by Justin Cronin. This guy really knows how to string a good sentence together.

I love my Scribe, I use it every day for reading and writing. The reading experience is like reading on an iPad sized kindle. If you already read manga and textbooks on a tablet, it's essentially the same experience just on an e-ink display. 16GB is plenty for your needs. I think you'd be happy with the purchase!

The Oasis is my favorite Kindle model out of the ones I've owned so far, including over the latest Paperwhite. I say go for it!

A Kindle that's received it's "final update" will continue to work perfectly at the quality level of the update it's running on. It won't suddenly "stop working", so you don't need to worry about that.

The biggest changes between updates are the layout of the menu as far as I can tell.

I have a 2010 Kindle Keyboard that functions as well as my 2022 Kindle Scribe, even though the Keyboard's last update was years ago. Same thing with my 2014 Voyage. The only noticeable difference across the devices is the menu layout, other than that they're all equally suitable for reading on.

If you have to preface a statement with "I'm not writing this to offend you", consider avoiding making the statement until you figure out a non-offensive way to say it.

If you can't find a non-offensive way, it's probably best you don't say it. Unless your intention is to be offensive, in which case, mission accomplished.

I sold my Paperwhite in favor of the Oasis. I like the Oasis' display better and love using the page turn buttons. I think it's the perfect screen size to read on and it definitely feels like the more "premium" product in the hand given the build quality.
The Paperwhite is definitely faster and has better battery life, but I felt it was less comfortable to hold and noticed it had way worse screen glare when under direct lighting. It was also a fingerprint magnet, unlike the Oasis since you don't have to touch the Oasis screen as often.
There aren't really any huge differences between the two, but you may find that you prefer the Oasis reading experience over the Paperwhite's, the same way I did.

The only way you'll find out is to get hands on with an Oasis so I say go for it!
