    A Kobo e-reader. I now read much more than before because of the convenience, and I also became a book pirate. It has paid itself multiple times on the money I’ve saved in physical books.

        Everywhere I go suggests Lemmy returned the pictures feature, but then I try it and it still won’t work. What’s going on here?

      Is it something specific about a Kobo e-reader that is amazing or would any e-reader have turned you into an avid bookworm you think?

        I have a Kobo and my wife has a Kindle - I like the Kobo way better, primarily because the Kindle is trying to sell me stuff all the time.

          That’s why you never connect the kindle to the internet and simply upload copies of the books into it

          I prefer the Kindle because it’s so easy and cheap to buy books I don’t need to bother pirating.

        I have a kobo as well and I I did a lot of research before selecting it. Imho it’s the best on the market for my personal needs and that definitely changed how often I use it vs an alternative. Some of the things I like about it are direct integration with the library and the ability to do audiobooks. I also like that it is only an ereader and I can’t play games or surf the web on it. I think knowing what’s gonna help you as an individual is the most important thing. If you’re more likely to take a fully fledged tablet with you somewhere because of the versatility, and would otherwise leave a plain ereader at home, then a tablet is better because if you decide to read at least you have it with you. Like a lot of tech, I think it really depends on the user.
