Hi,
My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.
So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?
It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.
And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?
Update: I did research based on your recommendations. Thanks for all the input, that was way more than I expected!
I settled for the Kobo Clara Color since it seemed to almost perfectly match my needs and Kobo and the model itself got heavily recommended here and on the web.
i have a kobo which i adore. It's a great little device. Pretty simple to sideload if that's your thing. Just plug in, drag and drop to the root folder of the kobo, then eject drive and unplug. it auto imports them and stuff. The draw back though, kobo plus doesn't have as many books as kindle unlimited, if that's your thing. but all in all, kobos are great.
As for transferring books from kindle to kobo, i don't believe you can anymore. amazon closed that process down, and now I believe you can't do it. Which sucks balls.
