Best eBook Reader 2023 - Which e-Reader to use in 2024?

Рет қаралды 30,289

Күн бұрын

I have a few e-Readers to choose between, but which eReader is what I prefer to use? And why? Which e-Reader will I keep using in 2024? Kindle or Kobo? Storytel or not? Which ebook Reader designs do I prefer over others? Which screen size? In this video I go through which e-Readers I prefer and why. And which eReader is the best for me, and I will probably continue using in 2024.

Thanks, Stefan. Greetings from the Czech republic. I have Kobo Glo HD And i love it. But maybe i will buy another newer Kobo.

As long as you are happy with what you get there is no need to buy a new one.

I'm considering an android e reader and my options seem to be Boox Poke 5 which I can't get in the UK and Meebook M6 which I see very little information, reviews or support about.

@svartling 4 ай бұрын

@SteamyPMcGee poke 5 is a bit old now. Is it the size your are after? Onyx Boox iis a more known company than mebook. I would go for one of their e-readers.

@SteamyPMcGee 4 ай бұрын

@svartling yes I'm committed to the 6" size as portability and hand comfort is priority. I'm unsure the boox palma is worth the price for me as it is very high specced as a general use device whereas I would be using reading only. Poke 5 I think is coming up to a year old and all sold out in the UK. So I could get an m6 from amazon (good returns if I don't like it) or hold the trigger for what boox releases next in the poke or page line. I'm sure it's just around the corner! Meebook used to be lifebook/boyue.

@svartling 4 ай бұрын

@SteamyPMcGee yeah I know about meebook. Yeah 6-inch without buttons is my favorite too. Sounds like a good plan. You can also check out the BigMe lineup. They have a 6-inch I think.

I bought the kindle signature and returned it within 24hours and downgraded to the kindle basic 11th gen ; the size was not convenient for my everyday read and I didn’t like warm light. The basic is so perfect for me!! It also supports Arabic!!

I purposely wanted an ebook with physical buttons, cause it is comfortable to use it sometimes. Also I loved the design of kobo libra 2, it is very comfortable, specifically considering that the screen can rotate and you can choose which side in which hand you hold, and the side grip is very usefull, comfortable. Plus it does have touch screen, so you can still use it loke that.

@@svartling How much does your kobo libra 2 battery last and how much do you actually use it during a day? Cause I've got mine almost a week ago, used it a few hours a day, mostly with wifi and bluetooth turned off and light on minimum and off, and it's already 20% of battery and seems like it's going down fast.

Great overview! Thank you for posting. I have quite a few ereaders, and I agree on the Kindle Basic. It is the one I reach for the most, over my Paperwhite 2021 and Oasis. I have a Kobo Clara HD that I really loved, but it is dying on me, something is wrong with the SD Card, so I've been considering getting a Clara 2e. I really like how Kobo handles metadata, enabling me to view my sideloaded book library by series, etc. That is one place where the Kindle lineup is sadly lacking, in the way it handles sideloaded content.

@svartling 8 ай бұрын

Great comment. Thanks. Yes kobo is really great for sideloaded content

@svartling 8 ай бұрын

When it was first released there was a black one available too. They don’t seem to be available anymore. But the blue is black on the front and that is what matters I think. You find a lot of videos on my channel to learn stuff about e-readers if you are interested.

In Türkiye we don't have much e-reader options. Amazon doesn't sell Kindle to Türkiye but we have a access to the other shopping sites. Long story short I only can buy Kindle or Kobo in Türkiye. In Türkiye buying an e-reader is very expensive. The cheapest version of them is Kindle 10th generation Paperwhite 4 32 GB, 2022 Kindle Basic 16 GB. Kobo Clara 2e is more expensive than them. I'm thinking to buy 10th generation Paperwhite 4 because of the capacity. Do you think it would be logical and useful to buy this model in 2024? (It's gonna be my first e-reader)

@svartling 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment. If you will only use it for sideloaded content, then paperwhite 4 could be an excellent e-reader. But you will not have a dictionary for your language and no support for your language in the ui either.

Hi, thank you for a great review! I am mostly interested in being able to borrow norwegian ebooks from the public library now that i am living abroad, so i need an e-reader that allows for other apps so i can have bookbites on it. You say the kobo 2e lets you borrow swedish books from the library, how do you do that? Or would you recommend to get an ereader like the Boox Poke5 or the Meebook M6?

My channel has videos about most of your questions. Here is how I borrow books: How to borrow an eBook from your local library and read it on your Kobo e-Reader without Overdrive kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLadesRky522Z6M.html If you need to install apps on your e-reader then it should run Android have Google Play store installed.
