Hi.

I have an old Amazon Kindle Paperwhite that is showing signs of its age. So I have to start thinking about replacing it.

So I have been really happy with both the Paperwhite and the Kindle store. But I have realised that I should be moving away from Amazon as it’s not really a company I would like to keep supporting.

So what are the current best options out there. Mostly reading non fiction books, so no need for colour. But a bookstore with a good selection is critical.

Photo unrelated. But a great read/listen about the dust-bowls in the 1920’s.

    I’ve been pretty happy with my kobo ereader. It can connect to the kobo store and work more or less like a kindle. You can also edit a config file on the reader and have it use a calibre-web instance as its primary store, which is what I do. That way you can seamlessly pull stuff from calibre and sync read status automatically. If you search for a book that’s not in calibre, your request gets passed through to the regular kobo store, no muss no fuss.
