If you have books on Amazon and you want them to be on any device besides Kindle, download them soon.

As an alternative Kobo offers price matching and carries almost all of the same books minus some indie exclusives (which is a huge shame, there are some good indie book series I guess I won’t be finishing)

Kobo is amazing. Their e-readers are also the best choice for loading non-DRM ebooks, such as those you might find from Humble Bundle or StoryBundle.

It's also very easy to put KOReader onto a Clara. Then your device truly is your own.
