Well fuck... Guess i'll need too look at what is available for ebook downloads i my arr stack to get books for my kobo.

The kobo store is mostly useless, and there are limited options available for buying ebooks here, so amazon has been the best option for likely finding what i was looking for.

Yeah I looked into the Kobo store and a LOT of the books I have - which are not exactly small titles - aren't available there.

In some cases they've got the first couple books or audiobooks out of a series that currently has 10

Iquit on Kindle a few years ago. The publicationsI read, like Asimov’s Sci Fi, no longer publish via Kindle. I use Book Funnel, Kobo, Pocket Book and store books on my desktop’s drive.

I literally just installed caliber recently. Are they following my every move or something? Trying desperately to prevent other "near techky" people from leaving the market place?

I’m sad that the Kindle Oasis doesn’t get a new model. Mine has served me well for the past few years, but it’s starting to show its age.

I felt the same about my Voyage, but I've resolved to move to kobo once it bites the dust.

I jumped from the Voyage to the Paperwhite when they switched to USB-C and added a warmth slider for the screen. It’s really nice, especially with an origami case (even if that case isn’t as nice as the origami case for the Voyage).

A physical (or physical-ish) button is pretty much my main driver. I also like the little bit more freedom I'd have with a kobo.

[–] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I do wish they hadn’t killed the pressure button. But I tend to swipe anyway.
