My #Kobo Clara has arrived! I celebrated by purchasing the ebook version of my favorite #StephenKing novel. Then I added my first self-published story from 2015—a personal take on an apocalypse, inspired by #TheStand (with monsters).

Starting this Friday, I’ll be offering my work on platforms other than Amazon for the first time. I’m still getting things ready, but 99-cent pre-orders for this story are already live on the link below for Kobo, #Smashwords, and #BarnesandNoble (among others). More stories to come!

Wie heeft er ervaring met #Ereader in combinatie met de #onlineBibliotheek?

Bij de helft van de boeken gaat het naar de reader niet goed en komt er een leesfout of beveiligingserror.

Holi :)

Llevo pensando unas semanas en comprarme un eReader, y no sé si me podría alguien ayudar. La cosa es que dados los últimos acontecimientos me gustaría evitar, por motivo obvios, comprarme un Kindle. Las otras opciones de marcas que conozco tipo Kobo tienen un precio por encima de lo que me gustaría y puedo pagar ahora mismo.

¿Conocéis alguna marca/modelo que sea compatible con la mayor cantidad de formatos posibles, y que en general sea cómodo en el uso y con software lo más libre posible (o fácil de liberar)? No pretendía gastarme más de 100 euros. ¿Quizá una opción sería comprarlo de segunda mano?¿Suele ser buena idea comprar este tipo de productos de segunda mano?

En general cualquier info me vendrá bien porque estoy un poco verde al respecto, la verdad :(

Calibre 8.2 ebook manager adds new Kobo firmware support, Kindle personal document marking, and bug fixes for macOS, Quickview, and KEPUB rendering.

Wondering if the #Kobo "10V" power adapter is actually a 10W adapter.

I assume marketing people/corporate web designers have no clue?

Roughly one year after I trashed my Kindle Paperwhite, I concluded that I do need an ebook reader. Two main reasons are traveling and reading in bed at night.

As I no longer want to give my money to Amazon, I found two alternatives:

- Kobo Clara BW from the Japanese company Rakuten.

- Tolino Shine 5 by the German Tolino-Allianz.

Their specs are almost identical, Kobo sells for 150 EUR, Tolino for 100 EUR.

Has anyone experience (good or bad) with any of these?

Ho un vecchio #Kobo Nia, il pulsante di accensione si è auto-distrutto. L'ho smontato ma non capisco come potesse funzionare il pulsante, idee?

For some time, I've been trying to avoid buying from #Amazon, and I recently discovered something that helps me with that.

If you buy an #eBook from #Kobo, then find it cheaper at Amazon or anywhere else, they'll refund the difference plus 10%.

Last week, I had occasion to test that out. I bought an eBook from Kobo for £4.99. Amazon had the same book for £2.99, so I submitted a price match ticket at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/p/pricematch-about

@kobo
Just about to make my first purchase on your platform after ditching #kindle.

But. Not happy that you save my credit card information without any opt-out option.

I don't want my credit card info stored on other servers for obvious reasons. Opting out should be offered.

Ma tu ktoś Kobo Libra Colour? Strasznie mnie kusi ten czytnik zwłaszcza biały ale boję się tej kolorowej wersji bo w sumie to po co mi kolory. Tyle że do okładek. Brak Legimi chyba bym zniósł bo korzystał bym głównie z biblioteki ale mógłbym mieć czasami na wyjazdy albo jak tylko eBook dostępny.
Na Kindla jakoś nie mogę patrzeć :)

Owwwww

Thanks to a very lovely sweet friend, who jokingly said "Good news, my Nan died" (this was based on a conversation that we had about an episode of Downton Abbey, just FYI ), I was able to get the new Suzanne Collins book on my eReader!

Unfortunately, the account that I used when I set up the reader, was not the email that I use for the Bol Kobo store... So I had to logout and log in with the proper account.

It lost all my progress........ Which is a bummer........

But...

It did add the book to the reader. It's charging now, and then, I can start it soon!
