I just replaced a Kindle Paperwhite that was probably 7/8 years old with a Kobo Libra 2. Can’t compare it to a modern Kindle, but the Kobo screen is bigger and looks more like paper.
My only gripe is that the software has some odd design choices. On a Kindle, the night mode button is on the main drop down menu, but in Kobo you have to hit the gear button to get to the settings, then scroll down a page to toggle night mode.
Both devices seem to read most formats out there. Look up a program called Calibre to maintain a local library on your PC and convert formats easily.
The main selling point for the Kobo was not sending more money to Jeff Bezos. I cancelled Prime last year and the Kindle was my last link to the Amazon ecosystem. I usually get my books from the library or other online sources but sometimes I’d be out of town craving a certain book and I’d buy it on the Kindle just for ease of use.
Our HR “coordinates” with us and it’s not much better.
The form clearly states that they start on the 15th, then ask on the 10th why the user can’t start work.
They put the wrong office location so we ship their equipment to the office listed on the form then ask why the user can’t start work.
They send an immediate termination notice for a user that leaves at the end of the month, then ask why the user can’t work.
They mark that the new hire doesn’t need a laptop on the new hire form, then ask why the user can’t work.
It’s almost like the forms are intended to convey information for others to act on.
