I bought a pretty early Kobo like 10+ years ago and found myself very underwhelmed with the software situation. I sold it and went back to my kindle.

Maybe it's time to take a second look. The hacker in me's interest is piqued.

Frankly though, the biggest thing that keep me on Kindle these days I suspect are hard to replicate. For example, automatic audio book/kindle sync where I can switch back and forth, listening to the audio book in my car and reading at home in bed. For two, read.amazon.com where I can read from my locked down work machine without installing anything. The whole whispersync ecosystem.




I don’t use any Amazon hardware but Kindle Unlimited has got me like netflix did back in the day.

Trashy sci fi is my vice.
