Hi.

I have an old Amazon Kindle Paperwhite that is showing signs of its age. So I have to start thinking about replacing it.

So I have been really happy with both the Paperwhite and the Kindle store. But I have realised that I should be moving away from Amazon as it's not really a company I would like to keep supporting.

So what are the current best options out there. Mostly reading non fiction books, so no need for colour. But a bookstore with a good selection is critical.

Photo unrelated. But a great read/listen about the dust-bowls in the 1920's.

I second the suggestion of a Kobo. I have the Libra 2, bought after the charging port of my paperwhite gave up the ghost, and it's perfect for my needs:

  • usb-c charging port
  • native support for epub
  • hardware page turning buttons
  • water proof (not tested, but nice to know it's there)

Support from Rakuten has been stellar as well.

I also have a libra 2 and I read it in the shower and have dropped it in a bath once
