I’ve always used kobo because kindle seemed much more closed, but god is it a shit device…
I can’t count the number of times it got almost bricked, either not turning on or being stuck on a loader forever, and I’ve had to somehow do a full reset (which loses reading progress on all books ofc). It’s happened many times over 3 different devices, every time I pick it up I don’t know if it’s going to work.
At least twice it refused to turn on _in the plane on my first day of holiday_, a day after I loaded new books. Useless for the whole trip. Inexcusable.
Would still pick it over kindle, but it’s out of hate for Amazon, not love for kobo.
