    I have bought the page turner and use the paper white
    I have also bought the neck holder
    What a great combination
    For reading in bed I have bent the neck holder so it sits on my chest and holds the kindle at the right distance from my eyes making it much more comfortable and improving the reading experience
    Your channel is great

    For Canadians, and possibly other “non USA” users, Kobo has a massive advantage over Kindle. Kobo allows the use of Overdrive/Libby to borrow from local libraries. Kobo also has Bluetooth allowing for the use of Audiobooks. Kindle provides neither of these benefits to Canadians. It would be like buying a car and finding out the speedometer has been disabled and the passenger door doesn’t open on a car sold in Canada. Thank you for another informative video.

      What are you talking about? Kindle has Bluetooth to pair earphones and listen to audiobooks

      ​@@szaweuThe above comment is a person in Canada. Bluetooth and Audible Audiobook features on Kindle are region specific. Users in America have access, but these features are NOT available for Amazon Canada, Amazon Mexico and several other countries. Amazon is a US brand, and the USA market gets many exclusive features: OverDrive/Libby and Bluetooth included.

    In the uk it is possible to download library books onto Kobo Libra colour. This makes a huge difference. Thanks for the comparison.

    Something I didn't see in the display comparison was the difference in the display contrast. (Genuinely sorry if you included that but I didn't hear it). The Kobo libra color's display is considerably dimmer when you don't have the backlight on. The paperwhite's screen with no backlight is so bright. Indoors, I always have to use the backlight on my kobo which ruins that "natural" feel of the display. But for my paperwhite, basically as long as the sun is up or there's a light in the room, I don't need the backlight and this makes the display look so much better.
    It's a small thing but it's something I noticed after switching to the kobo. Everything else about the kobo is miles better than the kindle (especially the UI). I just wish the screen had better contrast

    I'd rather buy the ereader which allows you to actually own the books, and not just 'rent' them.

      There's that aspect with the Kindle right? Even if you buy a book from say, Smashwords, download the epub, send it over to your kindle, amazon might decide to just change the cover. Iirc this happened to a few people when movie adaptations came out of the book. Amazon changed the cover for the book

      No eReader does this. The publisher sets DRM, and Kobo doesn't provide the DRM EPUB file in several markets, including Japan. If you want to download the eBook file, check the eBook sellers' policies first. Then check if the publisher uses DRM or not.

      ​@@dm2836Yes, it is the same for digital music that remains in the cloud. Unless users have the ability to download digital purchases, the copyright holder or online resellers have the right to remove or edit files on their servers.
      In practice, the only time I have seen purchases become inaccessible are: (1) The uploader of the eBook file was not the copyright holder and had no rights to do so, (2) the eBook file broke copyright law and was not being distributed legally or (3) the eBook store went out of business (Microsoft, Sony, NOOK UK). Users who didn't have a downloaded copy of their file were given access to their library through Kobo, Sainsbury Digital or other eBook online shops with either the exact book or a credit if that shop didn't have it. Users had to download their EPUBs by a certain date if they wanted it.

      Hey Katrina, please check my recent video on the latest Kindle Paperwhite. I think it's be the best reader to start reading and has everything you may need: 7inch sharp display, fast refresh, waterproof, quality build in that price range, warmth backlight for night reading, and much more. Hope this helps!

    You can't get a kobo in South Africa. Only Kindles. I've looked up Kobo E-readers, and they are almost double the price of the Kindle. Personally, I prefer the Kindle.
