Wish I could use the Kobo in South Africa

Jennifer

You might be able to get the app on your phone

Carol

Jennifer I have it on my phone but I want the real Kobo. Overdrive in South Africa doesn’t work on the Kobo

Jennifer

Ok I don’t know what other ones are like

Sean

I have tried many including the iPad which is harder to read on. Kindle fire is not as easy either as it’s a tablet. Kindle paperwhite is great and the books are reasonable for the most part. Kobo glo is wonderful as well and in Canada easier to come by as well

Cassandra

If the kobo was easy to get library books onto it, it would be the best e reader ever.

Sean

Kobo is a wonderful reader. I like the interface better

Cassandra

Sean yes I agree. I love my kobo I just wish library books were easier to download. I did figure mine out though! Now it’s time to go read all these books lol

Connie

A tablet is very bad for your eyes though

Barbara

Kindle

Sean

I guess we should ask what do you want. A true ereader or tablet

Barbara

There are sites that send free books daily on kindle…you check the genre and they send books….the best one is http://freebooksky.com/ and http://bookbub.com/

Danielle

And to follow up on what Sean asked – where do you do most of your reading? It’s impossible to read the fire by my pool because of the glare. Paperwhite has no glare but is strictly for reading

Lisa

Kindle Fire!

Carol

Paperwhite—can go outside no glare

Lee

I had e-readers from early on – Sony, B&N, 4 kindles. Past posts are so very true – Kindle Fire has glare for reading outside. paperwight is great for reading both outdoors & indoors. Fire is good for indoor reading & using like a tablet. Sadly the ease of use of Amazon products have made competing products obsloete.

Paperwhite

I use the Kindle app on my phone.

Sophiene

It so depends on what you like and where you read. I use the shubook app on my ipad mini and calibre software on my computer and am completely happy with that.

Kindle Fire really outsmarts the paperwhite.

Linda

I love my Kindles! I have a Fire, which does much more than just let me read books and The Paperwhite, which travels everywhere with me, fits in my purse, holds over 2600 books and keeps a charge for a week!

Samir

Kindle paperwhite is a good deal, I think !!

Cortney

Kindle Voyage is my favorite!

Kindle Oasis

Heather

Is that a waterproof one? I’m a current kobo user but thinking of switching to kindle but I would need a waterproof one

Raymond

I have a Voyage and love it but the Oasis is next

Richard

Heather yes the oasis is waterproof. By far the best gadget I own.

Heather

Richard does it have a light up screen as well?

Richard

Heather sorry I took so long to reply. Yes it does, it’ll even auto adjust to the light you are in.

Adrian

iPad

Squire

Kindle. Paperwhite or oasis.

Annette

For a dedicated reading device that’s not a tablet, the Kindle Paperwhite would be my first choice

Rikki

Kobo / iPad

Jennifer

I have the kindle app on my iPhone and a kindle fire. My original kindle paper white recently died and tho the others work just fine, without a doubt I will be buying a paper white as it is the best for reading in general

Vijaya

I am reading on my Kindle paper white for the last four years. Its amazing.

Robyn

A motorola tablet

Sydney

I have a Samsung tablet with 3 different apps to read. I mainly use the Kindle for Samsung app and it’s perfect!

Angie

For me, it’s a combo of my iPad and my Kindle Voyage. I use both equally. I just love my iPad, but can’t beat the kindle for reading in direct sunlight.

Raymond

Exactly what I do.

Tiffany

One with the longest battery life

Gordon

I use a Kindle Fire because when my eyes get tired, I use the text to speech which uses a human voice and is easy to listen to. When I’m editing, it is useful to have the book read to me.

Margaret

Does it do text to speech for kindle books?

Gordon

Margaret Yes and there is a choice of male and female voices.
