I’m thinking of getting an ereader since i prefer reading paper to reading on a normal computer and most of my library is digital.

I don’t need one that comes with an online bookstore (i get all my ebooks from sites like Project Gutenberg). I certainly don’t need Amazon ads on the lock screen. My local library doesn’t use OverDrive as far as i know. I don’t use Pocket.

I do want one with e-ink, which i think is most of them. Being able to easily put my own epub files on the thing is essential, but that’s about all i need. Though i wouldn’t mind if what i get also works for taking notes.

I’m currently looking at a Kobo Libra 2, but i figured i should ask if a different option fits my criteria better. Just a more comfortable way to read ebooks than on a landscape laptop screen. Thanks in advance.

    For you, certainly look at Kobo.

    PocketBook do some nice readers, Linux-based. “drag and drop” books in, Koreader works on it (reading app).

    Low-fuss.

    But look at Kobo first (and I’m a PocketBook owner!)
