@maique Oh noooooo! I just got a new Kindle Paperwhite last year, but my next ereader will almost certainly be a Kobo Clara Color :)

@maique I’m wanting to update my old Kobo and you’re quick impressions post is pushing me towards buying one!!

@brandonwrites First Kobo for me, and I’m liking it so far. I needed an e-reader where I could mostly load my ebooks, and not necessarily use their shop all that much. It does that brilliantly, and the added Pocket integration is nice to have too.

@maique Getting out of Amazon's ecosystem was what prompted me about five years ago to switch to Kobo. I was amazed at how well it works with Calibre and I love being able to just add my books and forget it.

@maique This looks so cool. Trying to resist the temptation to run out and buy one. (Can I even get one in the states?) And I just got a Kindle Scribe less than a year ago. (Buyer’s remorse?!)

@mihobu Also, just looked at the Scribe, and it looks really really nice!

@maique But no color! 😭

@mihobu Color is nice, but it’s a very particular kind of color. Rather limited. If you’re dealing mainly with text, it might be unnecessary. On the other hand, price difference between color/b&w is also quite small.

But the screen size is much smaller than on the Scribe, isn’t it?

@mihobu I’m sure you can, yes 🙂

@maique 12 hours sounds a bit rushed with the review 😆 but I take that with as your initial thoughts and would love to read your in-depth thoughts after you have spent some time on it. Especially the colour aspects of the Kobo.

@merecivilian It was mostly for fun. I’ll get back to it after a while.

@maique looks very similar to the Kindle Oasis, but in color! Does the stylus turn it into a colored version of a Remarkable? 👀

maique,
@maique@social.lol avatar

@jedda I have never held a Remarkable, but this would be a much smaller one. The Remarkable seems a lot fancier.

jedda,
@jedda@social.lol avatar

@maique fair enough. This one looks quite nice and is very tempting with the colored e-ink!

maique,

@jedda The Remarkable looks great, but it’s too big for my use. I don’t take handwritten notes, not anymore, and it’s just too big for an e-reader.

@maique Sounds fab. Wishing you many happy years of reading on it.

@macpsych Thank you! Feeling good about the purchase.
