Kobos, on the other hand, will support most file types — with the exception of Amazon's own. You'll even be able to read PDFs, text files, comics and graphic novels on your Kobo device, just to name a few. You'll find that the Kindles have some custom fonts designed by Amazon, with Bookerly and Ember being the most popular ones. We found that the list of fonts on Kindles is extensive enough that we didn't find the need to sideload more, but you can if you need to.
Kobo devices also have their own set of default fonts, but there's no rule against sideloading more, including Amazon's own custom ones like Bookerly. And sideloading is as easy as plugging your Kobo ereader into a computer and moving your desired font to the device's fonts folder. While the Kobo Store has a large number of audiobooks, you can't listen to them on any of the company's ereaders — not even the expensive Forma.
For that, you'll need to download the Kobo app on your smartphone or tablet. However, all the latest iterations of the Kindle devices Kindle 8th Gen, Kindle Oasis 8th and 9th Gen, Kindle Paperwhite 10th Gen have Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headphones and audiobook support for anything you get from Audible.
Goodreads is a great social platform for avid readers and, ever since Amazon acquired the company, there's seamless integration with Kindle devices available on the ereaders. It's a great and easy way to keep tabs on your library. However, integration with other platforms on Kindle devices stops there. Other than OverDrive support to borrow library books, Kobo also has a partnership with Dropbox. If you happen to have your library saved in a Dropbox folder, you can easily connect the two and transfer files to the device without needing to plug the ereader into your computer.
Then there's Pocket support on the Kobo devices as well. This app allows you to read long-form articles on the web that you save for later, and syncing with your Pocket account will give you access to them all on your Kobo ereader. There are some differences between the two platforms when it comes to the user interface as well — the main being the ability to organize your library on the device. While you can create folders and collections on both Kindle and Kobo devices, you can only organize ebooks you've purchased from the Kindle Store on an Amazon device.
If you've added books you've purchased from elsewhere, they will sit in the main library but you will not be able to move them to a folder. On the other hand, everything you have stored on your Kobo device can be organized as you see fit.
Pretty much everything else about the two platforms is competitive, including pricing, so the choice of device ultimately rests on whether you'd like to borrow library books or if you're a Prime member, what file format the vast majority of your existing library is, and whether you'd like to listen to audiobooks when you're not reading.
At the end, you won't go wrong with either a Kindle or a Kobo, with both offering their own set of pros and cons. If you already own a tablet — either an iPad or an Android device — do you really need another device to read digital books on? Perhaps not, but there are a few advantages an ereader offers that you won't get with a tablet. Battery life Ebooks readers use far less power than a tablet, allowing manufacturers to claim days, if not weeks, of battery life.
And every single model listed above offers at least a few days of battery if you're an avid reader, which gets pushed to a couple of weeks at least if you're a casual reader. With tablets, you'll be doing a lot of other things besides reading, and they would likely need topping up every day. E Ink technology As mentioned above, every ereader on the market uses an E Ink screen with a matte finish, unlike the shiny reflective displays on tablets.
This makes it easier to use ereaders in bright sunshine, which can be a problem with some backlit tablet screens. Blue light filter While dark mode has become quite common in recent times and many modern electronic screens automatically adjust their displays depending on ambient lighting, there's no filter to reduce sleep-disrupting blue light.
Ereaders, however, use front lights with a white to yellow hue that's a lot better for the eyes and your sleep pattern as compared to phones and tablets. Affordable and convenient There are a few other reasons to consider an ereader over a tablet: they're typically smaller and lighter, with thicker bezels so you can hold them comfortably while reading.
And they're also typically cheaper — the most expensive ereaders like the 3G version of the Kindle Oasis or the Kobo Forma cost as much as a budget tablet.
While you'll likely get more bang for your buck with a multipurpose device, you'll need to contend with limited battery life and a bright screen that's not quite the best option for reading digital books. There's a different class of E Ink tablets that are designed specifically for note taking. These devices typically have bigger screens — The most popular digital note-taker like this is perhaps the ReMarkable 2 , but others like the Onyx Boox Max 3 and the Kobo Elipsa are a little more versatile.
The latter two actually allow you to read ebooks and annotate as you go, while you need to jump through a few hoops to get ebooks loaded onto the ReMarkable as it's primarily a note taker and not an ereader.
It's easy to argue that tablets from Samsung and Apple are perhaps far more useful than E Ink digital note takers, but if you don't need a multimedia device, then the better battery life and easy-on-eyes screen of a dedicated research device like the Onyx Boox Note Air and Kobo Elipsa might make a lot more sense for some users.
