Hi all!

I’ve been using a kindle for about 10 years now, exclusively since about the last 3 years, when my physical book collection got infested with termites 😭.

Currently I’m using a kindle pw 11th gen. Some reasons I’m considering to replace it are-

1. It’s quite strenuous on my wrist to keep holding it, as it’s quite flat, and lacks any grip.
2. The constant touching of the screen to turn the page is……. Let’s say I’m not a big fan of that. Also, if you’re lying down while reading, it gets quite awkward turning pages. There’s no screen rotation.
3. The recent anti Amazon sentiment.

When all of this is considered collectively, I feel a “grippy” e-reader with buttons may help me a lot. But there are a few things idk about the kobo- is getting books on it difficult? Are books available there, not as aggressively as amazon, but like comparably? Are those books more expensive?
And then there’s the obvious question- colour or bw lol. Is the sharpness of text really bad in the colour one?
I’d love to hear your inputs!!! Thanks!!!!
