you're best off buying a preowned Kindle or something

last i checked Kobos were decent e-readers

of has that fact changed in past years

Right, but there's no $$$ savings

same with Onyx things what ever they were

indeed similar price but just chinese manufacturer (not like kindles are manufactured anywhere else than in china too but :P)

yeah, I just assumed that if he's asking for chink e-readers, it's because he doesn't want to spend the same amount of money as a mainstream one

yep

what does cheapest kindles cost these days anyway ?

i know cheapest kobos are somewhere around 50-70 area depending on model on ali

brand new white kindle 90usd

not that bad

Yeah, there's almost no reason to not get kindle

mostly all that can be blamed on the e-ink cartel too :/

only reason probly get something else over kindle is format support ?

Yeah

if you need those epubs and CBR/Z s

Kobos play well with more formats

(and probly RTF/ too)

Than Kindles

Dear, I put epubs on my kindle all day with Calibre

Yeah converting to mobi is easy at least

@Matthew sure you can also most likely convert any file to pdf too ~

PDF is ghey

not the point on when comparing native support

It's not conversion, tho. It's just an epub.

Pdfs suck for kindles

Unless they improved

PDF is actual cancer and I hope it dies

i mean it is indeed almost 30 or something like that old format

(probly closer to 25 fuck if i know)

but for what it should be used its amazing format.. whats its being used on ... not so much these days

layers and layers of bloat

<#527849695020580866> at this point, but anyway, what I'm trying to say is that there's not any real benefit, $$$ or features-wise to getting chinkreader over a kindle+third party software

not to mention the whole ISO standard on it is mess

I dont has the 100usd or w/e is its price to gets a kindle

Kobo Glo or Aura are sub-100 cheaper is scam or really bad device pretty much

You're looking at less than a 10% savings. Just save up a bit longer dear

i doubt at those kobo prices much is left as profit after the display unit
