I’m so happy I downloaded all my Kindle books when I still had a chance and then moved to the Kobo ecosystem, which albeit not perfect is much much better

I was kinda amazed to find out how hard it was to buy a kobo libra colour in .de -- apparently there's some kind of cartel thing going on where amazon somehow convince entire markets not to sell their competitors products. I had to order it from Hungary or something iirc.

		I don't know if that is Amazon in Germany. Here all the book stores sell Tolino devices, even my local libraries loan them out.

Would you mind elaborating on the problems you have with the Kobo? I'm thinking of getting one of these once my kindle dies.

		No issues here. I liberated my kindle library and put it in Google Drive. The Kobo can download books from there out of the box. The Kobo store works fine too, although a lot of books barely have any reviews if you’re into that. I have the Kobo Libra Colour and it’s by far the best reader I’ve ever owned.

		Im in NZ, no issues. Setting up syncing with a home library is a bit messy first time, but very doable. The only other e-reader I’ve owned is a Kindle Paperwhite and it’s similar.
