Looking for a e ink ebook reader that's easy on the eyes, can do Libby library books easily, and extra bonus if there is a built in planner that could sync online. I don't want to be locked into an Amazon or other system that requires subscription services. Thanks!

Edit: thanks a ton for all the replies and advice. I ordered a kobo libre color! Going to set it up for the misses as a gift. She generally wants a physical book but recently had been reading on her phone and complaining about it hurting her eyes. <3

For kobo users, where do you get your books now that Amazon has stopped you from downloading and converting into epub?

Personally I pirate my books and if there's one I particularly like then I'll go find the author and give them money directly. Most have a substack/patreon/ko.fi and they get more money

I do sometimes. But theres an author I like who's books are only on Amazon (I've asked him to widen availability), and amazon the absolute cunts turned off the ability to download Kindle books so you can convert them

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I've got the same shit happening. I don't like audiobooks but there's a series I like where the third is an audible exclusive. So I have to pay money to Amazon for a service I don't want if I want to read that book
