Thanks for helping me discover Kobo! Looks like a good Kindle alternative.
There’s also Boox, another alternative with Android.
Except they are blatantly violating GPL license
Could you give a bit more context?
They refuse to publish modified source code of the kernel with bad reasons such as "it's a private information" or "because China and India are fighting"
I'll check that out too
I have a Kobo Clara BW and it's fantastic. Unfortunately, it doesn't support my SO's language well, so YMMV.
Yea, love my kobo
Just bought a new 7" Libra, my only complaint is the colour screen is lower contrast than a pure black and white
You're welcome. There are a few exclusive books that only show up an Amazon but so far 99% of what I have been shopping for has been available on Kobo.
