My favorite font is LexiaDama, which doesn't work without upping the weight considerably. I could change the weight with FontForge, but honestly, don't feel like bothering. Kobos and Kindles both have the option to adjust the weight of sideloaded fonts, so I'll stick to them. |

Is it just me, or did the announcement of the new basic Kindle suck the air out of the room for the new Clara?
I still prefer the Clara over the Kindle. But that new basic looks really impressive for what it is. Both that and the recent Paperwhite make Amazon look like they are overdelivering on their competition. |

I'm curious about comparison between Libra and Clara screen wise. With no added layers on top, it seems to me Clara might be better, but maybe I'm wrong?

Those are significant points of difference for Kobo to market. I doubt they'll be enough to overcome ecosystem inertia for many, but they are added value features that (imo) mean Amazon is not "overdelivering" against them. |

Look, I'm not going to switch to Kindle but the new Paperwhite and now the new basic Kindle are very nice devices and a very good deal for the price (though of course there's the $20 surcharge for ad removal). |
