Considering Kindle [paperwhite 3], Nook [glowlight plus], Kobo [glo hd] and Onyx [C67ML], which one has a better build quality/more durable?
Onyx boox is cheaper [here], but I can't trust it because it's a Chinese brand.
Also I've read some bad reviews regarding kobo devices which fail by themselves, and also reviews which deny them.
Unfortunately warranty isn't an advantage for me, because none of the mentioned brands have official stores here.
As a software engineer, IMO it is possible to fix software by updates and patches but there is no option for hardware.
