I think I may have lost my beloved kobo. Think I left it at the doctors surgery, but they don’t have it, so....

I’ve had a couple of Kobos, no problems, like them. Was planning on eventually updating to the Kobo One (the one that lets you borrow from the library with Overdrive). However, our local libraries have now moved from Overdrive to BorrowBox, so this won’t work with the kobo.

Are there many U.K. libraries still using Overdrive? Because if there are, then I will just get the Kobo One, and join that library.

If not, then I’m not sure the One is worth the extra money. So then I’m wondering Kobo or Kindle? I’ve always avoided Kindle because I don’t really want to give Amazon any more of my money, but maybe it would be better?

Any ideas or opinions very gratefully received.
