However, I feel like Amazon is making it increasingly difficult to de-DRM books. I won't go into details since I know that can't be discussed but I'm afraid that one day it may become impossible to get out of the Amazon garden.
I love the size of the Kindle Oasis and it looks like the Kobo Forma is comparable. I also like that the Forma can directly download library e-books (which I read a lot).
How do you all think these two compare? For those who use the Kobo ecosystem, how do you like it? Is there a downsize that I'm not seeing. For those who have experience with both, which one do you prefer and why?  |
In fact, the Kobo Forma is significantly, and to my taste usefully, larger than the Oasis. I also think being able to borrow from OverDrive directly from the device is both handy and a time-saver.
As for the rest, I'm obviously solidly in the Kobo camp so I'll let others address the downside.
