It's now time for me to buy a new device and to say goodbye to Kobo, and I wonder if there is such a device.
Googling around didn't help me. Does anyone know?
Thank you!

With Kindles, for books purchased from Amazon, you can set it so that every book you read is added to your currently reading shelf on goodreads, and when you finish it, the book is automatically moved to the read shelf and you are able to rate the books with the rating synced with goodreads, and you can sync your goodreads back to Calibre.
It sounds convoluted, but it's really not...when you get to the end of the book, you get a pop-up asking you to rate the book. You click the number of stars, and it automatically sends the rating to goodreads. In Calibre, install the goodreads plugin and choose to sync the "read" shelf, and in the "sync actions", select to sync the rating from goodreads.
Of course, this all assumes that you have a goodreads account, and that you buy your books from Amazon.
