I don't own an Inkpad but one of the reasons I went with a Kobo is the Overdrive integration plus my previous reader was a Sony 350 so the few books I've purchased are compatible, more recent ones that I had purchased after Sony tranferred their store to Kobo autodownloaded to my Kobo One when I set it up.(Have owned the Kobo Aura One since release in 2016)

I'm a 98% library user, so Overdrive integration was important to me. The setup with Overdrive is similar to when you setup Libby on a tablet device, add library (can use zip code) add your library card and pin and then you can set your search option to Overdrive to search from the device for library offerings. I mainly search library website using a PC or Libby on phone to place holds. When the holds are ready, Overdrive notifies. A newer FW update gives a notification on a bell symbol to let me know there are library books to download if the Wifi is enabled.. I can also return Overdrive books from device.

The browser is a bit clunky as on any Eink device, but works well to download Project Gutenberg books wirelessly.


*I added a Kindle Oasis 3 due to the Kindle ecosystem easier for Advanced Reader Copy acquisition. Amazon gift cards also helped.
