Software-wise the Libra has more customization options and better integration with Calibre, the Oasis has the option to sync non-Amazon books with other devices and the global search (i.e. you can search for a word or a phrase across your whole library, not only inside one book). Really, it would be very difficult to choose between them. Luckily for me I don't have to, but can just switch between them.  |
As a former Kindle owner (several devices over several years), I did miss the global search when I switched to Kobo, but did NOT miss having my device lock up while indexing, which happened often on my Paperwhites. Since Calibre has been mentioned, I'll add that there is a global search plugin available for Calibre now. Not as convenient as on-device, but handy to have, especially as the grunt work of indexing can done entirely locally by your computer, not a little e-reader or a corporate data miner..
