The local store that sells kobos have them stored in their boxes and, with the Covid thing and all, won't take them out for me to have a look at.
Basically what concerns me the most right now is what size to go. I don't like short lines with 4 or 5 words and having to be always jumping from line to line. I think you can make the text smaller so you can have more words per page? I've been trying to figure out sizes through youtube videos but most people seem to prefer bigger words and I'm wondering if there's any reason for it...
Just from sizes alone, I'm inclined to the Kobo Forma because it's one of the bigger ones but that's really expensive and a lot of reviews say that it's a bit too big. Looks to me roughly the size of a small book but maybe I'm missing something. The next option would be the Libra H20 or the Kindle Oasis. I think the 6 inch ones will feel way too small for me.
Can you guys help me out here on what I'm missing, not considering or your views on this stuff since I'm not familiar at all with these devices?  |
The Forma is about the same size as the iPad Mini. There is the Kobo Libra H2O which is a 7" screen. A lot of people find that a good size. Also, on a Kobo, there are more font sizes available compared to a Kindle. One problem I've read about a Kindle is because it has a limited number of font sizes, some find one size too small and the next up size too large.
The Libra is less expensive then the Oasis and the firmware is better. The reading experience and eBook management are also better with the Libra.
