The good news is that some of the many e-ink readers I've owned in the past have gone on to new owners. I still have more than I truly need!

The current list is: Sony T-2, 2-Kobo Aura HDs (one inherited from hubby), Kobo Aura One, Kindle Oasis 2 and a Kobo Forma.

Only 3 of these are in regular use for reading. The Kobo Aura One, Forma and Oasis 2.

As for HOW I use them, the two 8" Kobos are easy to switch between. I'm in the *voracious* reader category, reading several books weekly and some 100+ yearly. I don't do social media, I don't watch TV, I read. So when I get a low battery notice, I sync n' switch.

The Kindle is nice for assorted Amazon freebies and Prime books, but the main reason I have a Kindle is because I also am digitizing some of my print book collection for personal use (and maybe later, as I do have a few public domain print books), for MobileRead use. It's good to have a Kindle device to test on.

The pair of Aura HDs stuck around because it was an easy way to look at CSS styling changes, see which I liked the best in on identical screens at identical settings. But now that I have the Aura One/Forma combo, I will likely sell or find homes for those.

The Sony T2 sticks around for the occasional PDF, nostalgia and also as a good *acid test* for backward compatibility of my ePub3 home-made books.
