There tends to be a bias toward Kobo devices, especially on Reddit, due to anti-Amazon sentiments. With that set aside, the comparison of the actual hardware really comes down to individual preferences.
The deciding factors that led me to choose the new Paperwhite:
- better selection of translation dictionaries
- the ability to translate an entire selected section of text
- much lower (Prime Day) price
- Whispersync between Kindle and Audible book “partners”
If I were not a language learner, I would have more strongly considered the Libre 2 due to the ability to manage large book collections via Calibre, hardware buttons, and for the 90/180 degree screen rotation.
