I got the PW5 basically because the stars aligned. My gift Kindle Keyboard qualified me for the quite attractive PW5 offer when store access was discontinued. In addition, I’ve got lazy and prefer direct download of ebooks and I have a large Kindle library. And if I’m being totally honest, there was a wee bit of gadget lust in there, too. It’s been a long time since I got a new toy and I can’t justify a new Kobo given prices and that the ones I have are entirely adequate to my needs.
I like it well enough, better than that, even. Certainly it does what I wanted. I still vastly prefer the Kobo interface and openness and the additional inch on the Aura One. On the other hand, the battery life is excellent and it’s quite zippy compared to my old Kobos. I’ve also found that I’m using Send to Kindle for public domain books rather than using the browser on my Aura One to download them, which is what I did before. Even though it means using two devices instead of one, it’s still easier and it means the book is in my Kindle library. And the OverDrive Function on my Aura One hasn’t worked in over a year and now I can directly access library books again.
