Hi all,

I'm looking to get an ereader exclusively for use with KOreader and wondering which of these two devices provides a better experience with that software. I was considering the Libra 2 but I'm not sure if the issues it's having with KOreader have been fully resolved as I know the Clara 2e is still having problems, and as well the Oasis 3 I'd be worried about firmware being too new to jailbreak and I'm not sure the new warm feature works with KOreader. In general I usually buy last generation's hardware anyway due to price.

I much prefer the metal design and flush screen of the Oasis, but I worry about its battery life which seems to be a perennial complaint in reviews-- whereas the plastic on the Libra looks a lot cheaper but I suppose the battery might be better? I have no idea which has a better display or which device runs KOreader better. There's also way more Oasises (?) out there on the used market than Libras.

Thank you so much!
