I have been using ereaders since 2010ish. I had a sony ereader that lasted me a very long time. Then in 2018ish I got a Kobo Libra and I fell in love with that. I never really cared to upgrade my ereaders for the longest time but then I heard about color ereaders and I got a Kobo Libra Color in 2025. This is also the first time in 15 years I decided to toy around with KOReader. I was already proficient with Calibre and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about KOReader.
Then about two months after getting my KLC I decided to get a Kindle(PW12se) to 'see how the other side lives', if you will. I ended up hating it so much. The Amazon walled garden was so lame and even though I could email books to my Kindle I hate how they edited my epubs I sent over and made them look worse. I ended up quitting after a week. I looked into setting up KOReader on my Kindle and it wasn't that hard. Three days later Kindle would update its firmware and I don't think it has been cracked yet(I could be wrong)
And finally, this year in July I got one of those XTEINK X4 micro ereaders. I was sold by a bunch of influencers making videos. It was neat for about a month until the novelty wore off and then I was back to my Kindle. I love the idea of this tiny ereader but the truth is I was never in a situation where my KLC or Kindle was too much of an encumbrance to ever necessitate the purchase of this device. I definitely regret it the most.
As for which I like better? I mean I mostly just read epub novels and they look better on the Paperwhite than on the KLC. The majority of my time is spent on the Kindle but I use the KLC to read Calvin and Hobbes. I used to have to go to KLC for Libby as I'm Canadian but I found a KOReader plugin that makes Libby work on the Kindle in Canada so I don't even need to open the KLC outside of Calvin and Hobbes.
To answer your question directly, I currently have a Kobo Libra Color, a Kindle Paperwhite 12th generation signature edition, and a XTEINK X4.
