A couple of things to consider:
Quote:
Kobo Libra H2O:
*relatively worse build quality as it is plastic
|
The Libra is plastic, but I don't know that it is inferior. Lots of people find the metal cold to the touch.

*no support for audiobooks
|
I don't understand the fascination with using an e-ink device for audiobooks. A phone seems so much handier for that.

Kindle Oasis:
*locked into bs Amazon ecosystem, where they can literally delete your books (see what happened to people's copies of 1984 after a publisher dispute with Amazon),
|
Why is Amazon's ecosystem bs? Everyone goes to that 1984 example. But that was a one off. And it was a book that was sold illegally. I don't blame Amazon for deleting those copies.
Anyway, if you want good customer service, Amazon is it. I love my Kobos, but I haven't yet had to ever interact with their customer service. From what I heard, repeatedly, it is no good. If you consider customer service as part of the ecosystem, it is no longer BS.

*no Overdrive support (also not sure about this one)
|
Not sure where you live, since you don't list a location. But Kindles can borrow books through Overdrive. Not as easy as on a Kobo, but not too bad.

*have to pay Amazon just to remove ads (seriously? on such a pricy product?)
|
That is tacky. The ads are Kindle's worst sin, in my opinion.
