Oasis 3 as my primary ereader. I also have a Voyage, but I'm trying to sell that one, as I prefer to have one device.
I very very occasionally read on my iPad Pro as well, but I think that is about 1 book every 2 years or so |

I didn't count my Lenovo P10 tablet, which I use occasionally, and my Realme X2Pro phone, which I've been using a bit more often in the last week or two. I just ordered my Libra, for slightly less than the the normal price of a Clara here thanks to store credit. Looking forward to comparing it with my H2O2, and adjusting to the massive reduction in page turns, thanks to the 0.2 inch bigger screen size

I currently have three eReaders: My main long form reader is the Kobo Forma. I moved to Forma from the Kindle Oasis 2 based solely on the larger screen size. Larger print combined with eInk (plus wearing my reading glasses) is the optimum formula for combating eye fatigue in my old eyes. I still have my Oasis 2, but never use it. It is a great eReader and a nice compacts size for travel. The only reason I haven’t sold it is that Calibre requires an eReader ID for downloading Amazon books. I also have an iPad Pro 12.9”. I use this for PDFs and Technical books that include color. PDFs don’t look good on The Forma or the Oasis.
Thanks, Joe |

I started out reading on the old Kindle HD7. I then moved to reading on my Android tablet and phone. I picked up a pre-owned Nook for outside reading and used it until it died. I replaced it with a basic Kindle, and a couple years later, picked up a pre-owned Paperwhite which I currently use as my main reading device.
I probably wouldn't mind getting either a newer Paperwhite or a new basic Kindle (with the light), but can't justify spending the money since my current Paperwhite still works fine. |

I'm back to one e-ink reader now, my H2O2 has found a good home judging by the buyer's reaction, he said "I've been wanting this e-reader for a long time" - if he meant exactly that, then he's been wanting an H2O2, clearly a man of taste and discernment.

Hisense A5 (5"): Text only books, keep it in my pocket
Boox Nova 2 (8"): Manga Boox Max 3 (13"): PDFs, Graphic Novels Dasung HD-F: Work, hooked up to a MacBook Seems a lot, but I read 2/3 books a week so think it's worth having optimised readers. |

I have a 5" Kobo, the first iteration of Kobo H2O (6.8"), and a Pocketbook Inkpad 3 (7.8"), all in active use, and at the same time I am feeling a strong need for a Boox Max 3 or/and a Dasung. Last edited by mobama; 09-19-2020 at 11:20 AM. |

Is there a reason you don't use Kindle for PC for Calibre downloading?

Why would you need to re-download all the old books (assuming they are using Calibre for stripping DRM)? |

I have many e-readers, mostly for research. My main reading device is my Likebook Mimas, but I would sometimes use the Muses, Kobo Clara HD, or Kindle 7th gen Paperwhite. I primarily read comics and graphic novels, but illustrated novels too, and sometimes, technical documents.

I plan to do videos on some of them, and it might be hard for me to show all of them in a photo unless I fold back the case covers.
