Help choosing new ereader
I have always had a kindle and now I want to leave the Amazon ecosystem. I don't want a Kobo either. My favorite kindle was the oasis. I loved the size and the side buttons. I also hated the size of my scribe. I don't care about color or note taking. Any suggestions for me?

Hi, if you want to give it a look: the Pocketbook Era has the buttons on the bottom, if it can be fine for you: https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/...ketbook-era-ch
or the Pocketbook Inkpad 4 (which is 7,8"): https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/...rs/inkpad-4-ch
This Era has the side buttons: https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/...ketbook-era-ch
Ps: check also the battery capabilities and the weights.

You might take a look at Boox Go 7. It will allow you to download all of your Amazon books and also add your favorite reader apps.

There's a comparison tool that you can use to select features you care about to narrow down to what devices might work for you: https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/

It's from a MR member who is very responsive to suggestions and additions: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=361308
