At this point are the kobos among the best devices for koreader? Still debating if I should keep the libra 2 as a koreader host. I normally get a device freeze about once a week but I got a few this past week.

Device: The (orly) amazing Kindle Oasis 3

I can only recommend a Kindle. I used a Kindle 4 (with buttons), then a PW2 first with Coolreader and then with KOreader. It just always worked. No problems, battery lasted forever.
The last two years I had an Onyx Poke 2. There were minor problems every now and then. The battery died after two years. Then I tried a Pocketbook Era, quite good, but not quite seamless. The start on the sleep mode took a long time. And the device weighs a lot. So I bought a Kindle Oasis 3. Fantastic, Koreader works flawlessly. Super screen, light weight, quick start from sleep mode. Warm and cold light... Amazon sells good hardware. If you can get one with appropriate firmware, I can fully recommend. |

But a new Kindle likely can't run KOReader.
Any Android eink or other can easily. Some of them are better HW than a Kindle. Any Kobo can easily run KOReader and is good HW. The only reason to buy a Kindle is simple access to Amazon Kindle titles, or subscription to KU. |

I own a Kobo Clara E2 and has some issues and freezes at time and is super slow at other times but overall I'd say is not too shabby for what it is. A very cheap device for reading books.
Kindles only make sense if you use Amazon services for books otherwise they don't support MOBI out of the box and only work with their custom amazon format. So in conclusion I'd say Kobo are the best devices. KOReader makes the device many times more useful especially for reading PDFs and comic books. |
