2014: Kindle Paperwhite 3
2018: Kobo Clara HD
2019: Kindle Paperwhite 4
2019: Kobo Libra H2O
2019: Kindle 5NT (inherited my Dad's old ereader).
2022: Kobo Libra 2

All of the above models work, and are still in frequent use. All of them are running KOReader.

As of 2022, all I can say is that I won't be buying any more Amazon ereaders of any kind. Too much hassle to jailbreak, no obvious advantages.

The day the Kobo Clara HD is discontinued, I'll be buying a second one, to keep as a spare. It is by far my favourite 6-incher.

And my favourite ereader overall, which I spend the most time with, is the Kobo Libra line.

Only reason I'm not still using my Aura is because the USB port became fiddly. I could still charge it, but it stopped letting me transfer books to it.

Only 2:
Sony PRS-505 from 2008 to 2017
Kobo Aura One - since 2017 to now
And I'm absolutely happy with my A1 reader, I haven't any reason to change it and think so change it only when colour e-ink has good colour space, brightness and contrast.

I hope the next Clara is waterproof and has 32GB storage (Carta 1200 would ne nice as well).

I know waterproofing is dismissed all the time, but I'm getting ready to go visit my brother in Seattle and go on a long boat trip. I'm trying to decide if I should take my Clara (which has far more books and amber lighting) or my 2015 Glowlight Plus (which has fewer books due to a smaller hard drive, but is waterproof).

I'm happy with a 6" screen, but the Libra is tempting since it has all my wants and a 6" device that appeals to me hasn't yet come along.

2012 - Kobo Touch (died and then came alive!)
2021 - Custom WaveShare screen with Raspberry Pi
2021 - Kobo Nia (screen broke last week )

The Kobo Touch story is interesting; my dad accidentally dropped it and it became a continuously blinking blank screen, so we got the Nia to replace it. About a year later, I opened up the Kobo Touch to reuse the microSD card for something else, but pushed it back in "just to try once more" and it came on! Perhaps the fall had just dislodged the microSD card.

Now the Touch stays home with the family while I carry the Nia around, but last week it developed lines on the screen so I'm wondering whether to get something multipurpose like the Boox Poke 4 Lite, go back to Nia or Clara, or maybe splurge on an Elipsa (if it's as hackable as the others).

So far, I've been quite happy with Kobo's lineup, and the fact that I can swap out the microSD card makes me feel safe while experimenting, so I think it's something I'd ideally stick with for the long run!
