Looking for a good 6" device

Smoking_waters · 08-04-2023, 07:26 PM

Hi, first post here. I have a Kindle PW2 and a friend of mine travels to the US. I want to ask him to bring me a new e-reader one but i have trouble deciding which one.
Budget: ~150-200 USD

Things i want
- Warm Light
- Koreader Support ( for the file manager)
- USB C
- 6" with 300 PPI or more

I was thinking of Kobo Clara 2E but the koreader wiki mentions stability issues.
Can someone give me advice?

As far as I am aware, the issues with the Clara 2e were fixed.. The last item I saw on the GitHub support thread for the Clara 2e was to the affect most of the issues were fixed. @NiLuJe would be the best person to check with. The only person I know with a Clara 2e and using KOReader purchased the Clara 2e in April, 2023 and so far, has not said that they were seeing any issues worth complaining about. I'm assuming they would have complained in my direction since I was the one who helped them use the OCP package to do the install.

I like my Libra 2. I got mine via Walmart, but I forgot how much

OP, note that the Libra 2 is a 7" reader.

I recently got a Clara 2E and like it. It can do all your wants. Mine has been pretty well behaved (I don't use koreader).
