Upgrade from Nova Pro to 3, worth it?

NightGoat · 05-03-2021, 09:59 PM

My Nova Pro is working fine, battery is good.
It’s not unbearably slow but notice how much snappier my Poke 3 is.
I don’t really use it for notes, not for audiobooks either, basically my ultimate ereader at bedtime.
Has anyone updated from Pro to 3 and felt it was worth it...or not?

I guess it would be faster if you upgrade from Nova Pro to Poke 3 (at least 2X). At the same time I keep asking myself "What Android App would I install on my ereader"? Then suddenly I dropped the requirement of having an Android ereader.

Currently I am considering Kobo Libra H2O because

I could export all my purchased/borrowed book into epub format
I want to use Pocket on my device (that's why I ruled out Kindle Oasis)
I want to use sync my epub (Kobo Forma can sync with dropbox)
I want to read comics (Kobo Forma is good but it would be too big to carry around)
I really love the side button
I want a lighter ereader

I really really prefer Kobo Forma but it would be too big to carry around. That's why I am considering Libra H2O.

I upgraded my son's NovaPro to a Nova3 when the battery died (and I have a Nova2). We mainly use them for manga. Him about 5 hours a day so I wasn't too worried about wear after a couple of years.

Whilst in a book, there's very little difference.

Fast-charging and usb-c were nice little upgrades. Faster wifi Pro>2 was a big plus.

Massive speed upgrade opening, and switching between apps from NovaPro>Nova2. Then the Nova 3 was an additional bump.
