So to sum up my previous posts...
You can strip DRM from Kindle Unlimited books, just be sure to delete your copies afterward, and page forward through Kindle for PC so the author gets paid. |

It was just a thought. But I don't think one can put more than one library on a kobo. As to the linking. I'd never do that. Doesn't have anything to do with trust. We are both adults with our own CC, own way of buying stuff, etc. I had the kindle on my account when I gave it to him. He did not want to see all the books in the cloud. I own over 3000. Then he also depleted my gift card I saved up to buy my books. . And some of those books he could have gotten from the library. But he wants to get it when he wants. I do not want to share payment info at all. Because we use different cards for different purposes. He also sometimes ships stuff to his work and knowing him, he'd hit the buy button without checking the address. We are linked in the old way. I guess its grandfathered in as its not an option anymore. He only shares prime shipping, prime now and prime video. That was the old way. If I ever unlink that I am sure it would be gone. There was no sharing of CC or anything. I can't see his and he can't see mine. That is how I like it. |

But speaking of Libby, I wish it would check all libraries with same availability search, instead of having to search each in turn. It would also be nice if it could figure out when you have borrowed something from one library and offer to cancel holds for the same book that may exist at the other libraries. |

I have been a loyal Kindle user for years, and just switched today. I love my Clara HD, it wins over my 2nd Gen Paperwhite in every way that matters: storage space, weight and dimensions. I need a reader light enough and small enough to hold in my increasingly weake hemiparetic right hand, so the trend to devices around 8 inches is definitely not for me. After adding the "turn headers off" customisation, and sideloading a couple of devanagari fonts for when I need to read Hindi, the Clara is a dream to use. So light and so portable. The Paperwhite was good, the Clara so much better. Also, Overdrive library suppoirt is Kobo only up here in Aotearoa, so that's another big win for Kobo.
The Kobo shop is worse for sure, and the prices are dearer (not by much now that I've gone VIP), but being able to access my local library(s) is a great bonus. Most of all, I love that when I came home physically exhausted this afternoon, my largely decorative right hand didn't quibble about holding the Clara. Even better was the discovery that in its sleep cover it will stand on my thigh while I lie on the bed, making for hands-free reading that was not possible with my Paperwhite |

I wish I could sync sideloaded books on my Mini.
I miss that feature from the Voyage. |
