@bsag thanks for the in-depth review. Been curious about Kobo ecosystem for a while. Will have to give it a fair shot once this Kindle is on the outs.

@bsag There's so much to unpack in that blog post! Especially as a kindle user who now rarely uses my kindle.

@mindofaaronw Thanks! I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m a fan 😁

@bsag Have you given up on Library Thing? I think it may have been you introduced me to it.

@BestofTimes Do you read mostly physical books then? I probably would too if we had more shelf space, but I do enjoy both ways of reading.

@bsag nice write up! I’ve got the same Kobo and really like it. I’m using it exclusively for the public library integration, which has been solid

@mroutley Thanks! The Libby integration seems like magic to me.

@bsag I tried the Kobo and I wanted to love it but I wasn't really impressed with how it handled imported ePub books and as I have years of books in Calibre, it was a bit of a deal-breaker for me. 😢

@bsag I do at the moment but need to start thinking about a phase of my life where I can’t just buy every book I fancy. The library will be good for that.

@bsag the Good Lady Psychotherapist and I are so far beyond storing books sensibly it could become an embarrassment.

@lostinhaste That’s a shame. I’ve imported a few books through Calibre, but not many.

@BestofTimes You should see our place - books teetering on every surface! We have been known to to watch period murder mysteries and completely forget about the murder and pause the scene so we can ogle the library shelves 😂
