Hi.

I have an old Amazon Kindle Paperwhite that is showing signs of its age. So I have to start thinking about replacing it.

So I have been really happy with both the Paperwhite and the Kindle store. But I have realised that I should be moving away from Amazon as it's not really a company I would like to keep supporting.

So what are the current best options out there. Mostly reading non fiction books, so no need for colour. But a bookstore with a good selection is critical.

Photo unrelated. But a great read/listen about the dust-bowls in the 1920's.

I gave up on my Kobo Clara 2 when it would become completely unresponsive. Not saying all Kobos are bad!

I ended up getting a second-hand Tolino e-Reader in Germany for about €50 with a backlight. I have been able to import all of my Kobo ebooks there and have no issues so far!

Bottom line - unless you’re really looking for the “best” have a look at older gen second hand
