yeah m8 its gonna have to be a kobo as far as I know
none of the in-stock "certified refurb" options kobo has are a good price, at least not from my end. tho if you aren't looking anytime soon, or for others reading, it looks like their refurb page could have some good deals. that Clara op mentioned has a "reduce blue light" feature and its less than a hundo if it were in-stock
secondhand market? eBay???????
I got no problem shopping secondhand just wondering what models I should be looking for these days.
oh yeah I get that. when I was looking at the refurb page most of the models listed that had the comfort light feature had that feature listed along with them. for the most expensive option, I had to go Ctrl F the store page to confirm it also had it
us ver https://us.kobobooks.com/collections/certified-refurbished-ereaders
even if they're sold out there, i was using this as a buying guide / reference. seems like a lot of the models have that feature
im sure some of the oooolder models might not stack up but I have a soft spot for these things for some reason. I think any ereader that lets me read PDFs and has an eink display will p much win for me
e: I have a libra 2 but thats still a fairly new model so even tho I highly recommended (and it does have the warm backlight) I dont think anyone is gonna part with it for a good price
Ive got a kobo libra 2. It's about the height of a paperback, a little wider, has a warm backlight and has buttons. No scrolling like a kindle, not sure if that matters to you or not. I also haven't attempted to read PDFs on it but I know they're supported. They retail for ~170 USD, used seems to be 120 on the low end.
I was also looking at the kobo clara before I pulled the trigger on the Libra. The only reason I chose the Libra was for the buttons. The Clara has warm light as well so that would be a good option for you. They can be had new for ~130 USD and a cursory glance through eBay shows them going used for ~85-110
Edit: just re-read your post and saw you had a Clara before lol. My bad!
