It wasn’t too long ago that I owned a Kindle. When I decided to read 100 books in 2020, my selection criteria reordered where form factor was less important compared to book selection. This was what I mentioned on book selection:
Amazon has a great selection of books. That’s why they still hold the top spot for reading on an e-ink based reader. However, I recently discovered Kobo, which integrates into my local library. So I can borrow a book, finish reading and return it, all on the same device without plugging it into my computer. This step alone will reduce the friction of getting a book onto your reader, and with a price tag of free, it’s a really hard deal to miss. There is a roundabout way to get it on Kindle, but less friction will always get you to read more and fiddle less. Most of the books I only read once anyway, so borrowing is quite the ideal situation.
The time has come to part with my kindle and prioritise having more books easily. So far, it has been working.
