I’m looking for an eReader that doesn’t lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It’s been years since I had one but in the market again and I’m not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

    Well this thread seems loaded with kobo shills.

    On that note, my kobo is solid and I’d recommend the brand to anyone looking.

    However I think Pocket support will be removed soon. Not really a deal breaker for me.

      What made you choose Kobo over a kindle? I’m interested in switching to Kobo myself because I think I can view DRM free books on it and the smaller size seems nice.

        Calibre should work fine with both Kobo and Kindle for transferring your DRM free books to the device.

      Haha I was coming in to say Kobo too. But yeah, Calbre + DeDRM + Kobo lets you pretty much drop any eBook you like in there and you’re good to go I think.
