New e-reader purchase
I just got a new e-reader and I love it! The screen is really clear, the size is great for reading on the move, and the battery lasts a long time. I think it's a great choice for anyone who loves to read and wants a new device.
E-reader purchase for bedtime reading
At first, I was a bit unsure about switching from regular books to an e-reader, but I have to say, I am completely sold on it now. I got it mainly for reading in bed, and it has gone above and beyond what I expected. The device is so light and easy to hold, which is great for me since my wrists and hands aren't as strong as they used to be. And I love the low light setting for reading at night without bothering my partner. All in all, I'm really happy with my e-reader.
Ebook Reader
This ebook reader has been a game-changer for me. I've tried Kindles and tablets before, but they were too big, slow, and didn't support different formats. This reader is just right size-wise, speedy enough, easy to hold, and works with epub and pdf formats (mostly). I mostly use it for pdfs, and although zooming can be annoying, reading in landscape mode is smooth. I like the paging function for viewing two pages at once, and the reading options are awesome. All in all, I actually want to read more with this device, which is a promising sign!
Kobo eReader purchase
I got my eReader a few months back and I was really looking forward to diving into all these books! But then the screen just froze on me and I couldn't do anything to fix it. I didn't have the receipt and Indigo wasn't willing to help me out. So, I decided to reach out to Kobo and even though they couldn't track my purchase, they were super friendly and ended up replacing the entire device for free! Seriously, best customer service experience ever!
Sleep cover order issue
I just had a little issue with my sleep cover order - got a sleeve that doesn't fit my reader. But Aprille and Denn from customer service helped me out real quick. They told me how to return the wrong item and gave me all the info I needed. Even though I type slow, they were nice and patient the whole time. Really glad for their help and how they fixed everything fast.
Ereader purchase
I just bought a new ereader that's similar to a Kindle. The buttons are user-friendly, and I really like how it works with Pocket and OverDrive. But, the only thing that bugs me is that I can only use one library card for OverDrive at a time. So, I have to keep logging in and out if I want to switch between library books. If they fix this problem, I'd definitely suggest this ereader to others.
Recent e-reader purchase
I recently bought an e-reader that I like overall, but there are some annoying problems with it. The e-reader itself is good for reading, but I've run into a few frustrating glitches. First off, it takes forever to sync or update whenever I turn it on. This slow process can be really irritating when all I want to do is start reading. Also, some of the books I've downloaded mysteriously disappear, making me have to download them again, which is a huge pain when I'm offline. The e-reader has an email feature that doesn't work properly, so I end up having to reach out to customer service through a bad phone connection or typing out all my issues slowly.
Kobo Libra 2 e-reader
I'm really loving the Kobo Libra 2 e-reader. The battery lasts forever, the screen is super clear, and the lighting is just perfect for getting lost in a book. I also love how easy it is to borrow free books from the library using Overdrive and Libby. The design is sleek and it feels great in your hand, making it perfect for long reading sessions. If you're a big reader, I definitely suggest checking out the Kobo Libra 2.
eReader purchase review
I have to say, I am really impressed with my new eReader that I bought recently. The device feels great in my hands, it's just the right size for me and I love having the extra page turning buttons on the side. The screen size is easy to read and I like that I can adjust the brightness settings to suit my preference, even using natural light modes for reading at night. The sleep cover is soft but also tough, so I can toss it in my bag without stressing. And let me tell you, there is no shortage of books to choose from. Overall, I am super happy with my purchase.
Ereader purchase
The Ereader is awesome to use, even though it's a bit heavier than smaller models. I love the full page view and how responsive the screen is. I mainly bought it because of the size, but I was really impressed by the script-to-text feature. Just a heads up, not all USB-C cables work with the reader, so don't lose the one it comes with.
Clara Color eBook reader purchase
I recently got the Clara Color eBook reader, and I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with the user interface. It looks way cleaner and nicer than other e-readers I've tried before. The color feature on the Clara Color model is a cool addition - I like being able to see book covers in color, it really adds to the whole reading vibe. Although, I did notice that the color feature kind of takes away from the contrast and clarity of the black and white text a bit, especially when you compare it to the Clara 2E model.
Libra 2 e-reader
The Libra 2 has been awesome so far! I've had it for a few weeks and it's really exceeded my expectations. The lighting is super helpful, especially when I'm reading in dim rooms. The text is so clear and easy to read, it's made reading even better for me. The only downside is that I've had a bit of trouble getting books through Overdrive. But it's not a big deal, and it hasn't stopped me from enjoying using the device.
E-reader purchase for son's birthday
I just bought an e-reader for my son's birthday and he is so happy with it. It's the exact one he wanted, so I had to make sure to get it for him. He loves how easy it is to hold, read, and carry around because of its size and weight. The delivery was super quick and the package was secure. But, the only thing I wasn't too happy about was that the courier didn't follow my delivery instructions. It could have been bad if it had rained, so it's really important for them to listen to what the customers ask for.
Replacement device purchase
I got a new ereader because my old one wouldn't charge properly. This new one is nice and light and comfy to hold, but it does have a few downsides. For one thing, it doesn't turn off by itself, which is a pain. And the power button being on the bottom edge now is a bit trickier to use than when it was on the back in the top right corner.
Ebook selection variety
I really like the website because it's easy to find what I'm looking for with so many genres to pick from. The Kobo plus subscription is a sweet deal for bookworms like me. The only bummer is that there aren't a ton of choices for the free annual book for VIP members.
E-reader for college textbooks
I was totally excited when I came across this e-reader that's just what I needed for my college textbooks! I was looking for something smaller than my iPad but with a screen that wouldn't tire my eyes out after hours of reading. And you know what? I found this gem available for pre-order! It's super easy to upload my textbooks, connect to my library, and even make annotations with the stylus - how awesome is that?! Shoutout to the Kobo team for making such a fantastic product at a reasonable price!
E-reader purchase
I just got myself an e-reader and I'm really digging into all the cool features it has to offer. I'm especially curious about the pen feature, although I'll admit I'm still figuring out the best way to use it. Even with all that learning, I have to say I'm really happy with my purchase so far.
E-reader purchase
As someone who's been using e-readers for a while now, I've bought quite a few of them over the years. But one thing that keeps happening is the screens freezing up and not responding after a while. It's really frustrating because I really like using them. I've wondered if it's my fault somehow, like if I'm handling them wrong or something. So, to try and make my current e-reader last longer, I got a protective cover to hopefully stop any more issues from popping up.
Fun and Colorful Ereader
This e-reader is perfect for me. I love all the colors on the screen and they make reading even more fun. The fact that it's waterproof and repairable is like a bonus. I'm really happy with this purchase overall!
Third E-reader Purchase
Hey y'all, just gotta say, this is my third time buying an e-reader in the past ten years, and I am so impressed with how great it is. The interface is easy to use, the device itself feels really solid, and the e-ink screen is just beautiful. Since I'm always reading, this e-reader has really gone above and beyond what I was expecting. I totally recommend it to any fellow bookworms out there wanting a high-quality reading experience.
