My Kobo Aura H2O edition 1 is amazing. E-ink looks good, battery lasts awhile, waterproof, and you can jailbreak it and install custom firmware if you wish. There are alternative reader packages for it that are great, but the base OEM one Nickel is okay for most epub books and supports non-DRM. (Nickel also lets you "dog ear" pages, highlight, and take typed notes. you can refer to all your notes/highlights in a book through an index) It's also the only one I could find that takes a micro SD. Don't go higher than 32GB micro SD or it starts to act weird.
- ernie24 6y agoThank you for your reply! Would you like to share your experience with your Kobo and how it handles (technical) EPUBs?
- spazx 6y agoThe most technical thing I've used it for was a compsci textbook or a manual (either O'Reilly or similar) and it looked pretty alright under Nickel iirc. Depends largely on whether the code is rendered as text or an image.
