Just to join in the kobo love thread:
One reason that I love my Kobo is perhaps very tech-specific in a way this audience may appreciate.
It's great for plain text files. In particular, it's pretty good at reading plain RFCs. I have to choose a font size so the hard-wrapped RFCs fit right, and it doesn't ship with a monospaced font (but you can install and use your own fonts, so that's a minor speed bump).
Reading very dry and technical documents like RFCs can be challenging, so having a distraction-free ereader that handles them can be very helpful.
- fuzztester 3y agoThe Kobo software cannot reflow the hard-wrapped lines?
- mcpherrinm 3y agoIt wraps them, but doesn’t fully reflow. That especially doesn’t work for tables, diagrams, etc which many RFCs are full of. I think it’s best to just match the width.
- fuzztester 3y agoOkay, got it, thanks.
- Menu_Overview 3y agoI also love my Kobo. Only issue I have is syncing. There is no wireless sync, right? I have to plug it in to sync my library and tack on extra files. The Overdrive/Libby support is excellent, though.
