- anvuong 2y agoI am using Calibre with my 6 inch Kindle paperwhite. I notice that it display the books bought from Kindle store a lot nicer than the same books but in .epub format sideloaded by Calibre. Do you know how I can improve this?
- static_motion 2y agoLikely there's a Calibre plugin to convert to Kindle's format. Kobo also supports .epub out of the box, but the software really works best with their .kepub format. There's a Calibre plugin which automatically converts .epub into .kepub when sending to the device.
- m463 2y agoThe other thing is that you can use the kobo without ever connecting to a network or setting up an account. (edit Kobo eReader.conf and add "SideLoaded=True") Because of this I would easily recommend it. I bought a clara 2e, loaded all my books via usb, and have been happily reading offline. I also have a remarkable 2, but the kobo has a backlight.
- gnicholas 2y agoMy main reason for trying it to see how good the color display was, and I wasn't too impressed. I was hoping it would work for BeeLine-enabled text (I'm the founder), and it's not quite vibrant enough IMO. Perhaps the next generation will be more suitable. Until then, we'll stick with Kindles, which are cheaper and clearer.
