I read on an old Kobo, using Kepub files. Their Kepub renderer is quite good.
I think Kindle's renderer hasn't changed significantly for many years, and it had always been pretty bad. I always say that Kindle seems to have been created by people who hate books.
The best renderer around is iBooks on an iPad, which as far as I can tell uses an up-to-date Webkit.
- loloquwowndueo 2y agoThanks! I don’t like reading on a backlit screen (hurts the eyes) so iPad is a no-go, but a kobo would probably work!
- CarterATX 2y agoKobo Libra 2 is a great e-reader. Works well one-handed (screen rotates for left/right hands), has buttons for page turns. Integrates with Overdrive (what Libby uses). Drawbacks are Kobo's bookstore is weaker than Amazon/Apple. Screen is also not flush which means some dust can collect in the recess.
- _emacsomancer_ 2y agoI'd suggest KOReader, on various devices, as the best renderer and interface.
- avhon1 1y agoI read standard .epub files with KOReader on my Kobo Aura H2O. It's faster, nicer-looking, and more customizable than the stock reader, and the installation instructions were complete, correct, and easy to follow.
- ssbash 2y agoI also use a Kobo and occasionally an iPad. Do you know if it's possible to sync progress between the two. I've been meaning to try calibre-web, but I'm doubtful iBooks will support OPDS.
