Ebooks: Ereader or phone? (lemmy.world)

Just wondering how people read ebooks.

Do you have a dedicated Ereader device such as a kindle or Kobo, or do you use an ebook reader app on your phone?

I have Kobo Clara BW but I find my phone is more convenient. I do the majority of my reading on my iPhone using the Kobo app.

However if I’m flying out on a long train journey, I tend to bring my Kobo, mainly because of the much better battery life and bigger screen (with better reading ergonomics).

I have been using it for a few hours now and I can see that it's still in quite early stages of development. For some reason it doesn't use system default tts on my tablet. A lot of the menus are laggy(on both android and linux desktop). Has very little options. No way to import a full folder. No opds support yet and no RSVP.

I will stick with Librera for now as it also just started getting maintenance recently.

Understandable, but keep an eye on it like i said its getting updated often and your input could be useful to the dev if you submit reports or suggestions through github. The more users and support the better <3
