I've been getting back into reading and while nothing will beat a physical book, having a device with multiple EPUBS seems like a good way to save space and money. After a bit of searching, I'm down to two options: Kobo (specifically the Libra Colour) and Boox (specifically the Go Color 7). I've discarded tablets because they're just a larger phone and thus blue light-induced eye strain. I've also discarded the Kindle because of Amazon's business practices. I known that Kindles can jailbroken (which I wouldn't mind doing) and I could buy one second-hand on eBay but I prefer to give my money towards a better competitor.

Which one do you think is better? Have you used their previous e-readers? How do they compare?

Thanks in advance!

I have a Kobo Libra Color and it's awesome for reading both books and comics (and anything color, really)! You can also use it to draw, though that functionality isn't super great lol. I've sideloaded everything from Anna's Archive (dot org) and haven't had any issues.

I've heard Boox are neat too, youtuber jvscholz has some reviews on their various models!
