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 love my Kobo Libra Colour!

I have only good things to say about it.

great screen size
love the colour for covers when it's on standby, and for if you read anything with images
battery life is good
holds a ton books
works great with loading your own books from any source
the device follows right to repair guidelines so you can fix any broken part without having to buy a new device

That last point really puts it above and beyond any other e-reader out there!
