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 Glo, older model, but I flashed the SD card with INKBOX/Quill-os. They changed the name, but I don't remember which is the new name. Open source OS, i swapped the SD card with a newer larger one. The project is on hold while they port the OS to the Pinenote.

I absolutely love it. Open OS, doesn't phone home, no questions where it got the books.
