Which Kobo is best for you? (Kobo Comparison)

In this video, we compare each Kobo to see which one is best for you!

——————————————————

Hi there! My name is Maneetpaul Singh, but my friends call me Maneet (pronounced muh-neet).

I'm based out of NYC and make YouTube videos about Book Tech and digital reading.

Think of me like the MKBHD of books 😅

Whenever you’re ready, here are a few other ways I can help you:

1. Read a new book with me every month

2. Check out the books I’ve written

TL;DR:

Hey everyone! This video does not include the new Kobo Libra 2 and the new Kobo Sage. I have videos on both of those devices, if you're interested:

The most important advantage of Kobo over Kindle is FREEDOM. Kindle is basically tethered with a titanium cable to Amazon, whilst Kobo can support 15 different file formats, which means you can get a book from basically anywhere that isn't Amazon.

Literally just found your channel abt 30 min ago searching for a kindle vs kobo review and went down the rabbit hole… and now you post this! Amazing! Keep it up, you’ve got a new subscriber! ☺️

I love how concise your videos are. I usually skip through videos to get to the important information but didn't have to do that with you

[Rxke]

I like your honest reviewing. Not being afraid to point out the less good parts of a product is something I often miss in reviews.

[Netjerett]

Another outstanding review, can’t wait to see you become one of the biggest tech and ereader authorities on YouTube !

Love my kobo clara. It has warm light. Overdrive for library books and kobo plus (like kindle unlimited), I love the kobo system a lot better. Kobo is more accessible and I can get books from just about anywhere unlike kindle

Never watched this channel before but finally someone who just gets on with it. Love your work!

I love my Libra, don't have issues with the page turn buttons 😊

[NateNakao]

I absolutely love my Libra. My last e-reader was the Kindle Voyage, but I switched over to Kobo, and I'm so glad I did! The Forma is tempting though. Maybe I'll upgrade if the refresh gets USB type C.

Another great feature about the kobos is the built-in overdrive and dictionary features.

I have an Oasis and bought the Forma just to try it out. I now use the Forma 90% of the time. The screen size is perfect.

Kobo Clara HD user hereee! And so in love with this device!

[klaymoon]

For my old eyes, 9-9.5 inch physical books are most preferred. I wish either Kindle or Kobo will release an e-reader in that size.

[kimbats]

Exactly what I needed! Thank you for all your hard work and research 😊

[stephaniemcclure]

Page turn buttons are great. I have never had an issue with mine. I think your device has an issue. Being able to flip and switch hands with the buttons is the biggest + for me. I also use a kindle paperwhite and I miss this.

[Sciller]

Brilliant! I've been looking at the website for half an hour trying to decipher each's benefits, but ended up nowhere. Short, snappy, direct - perfect. Thank you, lad!

Kobo Clara hd ❤️
CONS:
-can't search/organize by file name.
-highlighting is clumsy.
-touch response a little clumsy but no biggie(though i have no kindle experience to compare)
PROS:
- nice clear display with good lighting flexibility.
-looks and feels great with a case(magnetic auto sleep when closed cover)+hand strap and kickstand.
-8GB is WAY more than I need. It could probably hold 2000+ epubs.
-good battery life, maybe 1-2 weeks for me.
-has a secret sketching app in the beta settings.
-has Overdrive/libby internally.
-no amazon ecosystem. Easy to sideload epubs.
-inspires a non reader like me to read more instead of getting pissed and depressed by internet comments sections 😂
-goes on sale for $89.99, regularly $119.99.

My man !!! What a wonderful review. Thanks a bunch.

[sunomono]

Thank you so much. Based on this review I omitted what I shouldn't consider buying from the list!
