Comments and Reviews
A solid alternative to Kindle, from the eBook selection through apps and hardware. Books are in standard ePub format.
The app works well even on my eink tablet without too much tweaking, though it still wants to sell me more books before I can open the one I want to read.
The Clara is the best single-store eReader device I've used, supports Pocket and Libby/Overdrive out of the box, and makes it a lot easier to sideload books from other sources than Kindle does.
I took the Kobo Aura one for a spin. Is this the best alternative to the Amazon Kindle? http://www.geniustechtips.com/2016/10/06/kobo-aura-one-review-amazon-kindle-alternative/
