E-readers

So my Kobo has just died, predictably only a matter of three weeks outside the warranty 😢

I am hoping to try and persuade kobo to do something for me but if I can't get a repair or replacement what should I replace it with?

It must have E-ink I spend too much time in front of a screen to want to read on a normal tablet. It also needs to be EPUB compatible as I borrow books from the local library and must have a light so I can read in bed without turning on the light.

All ideas and recommendations welcome, those that are kind to my pocket will be even more welcome!

Thanks ! ☺

    Kindle Paperwhite - I've never regretted buying mine. If you use the Calibre programme you can convert any books not in the .az format, but there are so many thousands of books available for Kindle ereaders you'd have to live 10 lifetimes to read them all.

    Built-in light which doesn't glare at all, it's a soft light, which means you don't need a clip-on light or bedside lamp.
  • I love my Kindle Paperwhite - if it gave up the ghost tomorrow, I'd get another one straight away.
