I’m looking for an eReader that doesn’t lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It’s been years since I had one but in the market again and I’m not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

Well this thread seems loaded with kobo shills.

On that note, my kobo is solid and I’d recommend the brand to anyone looking.

However I think Pocket support will be removed soon. Not really a deal breaker for me.

What made you choose Kobo over a kindle? I’m interested in switching to Kobo myself because I think I can view DRM free books on it and the smaller size seems nice.

Haha I was coming in to say Kobo too. But yeah, Calbre + DeDRM + Kobo lets you pretty much drop any eBook you like in there and you’re good to go I think.
