I’ve got a kindle keyboard 3 and want to know if there’s anything better out now. My main requirement is being able to load in my own content and have a nice cover/case

I don’t care about apps or web browsers, but it would be nice to have something that is easy to sync or upload data to.

    I’ve been seeing a lot of good stuff about PocketBook. They support all major ebook formats. They’re also good if you’re privacy focused, though it comes at a price. Their privacy policy makes them the only brand I’d ever consider. Here’s a few links depending on your needs and budget:

    • Basic Lux 4 has a 6" monochrome display. This is their cheapest option.
    • InkPad lite is their biggest display at 9.7". An all-around solid, affordable option from them.
    • Era is a 7" monochrome display. I’m drawn to this one due to the functional bezel.
    • InkPad color 2 is a 7.8" color display. One of their most expensive options.

      I already mentioned this elsewhere, but if you’re concerned about privacy, you might consider Kobo as well; you can use their readers without having a Kobo account at all. That removes the store of course, but as long as you’re ok with side loading your books, you’re good.

      Hoping to hear feedback from anyone who has owned one

      If I had known about PocketBook I might not have bothered with my Kobo. But my Kobo Elipsa is nice.

      TIL: There are couloured ink displays now. Not sure if this is really necessary for my purposes though.

          Yeah I thought so too. But I’m not reading any comics or mangas, just plain old text books. But it’s great, that the technology is there.
