I use a Kobo reader, mainly because I wanted to avoid the Amazon universe. Also use iPad, battery life is great and much easier to read outside without glare being an issue. I use Libby to checkout books from library and the Kobo will then sync with the library using Overdrive. A little clunkier than wife’s Kindle paperwhite but it works and nothing to Amazon.
