Pros
- I’ve had two kobos, an Aura from 2013 and recently purchased a Libra 2. The old one still works great, but I appreciate the ability to customize the backlight to a warmer color, an it also seems to have a better range, capable of lower b...
- I can't compare my 12 year old Aura with the Kindle that was with me for 10 days before I asked for a replacement due to problems. ... by moving books to the Kobo via USB in 12 years I have only purposely recharged my Kobo 2/3 times.
- I’m very loyal to my Kobo since it has been so loyal to me. My original Aura device is probably 12 years old and I’m sure you could find one secondhand within your budget.
- when I upgraded from my old Kobo Aura, I really was looking at those Boox devices closely.
- I had my first Kobo for 12 years. That thing has been so well-supported on the software updates, it has been so reliable… Old device was the first edition Aura
Cons
- Don't get me started, I am still mad that they discontinued the Kobo Aura.

- Parent context: I just factory reset my aura and it's such an awful experience that I'm looking for something better. I don't want to create an account, connect to wifi, get recommendations, need that connection to the internet to read a...

I’ve had two kobos, an Aura from 2013 and recently purchased a Libra 2. The old one still works great, but I appreciate the ability to customize the backlight to a warmer color, an it also seems to have a better range, capable of lower brightness which makes nighttime reading even more pleasant.

I used to have that old Aura. I kinda miss it.
Today my trusty Kobo Aura turned 11 years and 1 month. It still works like charm, maybe the battery life might be decreased.
Parent context: I just factory reset my aura and it's such an awful experience that I'm looking for something better. I don't want to create an account, connect to wifi, get recommendations, need that connection to the internet to read a book, enjoy the un-deletable "opportunity to download" things, I just want to copy epubs to a device and read them.
