But, can your Kobo reader handle the Kindle format?
What model do you recommend?
Chiming in: I love my Kobo Libra 2, which I think is now discontinued
and replaced with the Kobo Libra Colour.
It cannot read the kindle format natively (mobi/azw) but converting from
one to the other is easy. Calibre (already mentioned) can do it; there's
also a tool "kepubify" which can improve an ePUB's performance on Kobo
readers: https://pgaskin.net/kepubify/
Books purchased from Amazon are encrypted with DRM: this can be
reasonably easily removed with "deDRM" tools that plug into Calibre.
One thing I like about the Kobo is how hackable it is. I've got
syncthing on mine, so to add a book to it I merely have to copy the file
to my local folder, and syncthing does the rest.
