I’m over here loosing my freaking mind because I finally got my physical books after so many years of pining and wishing I got it😭 Books are super expensive in my country so I can only manage to read through kindle or netgalley so finally getting my hands on these physical copies are making me so happy🙂‍↕️🤭

I just wanted to gush about it here, does anyone ever feel the way I do? Getting physical copies and loosing your marbles in absolute happiness?????

Hi boundlings!!✨

Life is going to get a bit unpredictable for the next few months and it makes more sense to get an e-reader (rip my physical tbr😭). I have never owned one before, nor borrowed one from a friend so I have no idea of what my experience will be like. But alas, it has to be done. I have narrowed it down to these two options: Kobo Clara BW & Kobo Libra Colour. (let's go canadian company). I have been looking at reddit threads (and past PB forum posts) but I figured I might as well ask people with specific experience with these e-readers and who better to ask than you!!! (people who, like me, are not normal about books hehe)

My main points of contention are:

• Size: Kobo Clara BW: 6" | Kobo Libra Colour: 7": Since I am only used to paperbacks, I wonder how different it is to read on a smaller screen and if there's a significant reading experience difference between the 6" and the 7".

• Colour: I don't care to have colour necessarily but I have read that the Libra Colour gets less bright and I do a lot of reading outside so I don't want to drain the battery so quick

• Buttons: Kobo Libra has buttons to prevent accidental touches. How often do accidental touches happen on the Kobo Clara BW (or the kindles for that matter since it's the same design)?

I am leaning towards the Clara BW because of the prize (Clara BW: $179.99 vs Libra Colour: $289.99). But I don't know if having a bigger screen/ buttons would be worth saving for.

I know it's all a matter of personal preference but if you could share your experience, I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you so much for taking the time!!

For extra context: this would be just to read books, not graphic novels or manga.

Genre swap a book (any book), what would change about the book if it swapped genres?

(This is going to be real funny I can tell)
