Jon A. Cruz<p>Wondering if the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Kobo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kobo</span></a> "10V" power adapter is actually a 10W adapter.</p><p>I assume marketing people/corporate web designers have no clue?</p>
aphex twink<p>i got my kindle some years back when i was just starting to understand the kind of shit companies like amazon do and now have a few books i bought that i haven't downloaded from the kindle store. anyway, i guess I'm too late for that anyway. </p><p>but off-late, I've been thinking about moving to something more in line with my philosophy and Kobo seems like a good place to move. i was, however, unable to find any online stores in india that sell Kobo eReaders. does anyone have any leads for this?</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>help</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/kobo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kobo</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ebook</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a></p>

Russell Phillips<p>For some time, I've been trying to avoid buying from <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a>, and I recently discovered something that helps me with that.</p><p>If you buy an <a href="https://historians.social/tags/eBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eBook</span></a> from <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Kobo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kobo</span></a>, then find it cheaper at Amazon or anywhere else, they'll refund the difference plus 10%.</p><p>Last week, I had occasion to test that out. I bought an eBook from Kobo for £4.99. Amazon had the same book for £2.99, so I submitted a price match ticket at <a href="https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/p/pricematch-about" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kobo.com/gb/en/p/pricematch-ab</span><span class="invisible">out</span></a></p><p>1/2</p>

Zenek73<p>Ma tu ktoś Kobo Libra Colour? Strasznie mnie kusi ten czytnik zwłaszcza biały ale boję się tej kolorowej wersji bo w sumie to po co mi kolory. Tyle że do okładek. Brak Legimi chyba bym zniósł bo korzystał bym głównie z biblioteki ale mógłbym mieć czasami na wyjazdy albo jak tylko eBook dostępny.<br>Na Kindla jakoś nie mogę patrzeć :)<br><a href="https://101010.pl/tags/kobo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kobo</span></a> <a href="https://101010.pl/tags/ereader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ereader</span></a> <a href="https://101010.pl/tags/czytnikebookow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>czytnikebookow</span></a></p>
