goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers kobo aura one - a near perfect ereader - october 18, 2017 by albert silver

the first, sorry to say, is that question of the ecosystem. i am perfectly willing to buy an ebook from the kobo store so long as i am not paying extra for the privilege. there is talk about pricematching, but kobo themselves state that it is not universal and subject to approval (amazon is no different), so when in doubt, i just buy it from amazon. this brings up the issue of accessing my not insignificant number of ebooks purchased through amazon, and that one might worry are locked into their ecosystem. luckily this is not true. downloading and converting my kindle ebooks to read on the kobo is very easy once you know how, and requires using cailbre, an ereader software swiss-army knife, and a few plugins that remove the drm and do the conversion. the entire process can take a couple of minutes, from download to copying to the device, but is fairly painless.

it needs to be pointed out also, that if you plan to sideload ebooks (meaning add ebooks via cable from your computer) knowing how to convert to the kepub format is useful as it is the only format that supports the page counts in chapters.

pcworld.com/article/3245384 rakuten kobo aura one limited edition review: keeping up with the kindles isn't easy what was once a potential kindle-killer is now playing catch-up. by séamus bellamy pcworld | jan 2, 2018

when the kobo aura one was released in 2016, with its large, bright display and exclusives like pocket and overdrive integration, it had the potential to be a kindle-killer. it was a flagship device that cost less and arguably did more than amazon’s kindle oasis. in 2017, however, the kindle oasis has caught up, and the limited edition has little new to offer. unless you’re tied into kobo’s ebook ecosystem, or resisting the inexorable pull of amazon, the excellent 2017 kindle oasis is likely your better bet for a premium reading experience.

Nook File Formats

dummies.com/consumer-electronics NOOK File Formats: EPUB and PDF By Corey Sandler

The NOOK Color and the NOOK Simple Touch work with files created using one of two eBook formats: EPUB or PDF.

The EPUB format is free and open, meaning that anyone can produce and distribute a file using this standard.

An EPUB file is reflowable, meaning that the text can be fine-tuned to the demands of nearly any electronic reader or to the personal preferences of any human reader: typefaces can be changed, their size adjusted, and other attributes modified.

Unprotected EPUBs are commonly used for distribution of books that are no longer under copyright.

Protected EPUBs include Digital Rights Management, encoding intended to limit the use of the file to a single purchaser, an individual machine, or to set a time limit.

Yeah, avoiding ‘vendor lock’ seems to be so important before you actually buy a reader. But once you’re familiar with Calibre and Alf, you realize that no reader needs to be locked to any vendor. At that point, it’s just which hardware/software combo most appeals to you.
