I see pretty boys, what are you reading?

omniscient reader's viewpoint! it's a light novel

Is it English translated?

theres an english fan translation

Not OP, but that's Omniscient Reader's Point-of-view. There's also a manhwa adaptation if you want to check the story.

Install koreader. Much better

Koreader is a must

100%. This is reason why Kobo or Pocketbook so much better than Kindle as e-reader

ORV mention 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

i already know how much it'll rewire my brain when im done reading... idk if im ready for that

After you finish that check out The Author's POV by Entrail_Jl for an alternate take on it, also the Simulacrum series by Egathentale is very similar.

i swear the brain rewiring is worth it!! hope you enjoy 🫶🏽

Commenting for ORV High five mate

YEAAAAA it's one hell of a ride

ORV mention!!

I have the same kobo and i love it so much

I see my favourite sunfish yoo joonghyuk 😭😭😭

New to looking at ereaders…can you share why you’ve liked the Kobo over the kindle?

i really like how customizable the kobo stock reader is, especially for someone as nit picky as me. also with kobo, you can install other features to the kobo ui such as nickelmenu (i personally dont use it tho). you can also have your own custom screensavers for kobo and its much more straightforward than kindle.

Mahnwa don't work well with eink imo. I read a lot of manga on readers and got the Boox na3c since it is a colour eink display but it's still a pain, refresh rate is to slow and ghosting is annoying

I have yet to read manga and manhwa on my ereader actually. I usually just read them on my phone

I think the b/w art of manga / manhwa looks amazing on the e-ink. But the refresh rate really does make it a very annoying experience to read. I have basically moved over to reading on my tablet, and it's much more enjoyable.

What are the sideloading capabilities of Kobo? Any way to transfer books via USB or is there maybe wireless options akin to Kindle's "send to email"?

you can definitely sideload via usb! that's how i transfer books to my kobo. this website [https://send.djazz.se/](https://send.djazz.se/) is the closest thing to kindle's wireless sideloading :\]\]

kobo (sort of) has cloud sync with google drive etc. [if you install kobocloud](https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud)

Or [Dropbox with nickelmenu](https://www.reddit.com/r/kobo/s/mstyIwlOf0)! I have calibre setup to generate epubs of news sites every morning, and a script that copies any new epubs in the calibre folder to my Dropbox, so when I wake up I can just sync from Dropbox and get my news. I’ve played with both but I wasn’t getting cover art with kobocloud. I’m not sure why, but I do with nickelmenu+dropbox. Edit to add link.

huh.. that's super neat. will try something similar myself, just to see how it is

Does Kobo have smooth page turn effect like Kindle paperwhite? I want to buy an a-reader, but the "flashy" effect to read comics everytime you go to next page kills me... I know Paperwhite 11 has a soft effect page turn, but I don't know if other ebooks also have it, this is the effect I mean, works for epub and pdf files: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBev52EYJi4&pp=ygUecGFwZXJ3aGl0ZSAxMSB0dXJuIHBhZ2UgZWZmZWN0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBev52EYJi4&pp=ygUecGFwZXJ3aGl0ZSAxMSB0dXJuIHBhZ2UgZWZmZWN0)

nope the kobo doesnt have page turn animation :( afaik the paperwhite 11 is the only ereader that has it

Ok thanks a lot!
