Hi,
My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.
So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?
It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.
And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?
Update: I did research based on your recommendations. Thanks for all the input, that was way more than I expected!
I settled for the Kobo Clara Color since it seemed to almost perfectly match my needs and Kobo and the model itself got heavily recommended here and on the web.
This but a 7" tablet. And man, if I could find a current one that ran an older version of android that didn't have a screen lock enforced, I'd buy 10 of them. I hate waking up in the middle of the night and having the full brightness of the lockscreen in my eyes until I can swipe and get my max-dimmed FBReader screen. Never had that problem on Android 4.X
My m9 and s20 respect my brightness settings on the lock screen. Have you gone through the settings to see if something is forcing your lock screen to stay full brightness?
