Amazon's Kindle Is King–Why Would I Buy This Other E-reader
I've got a struggle y'all. I've been using the new Kobo Aura H2O off and on for the last few weeks, switching between reading on it with reading on my overpriced but super damn slick Amazon Kindle Oasis . The two aren't entirely comparable: The Oasis costs $290 and the Kobo goes for $180.
