I'm very happy I switched from Kindle to kobo. Kobo is not ideal but getting koreader/syncthing to work on it was a breeze compared to Kindle. It's a much less locked down platform, and it has usbc which got rid of the last micro USB cord I had in my backpack.

I bought a Kobo ereader, because I figured that being the same company as Libby, it would be really easy to use with library books and audio books.

It's not at all.

I should have known better, because the interface on Libby itself is almost unusable. There's no way to search books at a specific library. You have to search their store, open a book, click on a menu, then see if it's available in your library. It also works with audio books, but that functionality doesn't work at all with audio books borrowed through Libby.

I'd have been better off buying a generic Android ereader and running Libby on it, than to use their own product, with their own service.
