I'd say I'll do the same and keep my current kindle which is second-hand anyway. Thanks for the tip with knock.

Yeah the integration with the bookstore has been great with Kindle and very convenient, but a big barrier to migration which gives me some pause before simply ditching one closed ecosystem for another.

Will check out koreader for sure

Definitely gonna check out pocketbook, it was mentioned by another commenter as well :)

Interesting that popular stuff is missing. Can you submit requests for missing content afayk? Qobuz has a request feature for music but so far nothing I've requested has been added 😫

I think this is worth looking into anyway. One of the things that attracts me to Storytel is the "unlimited" verbiage, i.e. not having to buy each book individually. Nevertheless you're limited by what they have in their collection. I guess it's a little extra effort to use a DRM free service and side load them to a device, but the advantages are obvious in terms of the actual ownership of the content.

Yep I got Borrowbox but the selection was quite limited and popular books are often unavailable and must be reserved.

I'm given to believe that Libby is better but unfortunately my library only has Borrowbox for now. Not a bad service by any means, just some in-built limitations 🤷

 

Any good suggestions for alternatives to Kindle and Audible? I'm looking at storytel, tolino, libro.fm, and also places like Casa del Libro, wondering if anyone's used them and if they're good?

Or another service?

I replaced google drive with koofr. Very happy so far! Still unsure what I'm doing about Google wallet/Google pay...

How are Heliboard and Here Wego?

Sounds like something you'd say before engaging in some good ol' fashioned extortion...
