What ereader or app do you recommend for text to speech narration?
Greg at another bibliophile reads recommends library thing as a Goodreads alternative. I hadn't heard of that website, but apparently it's run by librarians, and it's free without advertising, and it has a huge database. It doesn't have the features Story Graph has like stats and challenges and stuff, but the database is much bigger than Story Graph, apparently. So I'm definitely giving Library Thing a closer look as I read a lot of older books.
Yes, I've noticed that with other companies as well. First, they are great and then they start making things worse because they want to sell something. Take for example Google, they made advertising more and more important and now searching with Google is just not fun anymore. So I now use Duck Duck Go which I find an excellent search engine. I notice the same with other things, mostly software. First it's free and it's really great then they make a free version and a subscription version, and they make the free version just terrible to use in the hope you will take a far too expensive subscription.
I left Kindle behind with a different e-reader early last year. My Kindle was a very early model with the little round keys and the operating system got phased out. I went looking for a new e-reader and ended up with a Boox Leaf2 but still have the old Kindle account. If I need to buy off Amazon I send it to the Kindle with their 'load with USB' link, then take that file from my downloads on the desktop and Calibre can de-DRM it and swap it to epub. And that gets loaded to the Boox.
Have you catalogued your physical books? If so how?
I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching all evening. Thank you so much for all of your content, your love of reading, and congrats on giving up your Kindle. I prefer having books in hand, but since I'm running out of space lol, I'm going to look into getting a Kobo or another type e-reader. If anyone can recommend something that is reasonably priced please do. I just checked online for some prices and yikes.
I love reeding… I'm a tech enthusiast… but I will NEVER choose anything over a real book. SO MUCH BETTER.
I don't have any ereaders, but been leaning towards getting a Kobo Sage to read some of the ebooks and manga titles i've gotten from cheap humblebundles and fanatical bundles
I feel very alone about not owning an e-reader. I used to have an iPad that I tried to read books on but not a fan of reading on a screen I think. But I guess it is easier for people to get access to rare books.
Is there another eReader that let's you email books to it? Also, the Goodreads app no longer works on the Kindle Fire tablets.
Olly, I’m curious about library ebooks in your location, where I am I can’t use my kindle for library books so am considering getting a non kindle eReader for that reason, I have already got my library in Calibre so I’m not too worried about that side of it. In some places library apps are affiliated with Kindle. I’ve only just started to see people reviewing and sharing other e-readers other than kindle and kobo which is very interesting to me. (I’m in Australia)
Thanks Olly! I enjoyed this video and appreciate you sharing your views!
Watching you quit Kindle encouraged me to finally get a Kobo—the same color model as yours—and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
You make some really good points. I too am trying to move away from the Kindle system, but find that some books are cheaper on Kindle. In the past I saw a comment that Kobo would possibly price match. I haven’t tried this but I suppose it is another way to move away from Kindle.
Good for you! I can really relate to your reasons to ditch Kindle.
I love my Kindle and it’s the reason I’m reading so much nowadays.
I don’t have the advertising you talk about.
It’s a shame you feel you have to embark on this crusade to boycott Amazon.
I've had a Kindle in my Amazon shopping cart for weeks. Haven't bought yet because (1) no money and (2) hoping for a sale. Just removed it and started checking stats on other e-readers. Thank you!
Kindle is simple and works. Compatible with all kinds of devices and web browsers both new and old. In the US many library borrows are available on Kindle.
I have to say I love my old-school original Kindle. There’s something about its compact size and weight/feel that gives me real satisfaction – it’s like a magical paperback. I may try other e-readers down the line – wouldn’t mind having a bigger reader for graphic novels, etc – but I do enjoy the convenience of being connected to the Amazon store and Goodreads, and I’m not really bothered by the fact that Amazon dominates the market. They offer great prices and service, IMHO.
Do you prefer Kobo to BOOX? Maybe I missed that video….
I can’t find your StoryGraph handle in the show notes? I’ve been using that app for a few years and I really like it. Please let us know how to find you there 😊
I've been thinking about this as well. I think I finally figured out what I'm getting myself for Christmas. 🙂 Thank you very much for sharing your perspective. It's helpful. God bless.
Doesn't the fact that you bought those Kindle books at bargain prices and then removed the digital security cause you issues? Your stance would be more 'moral' if you deleted all those Amazon cheapos.
I fully agree with your thoughts on Amazon, but what is a good (and ethical) place to still buy physical books? Would love to hear if you – or anyone else – has any recs!
The majority of what I use my Kindle for are library borrows and I'm thrilled with it from that aspect since I'm down to one book store splurge a year. I don't imagine myself ever heavily purchasing Kindle books again.
I should probably keep Kobo in mind.
KIndle is one of the few positive things about Amazon, at least for me. I've saved a lot of money and not sure what the advertisement issue is?…so I'm kind of confused. I mean if you hate Amazon as a huge corporation then yes, I guess that's a reason to boycott kindle, but sorry I don't think the other reasons given really apply in any major way. If it's Amazon being too powerful that is getting to you, I get that. Bashing kindle app using non-issues seems a little bit sour grape vibe.
I don't know why I visualized a sentient Kindle with legs giving chase. Good luck with your escape plans.
Whats the overal advantage of having a dedicated E-reader as opposed to a tablet or your phone?
Hi. I'm considering purchasing a Kobo Libra Color tablet. Where would you suggest I go to learn the steps to follow to transfer my kindle ebooks.
I guess it's download the books, make the DRM free then transfer onto the Kindo? I initially did a search on what to do and there are so many hits, I'm not sure who's best to follow.
Any advice given would be very much appreciated. Please consider that I'm not THAT computer savy, so I'll need something easy to follow.
Thanks again. 😊😊
Calibre is great.
I've backed up my Kindle books with Calibre too, but I haven't taken the final step of actually getting a Kobo (or other e-reader). It's definitely something I intend to do eventually though, I'm glad it's working so well for you. And now you've got me making a Storygraph account too!
For the most part, I use my Kobo or Boox devices for a lot of the same reasons. I have only come across one problem in one series where the book isn't syncing and the table of contents is missing, so I can't jump to the chapter I'm reading. I had to go back to using my Kindle or the app for this series. I'm hoping it doesn't do it again in the next series since it's the same author. It didn't do it in the last series of his that I read. Not huge, just annoying.
Im sorry but dropping Kindles because Amazon is too big alone is ludicrous. What exactly does this mean? They have by far the largest ebook store in the world. Is that bad? Yes, they advertise to sell more ebooks. How does that impinge on your enjoyment of what you are currently reading? Focus on what you are doing and this is a non issue.
If you want to grow your YouTube views how about saying something worth reading. Complaining about Amazon on a Google app is ridiculous. (Talk about user abuse Alphabet is a god).. Maybe you should focus on how other ebook readers are superior (If in fact, they are – including their bookstore.).
I'm enjoying my Kobo(s). I have two color devices, the Libra (which I use for book series) and the Clara (that I use for stand-alone novels). They're really nice, both in UI and general reading experience. Slowly working on backing up all of my Kindle books and transferring them via Calibre.
If you haven't already, I would enjoy a piece on how you use Calibre to repurpose the books you have on your Kindles. I'm tempted to switch, too, but am intimidated by the prospect of transferring my several hundred titles.
Hey Ollie. Have you read A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series?
I've also moved from Kindle to my new Kobo Libra Colour and I'm really enjoying reading on it. I use different colour highlights for quotes, dialogue, character and plot. I've moved quite a lot of my (995!) Kindle books via Calibre to my Kobo. What I really enjoy is linking Libby to it, so I can read and annotate my Library Bookclub titles easily on my Kobo.
