On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued “Download and Transfer via USB” feature to archive your Kindle library.

    Or go for the Kobo, which is similarly priced as the Kindle. The Kobo Clara Colour is £150

        That and the upgradeable storage… as soon as I can figure out how to solve my partition issues.

        Absolutely the reason I bought mine too. While we are probably a small niche, looking for this functionality was how I found Kobo in the first place.

      I’ve had three ereaders, all three were kobo.Yet I wouldn’t recommend them anymore. There’s a mandatory online activation now. There are ways to bypass it but it’s not great.

      Many models are unstable with KoReader so it’s not even an alternative anymore.

      The day I replace my eReader is going to be a hard day.
