Hey all, my Kindle Oasis finally died. I went to look at getting a new one and it looks like they’ve gotten rid of that model, so I’m in the market for a replacement. The two most interesting to me are the Libre 2 and the Boox Page.

I side load all of my books through Calibre, so I don’t need the Amazon store anymore. I like the idea of being able to load companion apps on the Page like Goodreads, but I wouldn’t use any of the other “tablet” features. I’m really just looking for the best e-reader that interfaces well with Calibre, has a nice UI, etc. I’m hoping you all can maybe make a case for the Boox Page over the Libre 2. I’m also going to post this in the Kobo thread just to get those opinions as well. Extra bonus points if you’ve used both.

And if you have a different suggestion, let me know that as well. I wasn’t a big fan of the form factor of the Pocketbook Era, but if something like that would be a better option, let me know.

Thanks!
