I've used a Nook. I could not get used to the software and eventually sold it. It was slow and had too few customization options for my taste. I'm fussy and want my text to look just right for me; for this purpose I need lots of options and the ability to sideload fonts. Kobo readers (heavily patched) satisfy my requirements; Kindles no longer do and Nooks don't either. KOReader has other faults that made it unpleasant for me to use (no library manager and slowness with large books), so I don't use it. Last edited by Sirtel; Today at 05:05 AM. |

Well, if you have any needs beyond simply reading the book as it is, then you qualify as fussy in the opinion of many people here.
![]() Personally, I'm certainly a fussy type even in my own opinion. Not in every area of life, but in several. As to ereaders, I was not really fussy until I started to try different brands; then I found I had specific wishes, of which I had not been aware before... Last edited by Sirtel; Today at 07:16 AM. |

I wouldn't say you are fussy. What is fussy about wanting an ebook to look the way one wants? I would say it is common sense. ![]() |

I think it is the (heavily patched) part that has kept me from trying Kobo. Don't get me wrong, I like my ebooks a very particular way. Just the right font, just the right size, just the right line spacing, just the right margins. Nook happens to suit that better than Kindle did. However, every time I look in the Kobo forum, all I see are discussions about patches that sound too complicated for me and I get scared away. One of these days, I swear I am going to buy a Kobo. LOL

I couldn't agree more. If you're going to be reading for a while it should be as comfortable as possible for your eyes. If that means you need your margins or line spacing or fonts for example just right, that's important. It's not like a printed book of one size fits all anymore. Now we're like Prince Adam "By the power of Grayskull. I have the Power(to change layout at my will and pleasure!)

Yes. You don't have to patch, it’s just a bonus. I did it, because it's pretty easy even for a person with no IT knowledge at all (like me), requires no rooting or jailbreaking and there's no danger of damaging your device. I found many of the patches useful. But patching is not necessary and there are plenty of Kobo users who never patch.
