Yes the Clara BW is easier to put in a bag because it's smaller. But all you have to do is make sure you get a bag where the Libra 2 fits. That's what I did. If I needed to cart around a larger Reader, I'd get a new bag. |

If I was to get a bag for my reader, I wouldn't want it to just "fit", I would also want it to be easy to get in and out.

I've used only ereaders with physical buttons for 13 years. The buttons on every single one of them have never stopped working. But then I treat my devices gently.

The other reason is that some ebooks have problems that make them incompatible with your ereader. A well known one for Kindle users is the representation of special characters in some epub documents. Ellipsis, long dash, etc. They get garbled by the Amazon cloud document converter. With Calibre, you can convert an epub to an epub. It will change the representation of those special characters and the Amazon cloud document converter will convert to the proprietary Amazon azw3 format properly. I also use Calibre to add or change covers, fix the metadata, and occasionally edit style sheets. With my current Kindle, I have it permanently in airplane mode and use Calibre to side load ebooks to my ereader. I'm in this thread because the Paperwhite has a few annoying things that have me looking for another brand. I could move to a Kobo in minutes since everything is already in Calibre and in epub format. I'd probably want to make one pass at all the metadata to clean it up before pushing everything to a Kobo. Kindles don't do anything with the metadata so it's not 100% accurate in my ebooks. |

I just noticed that quite a few of my Nook books are no longer available. Even after downloading the books to my PC, to Nook PC website, and to my Android phone via the Nook app, they will not open. I wonder if the author pulled the books to update them.... regardless, about 20-25 books cannot be found.
