eReader recommendations? (lemmy.ca)

I'm looking for an eReader that doesn't lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It's been years since I had one but in the market again and I'm not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

What made you choose Kobo over a kindle? I’m interested in switching to Kobo myself because I think I can view DRM free books on it and the smaller size seems nice.

I think it was price originally for me since there were sales.

I wasn’t too sure about how moving ebooks to the kindle would work and had mostly seen information surrounding kobo for it so I just tried it.

Reason I went with the smaller model first.

Edit* I think you can convert to .azw and just import to the kindle but I’m not entirely sure.
