Discover Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the beloved comic fantasy universe that’s brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonder. Start where it all began in the seminal novel The Color of Magic, which follows the misadventures of the inept wizard Rincewind as he serves as tour guide to Twoflower, Discworld's first-ever sightseer. The hapless duo’s journeys continue in The Light Fantastic and Sourcery, where the scale of world-threatening hazards (and accompanying absurdities) increase exponentially. You’ll get over 35 Discworld novels in all, touching all corners of this whimsical realm and all manner of its denizens, and you’ll help Room to Read with your purchase!

They are very good too. Excellent hardware, support open standards, integrate with library systems like overdrive, have modded OS software available.

Something that startled me and is kind of relevant: I bought a new in box Kobo Touch, manufactured in July 2011, battery died with the box still sealed in August 2011. The Kobo Touch was discontinued in 2015, 8 years ago, and when I broke the seal on the box and got it charged, the setup worked exactly as listed in the on screen directions. Going to the provided website redirected to the desktop app download, but the desktop app still supports it and there was a firmware update dated to April 2023 that added compatibility to the newly configured store. I was fully prepared to have to root it and install some janky custom OS just to get it to work but it's still supported and works out of tbf box despite being 12 years old
