I've been a Kindle girl for years. But then I spent three months sneaking around with a Kobo Libra Color and honestly? I'm not going back.

This is my full, honest breakdown of what it's actually like to switch from Kindle to Kobo: the ecosystem shock, the color screen glow-up, the annotation situation, and whether the Kindle Paperwhite can even compete anymore. I also tried the Kindle Colorsoft before this and returned it. So this isn't a hot take. It's three months of real use.
