There are a bunch of resources worth checking out before you decide, for the most important points I'd recommend checking out the following links: If you are not in a hurry and have the budget, the reMarkable 2 is around the corner, it comes with a 10 inch screen and the ability to take notes or annotate PDF files, it's an interesting device for PDF reading/students IMO (there are other 10 inch or more devices as well, but they are very expensive, the reMarkable is expensive as well but currently a bit cheaper if you can order now and wait several months). If you mostly read PDFs it should be fine. You have to launch Koreader first, and then open your PDF file. It's not complicated to install on Kobo ereaders but it's not well integrated: you can't have your PDF books listen in the Kobo's main interface and just click on one to get it to open in Koreader. Kobo software is very poor for PDF reading, but you can install Koreader as another user mentioned already. It is is supposed to be more durable than glass based screens as it's almost impossible to break.īeing a student as well I tried a bunch of Eink readers to find out that many of then aren't good at reading PDFs. 7.8 inches is the minimum for PDFs in my opinion, and the 8 inch screen of the Kobo Forma seems to be a Mobius screen similar to the screen that are or 10/13 inch models. IMO you'd be better with a Forma if you can afford it. So, basically if you are willing to fiddle with your PDFs with k2pdfopt it is possible to use a Libra for this, although, not optimal or ideal, if not then you need to shell out for a more expensive larger screen ereader.Īlso, k2pdfopt does not have a Libra device profile yet so you need to enter the resolution manually into it 1440 × 1920 and windows has a GUI for k2pdfopt while the Linux version is all command line. Your mileage may vary you may find KOreader to be the best option which I would understand. KOreader is generally better than Plato at reading PDFs but I can't figure out how to put a buffer space for margins on a k2pdfopt optimized PDF on KOreader it runs to the extreme edges of the screen realestate where with Plato it is simple to add a comfortable margin around the PDF and you can even use highlighting and an installed dictionary unlike the stock Kobo reading software too with Plato and Koreader. I think if you are willing to run k2pdfopt on PDFs then there almost no PDFs or no PDFs that the Libra can't handle even it is not the most optimal device for this and I would recommend Plato and KOreader. You can use KOreader on the NOOK but it is a harder process than installing it on Kobo. Actually, the NOOK Glowlight Plus has the the minimum screen size I would recommend for heavy PDF reading which is 7.8/8 inches while the Libra is 7 inches. Hmmm, I guess you are saying the 'Libra' rather than the Forma for price reasons ? Obviously, the bigger the screen the better.
