I finally decided to buy an ebook for my birthday. Can any anon recommend which one should I choose?

I read a lot of positive reviews about Kindle, but it seem like you cannot use stuff from free libraries like Gutenberg Project (which would probably be my main source of ebooks). I don't know much about Kobo, but on the first glance it doesn't look as reliable as Kindle.
I'd really appreciate if someone gave me any advice.

Im connecting my kobo to my computer now. Do continue

You absolutely can use PG books on the kindle, you're just going to download the mobi file as opposed to the epub. Epub converts well to mobi, many of my hundreds of ebooks are converted and they're fine. Absolutely recommending a paperwhite, fantastic device.

Yeah, I just ordered myself a Kobo Touch 2.0. Should be here sometime during the week. Stay away from Kindles, IMO.
My old one developed a weird fault where the buttons would skip some pages.
And the plastic backing got stained and greasy.

You shouldn't operate devices after you've deep-fried your hands (again)

You do know that hands accumulate grease? I was just reading it. I had this red leather case for it, and had it on the Kindle for like a month.
I took the case off and it actually stained the Kindle. I'll post a pic if I can find my Kindle.

You sound like an exceptionally well-greased person, post pics

Well, I fucked that up, didn't I?

Have you tried cleaning it? Or being less greasy? Or just getting a cover?
>>
>>7975120
I tried using acetone to clean it.
It's not grease, it's stained plastic. And no, I don't trust them anymore. I don't want the Kindle to turn into a rainbow.
