I went with a Kobo Libra Color for that same reason when I was looking for an ereader. Between being able to sideload whatever I want, the ability to self-host books and sync them with Calibre, and solid support with Koreade for .cbzs, it just seemed perfect in comparison. I don’t really bother with storage or expansion slot options, though, so you might have to poke around and see what’s there if that’s a main selling point.


That’s a tough one. Holding all the TTRPG books has gotta be quite a bit, but it really depends. I think Kobo’s max out at 32GB, which could be overwhelmed pretty quick depending on what hundreds of books actually entails.
If you end up getting stumped on it though and consider a fixed storage reader, look into Calibre-Web. You can set up book shelves (say, one for all of your D&D or one for all of your Pathfinder books) and then select which shelf to synchronize with the reader. So it’s literally just popping into your website, changing a checkmark, then pressing sync on your device and it downloads the entire selected catalogue (that feature might only be Kobo, though, I don’t know how other readers might work).
