E-reader: model, shop or vendor recommendations

[firsttimebuyer]

I was just wondering if anyone here has an recommendations for an e-reader.

I am looking to purchase an e-reader but I am a noob and lack experience.

I went down to the Challenger flagship store at Bugis, they had some Rakuten Kobo e-readers at the below prices:

Kobo nia: $149.9
Kobo clara: $199.9
Kobo saga: $399.9
Kobo libra2: $289.9
Kobo elipsa: $629.9

Or should I go for a Kindle? I found this website selling a Kindle paperwhite but I am not sure how it will turn out:

If you are considering to borrow e books from NLB

then consider kobo

I am using libra2 so I am happy with the purchase

of course it will be good if you can try out the display sets, but it is hard in Singapore

Do you find the screen size of the libra2 sufficient? As I get older, I feel my eye sight getting strained.

The size of the words can be adjusted

But of course, you can consider Kobo sage or elipsa for bigger screen

please note that newer models use USB C instead of micro USB

you can request for the box and “feel” the size, since the e reader pic shown on the box is identical size to the real one
