Is this a good area to be discussing books and ereaders?
The Kobo Libra H20 is the one I am looking at.
Quite seriously actually.

I have two hand-me-down Kindles - an ancient one and a more recent paperwhite model. Since they own the biggest ebook seller and the
hardware, it's easy to get locked in. Will the Kobo let you
side-load books via USB, or do they have their own store?

There's no topic off topic here, and we don't have a book echo
anywhere on Fidonet, so fire away!

Do you know what ebook formats it uses?
Lately, I've been getting more books and texts from the internet and
using Calibre to convert them to .mobi format. Lately, I've been
finding a lot of text and pdf references on the net and converting
them, as a pdf converted in Calibra looks a lot better then if you use
the kindle mail send-to feature.

I don't see why not? This is a general talk-about-anything kind of echo.
The "read in landscape orientation" is new.
$45 for the slipcover seems expensive.

I pulled the trigger on a Kobo Clara.
The other new ones have problems that I was not prepared
to put up with.
Kobo Libra H2O. Parts of the screen were not lit up and
it was from one side or another.
The top end Kobo has a Display that flashes to maintain
brightness. Could be trouble at best it is enough to give
you a headache.
Kobo's now have an orange candlelight mode for reading in
the dark. All of them have it including the ability to
borrow library books.
Very nice.
It fits in my oilskin vest pocket better than anything
else did (OK, Kobo Glow with no case). This one goes in
with the case.
The case also doubles as a reading stand.
