Kobo
Here is a list of my e-reader must haves. In an effort to minimize my use of Amazon, I discovered Rakuten Kobo and was pleasantly surprised to find that I much prefer their devices and service.
This is the e-reader that I personally use, and I love it. In terms of hardware, the quality is impeccable. In terms of software/OS, the user experience is smooth and satisfying. I love that it connects directly to my library via Libby.
Kobo Libra Colour
Not only is this case protective and sleek, it is also chic and comfortable to hold! I love that it comes in a beige option (neutral girlies unite) and I love that it has a spot to hold the Kobo Stylus Pen.
Kobo Libra Colour Stylus Case
While this stylus is not at all necessary to enjoy the Kobo Libra Colour, it definitely adds some functionality. As the Kobo Libra Colour offers highlighting and notetaking abilities, the stylus is super handy if you like to annotate while you read.
Kobo Stylus 2
If you, like me, love to customize all of your belongings with stickers, then this clear case is the way to go! I have this case, in addition to the stylus case, and I love it! It fits nice and snug and protects the back of the device (as well as my ...

Lush Stationery & Trinkets for the Curious & Creative
This pen is a recent favorite of mine. One of the things I love about it is that you can refill the ink cartridge when it runs out, so you never have to worry about replacing the pen itself.
