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.

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.

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.
