cumpantry posted:i have also been looking into getting a kobo. specifically a clara 2e it's really good imo, i got that one last month or so. before i was using a 10 year old kindle with no backlight. having a backlight (esp with the blue light filter) is a gamechanger, and the ability to read epubs without loading 3rd party software. also i am reading 'the great mortality' which is about the black death and it's cool to read about medieval disasters

i was an 'i'll never read an ebook' person and then i used a kindle. the only physical books i buy now are reference books i need to flip through back and forth and weird books that can't be translated to ebook format easily, or are too old or obscure to have been digitized. idk about new kindles but the kobo has overdrive so you can check out library books it owns

im reading no longer human by osamu dazai. it's really good if you just read natsume soseki's i am a cat but it wasn't existentialist enough

kntfkr posted:Another translated book I really liked was Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata. this has been on my radar a while now, good to know it's recommended here. kokoro was my introduction to japanese literature and for a very very long time it was my absolute favourite. i think now i'm finding out they're all kinda my favourite, you read one again and there's always wordplay you didn't notice before that leads you to a sudden awakening of something entirely new. really beautiful
