I have a black and white one. My daughter has a colour one for graphic novels. If you’re mainly going to be reading text then apparently the b/w has slightly sharper lettering better for long reads

Kobo clara. Very good integration with the library’s electronic collection. I bought it for the same reason you are in the market and it worked like a charm.

imagine going back in time and seeing a triceratops fighting a stegosaurus and both sides are clashing with the cool horn weapons and then out of the trees comes a big stupidass iguanadon waving the little spiked thumbs around like he’s gonna join in. hell no

Incredible scenes in Genoa, Italy as 50,000 people join a procession to bid farewell to the boats joining the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza.

Over 50 boats from 44 countries, loaded with 100s of tons of food aid, have set sail to Gaza to attempt to break the Israeli siege.
