Amazon dominates the ebooks sector with iron fist, especially because their store is the world’s main digital book store, but also because the Kindle are the most popular readers.
This occurs mainly because they were one of the first to reach the market, but also because they are the cheapest 3-4 times that are on offer every year. That does not mean that there are no alternatives that are even better, and also read formats that the Kindle do not have.
Signatures like Kobo have quite squeezed the step, with increasingly complete models and that at this point are even cheaper, with color screen and ergonomics that nothing has to envy to the Kindle.
When reading EPUB, getting books is easier than ever, even free, such as the more than 75,000 free rights that you can download from the Gutenberg project website.
If you are willing to change, these are some of those that we would recommend as an alternative to the Kindle.
