A while back I posted about using an old ereader in the kitchen after I found that the magnetic case sticks to the refrigerator. That ended up not being the most secure thing as it would eventually slide down so now I am trying metal phone stickers and magnets. It is also very easy to remove for charging.

Sometimes using magnets with an ereader can keep it in sleep mode, but in this arrangement and this model (Kobo Nia) it works fine so far.

Kristin found that she couldn’t simply move her ebook files from one device to another. She couldn’t download her books from the Amazon account she bought them through.

When she did eventually manage to access the book files themselves, that was only the beginning of the journey to getting them on her lovely new Kobo.

Do we really own our ebooks?

A recent video by author and editor Kristin McTiernan about her experience of switching from a Kindle to a Kobo ereader caught a lot of attention, and highlighted why buying DRM-free ebooks is so important.
