Can you read books checked out from libby on kobo?
It occasionally takes some doing, but my wife does! She reads lots of Libby on Kobo and even manga from Libby.
I’m not sure if it’s the same everywhere but in Canada you can for sure. Kindle has a very slightly better selection (small press horror lit tends to be missing from Kobo) but doesn’t support Overdrive here.
My daughter reads a lot of books checked out via overdrive on her kobo (in Canada), though the search feature on the kobo itself is kind of garbage. We have better luck doing a search with the Libby app on a phone, checking it out, then syncing the kobo.
I use a Kindle myself (purchased on one of the good sales for roughly half price), though primarily via epub files transferred to the Kindle using Calibre. It's a busy UI, but it does work well and has lots of features. Pretty good as an archive of your ebook library.
This makes it seem like you can, but I don't know for sure.

That’s cool, I tried a kindle paperwhite, but returned it because I kept accidentally hitting that stupid power button they put on the bottom right where you hold it while reading.
Ha, yeah I do that all the time. I'm still considering switching to a Kobo once I read all the books in my queue.
I have a kobo Clara hd and it has the button on the bottom and i do this, its very annoying
Weird - literally never happened to me because I hold it 4 fingers on the back and thumb on the left edge.
