Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.

Boox is the best, I've got to read using the app I want (moon reader), got to install whatever news apps I want

How does Boox compare to Kobo?

Boox has official support to play store, while Barnes and Noble you need to search on Internet . I buy books at Kobo, it's my favorite store now. It's the only store that I can find decent amount of titles not in English. Do they have an e reader?
