Help me with my kobo please.

[GreyDuck]

Hi
I've just got a kobo, because I wanted to move away from Amazon. I loved my kindle because everything was so easy.
I can borrow books from my local library using borrow box (via ADE on my laptop) but there's not a great selection, and it's a bit of a faff. I can't seem to renew books - I have to return and re-load, which loses my page. Can anyone help?

So, I'm also looking for suggestions for:
The cheapest and easiest way to buy books for my kobo.

Thank you

My local council library service has BorrowBox and I agree that it is poor particularly compared with Libby (Overdrive) However, as far as I am aware, UK public libraries allow you to join any library service even if you don't live in the area. So if you can sign up online to a local authority library service that has Libby then you can borrow in the usual way.

I buy e-books from https://www.kobo.com/gb/en and I have found that most books cost the same as Amazon and they usually match Amazon's Kindle daily deal prices.

I also buy from Amazon and convert them but that is something better done following instructions on the internet!

I don't think there is any way around losing your place after renewals.

Thanks, I'm trying to move away from Amazon, but it'd be good to get my old books over to the kobo, so I'll have a search online.
I'm looking into other library services, but I need to join online/by post. Oxfordshire has a good catalogue AND use overdrive, (which I believe can go straight to kobo without the laptop) but seem to want you to call in person to the library to join. I've emailed them to find out more.
