Same five topics on every shelf, so Kindle and Kobo are easy to compare. Open a shelf for formats, sideloading, library loans, buying rules, and reading setup.

Start with the app you already use. If you only have a pile of EPUB files, open EPUB or Calibre. If the book came from a library card, open Libby first and only then ask whether Kindle fulfillment exists in your country.
