Any good suggestions for alternatives to Kindle and Audible? I’m looking at storytel, tolino, libro.fm, and also places like Casa del Libro, wondering if anyone’s used them and if they’re good?
Or another service?

As far as I can tell, the closest thing to a European supplier of ereaders is Pocketbook. They have much better privacy policies than most of their competition. From what I gather most of their line up is pretty good, I didn’t read great things on their note-taking 10" device when I checked it around Christmas time (pretty slow, apparently).
Tolino devices are for the most part rebranded Kobos, though I’m not sure how much the firmware differs, and it may very useful if you desire a high Integration wirh the european bookstores, which should at least have to respect GDPR to a meaningful degree.
All non-kindle eBook stores use the same Adobe DRM anyway.
On any ereader, the first thing I would do is still install Koreader right away.
Yeah the integration with the bookstore has been great with Kindle and very convenient, but a big barrier to migration which gives me some pause before simply ditching one closed ecosystem for another.
Will check out koreader for sure
