Is Amazon methodically wrecking Google Apps?

What happened to all my books? had been reading on my kindle with Calibre for ~ 3 or 4 years, suddelny my entire collection is gone (except what was purchased through kindle)

Few things. Fire HD 8 is not a kindle. So your title is wrong. Secondly yes it is a black and white e ink screen. I was simply providing what I did to get out of the Amazon echo system.

Developing the ideal eye-friendly phone - need input please!

The matte solution needs to be not to perfect. Sounds weird but many manufacturers try to get impressive numbers on paper "99.9 percent glare free", but the result is a grainy, uneven screen making reading uncomfortable (for example the TCL nxtpaper devices). I think a very fine matte layer or anti-
