For the Kindle people coming in…

Recent Kindle convert here, my Oasis was my all time favourite device (gifted to my wife now). The Libra is an amazing successor AND I don’t have to deal with Amazon anymore.

Kobo vs Kindle

I’m a pretty dedicated Kobo owner but it’s largely personal preference. The Paperwhite is a really good device and Amazon’s ecosystem is very easy to use. There’s a reason that Amazon is basically the default ereader for a lot of people. I switched to Kobo for two reasons. First, the form factor of

Amazon is shooting it's self in the foot.

Ditched Amazon years ago because 1. What you're speaking on. 2. Hardware team just gave up after the Oasis 7" and have spent the past decade putting out nonsense with zero vision other than marketing while Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook keep iterating form and size and bezel considerations and 3. Other comp

Best Ereader for actually owning your books?

I switched from Kindle to Kobo last summer after accidentally dropping a tungsten box cutter on my Oasis. Best accidental ereadercide ever.

Kindle Oasis or Kobo Libra

Libra. As much as I loved the Kindle Oasis, it's hard to find them now with good battery life because they aren't being made anymore.

Recomendación de kindle

Yo tengo uno. Paperwhite es el punto calidad precio de los Kindle, viene con todo lo mínimo e indispensable, con características extra (luz, resistencia al agua, pantalla grande), sin llegar a las características premium de las gamas más altas (Oasis, con botones y pantalla aún más grande). Es lo má

Amazon restocking the kindle oasis

I feel like it's old stock they found that they hadn't planned on selling because they didn't realise how popular it actually was (based on my other theory that Amazon doesn't invest in any meaningful form of customer focused input or social listening when it comes to business decisions about Kindle

I summon thee who use kobo

It just depends on what you're looking for. You basically have three classes of devices available to you: Kindle: generally excellent hardware for the price point, but the software is middling, at best. Long tradition of making the experience of using the device actively worse as Amazon chases reven

Amazon ends support for pre-2013 devices

English isn’t my native language either and your post looked fine to me! I agree though - for people who had or could only afford an older Kindle (20% off isn’t necessarily generous for people in countries where a Kindle costs a lot of money compared to their income, and in some countries it’s impos

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I keep it on airplane mode all the time, which is what annoys me. I've also jailbroken it, following all steps to ensure no updates occur. It's a Kindle Oasis. Still, it reverted the process overnight despite no update being pushed. I had to factory reset it. Right now, I'm waiting for a brand new X
