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

Go camping with it as I did. It will drown and you can buy a waterproof Kindle Oasis as I did.

I own an Oasis and Kindle Basic. I’ve held my friend PW before but never used it. The only way he can bring out is if he brings a bag along to carry it. Doesn’t fit in any of his pants pockets. I’m a guy and my Basic fits the front and back pockets of all of my pants and the breast pockets of all of

I wish they made kindle paperwhite with a left or right side holder like the oasis. The bottom only hold makes it sometimes hard to read my kindle on my side while in bed.

I bought my very first Kindle, a basic 2019 during the pandemic. If has been with me through everything, work, medical school, hospital duties. It’s my solace during those moments that I needed to dissociate. Then in 2024, someone tried to sell me a brand new Boox Page (sealed) for 50% off because t

Ohhh this looks nice. I have the same goals as you and recently got a Boox Palma. I really like it and it has def got me off my phone more, but it’s not as pleasant to read on as my old Kindle Oasis. But Oasis has the Amazon lock-in, and also is still microUSB charging. I was thinking of selling bot

I gave my Oasis to my niece whose Kindle died. I bought a Scribe thinking “bigger is better, right?” Nope. The Scribe is good for what it does, but the size was too much for my constant reading and infrequent writing. And most importantly I missed the hell out of the page turn buttons! I read so muc

The kindle is an e-reader, it’s incredibly lightweight both in terms of its mass and of its capability. Using one is not at all like using an iPad, the screen feels different to your eyes and it’s not capable of installing apps or browsing the internet. I have an oasis from about 10 years ago and it

I completely agree with you! There is something truly magical about the form factor of the Kindle 4th and 5th generation that modern e-readers just haven't been able to replicate. It's fascinating how you went through premium models like the Voyage and Oasis, only to find yourself reaching back for
