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.

I'm sorry OP this sucks and I'm sure you'll make the best decision. The Kobo's are better but they feel more fragile to me and my KLC lives on my bed and still use my Oasis as my outside reader since they built that model tough and still think it was the last good 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

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

É bizarro como uma coisa que começou barato virou um troço caro pra cacete. E esses aí nem são os modelos com mais recursos. Comprei o meu Kindle Oasis, e já achei bastante caro na época, mas ele foi o preço desse Paperwhite. Imagina qnt custaria hoje.

Amazon is gross, but my Kindle Oasis (2019?) is incredible. Buy a kindle used from eBay and use a DRM-free source like bookshop.org + your local library. Kobo is owned by another huge company (Rakuten) so I don't know if it's worth the hassle of making the switch.

I'm a button snob. I had a Kindle Voyage for 10 years that has the button like press areas. Would have loved an Oasis, but they were too rich for me. I sideload all my books, and Amazon likes to remove sideloaded books from devices. I often would be halfway through a book to find it was gone when I

Yes 100%. I started with a kindle, but if I had to do it over again, I'd get a Kobo. (Unless if you read a bunch of indie/trad pub novels, then get a kindle). Use Kobo with Calibre (software) to organize your books. I use a tagging system to identify tropes, ships, and whether they are in my TBR or

Lo que los hace superiores es la calidad de los materiales y la construcción. Si tienes en mano un paperwhite y un clara, la balanza se inclina muchísimo a favor del paperwhite Luego tienes lo fácil y rápido que es para cargarle libros y documentos personales. Al contrario de lo que dice la gente… d
